3	It was originally written for a KinkMeme on Website/LiveJournal ([[http://norsekink.livejournal.com/12950.html?thread=31748758#t31748758 here]]) but after chapter four it moved and continued on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn ([[http://archiveofourown.org/works/1203646/chapters/2458057 here]]). 7 chapters.

5	The plot centres around the online exploits of Series/GameOfThrones '[[PoesLaw not-sure-if]]-TrollFic' writer Sassgardian [[spoiler:(Loki)]], who decides between seasons to try himself in the SuperHero RealPersonFic genre, and his friendship with [=PlusFiveToBling=] (Kamala) an established CrackFic writer there.

7	Expect digs on internet cultures, fandoms and the like; also {{conversational troping}}, trope {{discuss\|edTrope}}ing and a lots of {{lampshade\|Hanging}}s.

9	----
10	!!This work provides examples of:
11	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Discussed in universe, especially how badly this can go if you write RealPersonFic about villains.
12	* BizarreAlienBiology: Comes up about the Asgardians regularly. [[spoiler:[[MindScrew Like how is this Loki thing even working]]?! At the end the most logical explanation they find is that [[AWizardDidIt it must be magic]].]]
13	* Main/{{Blog}}: Several. For example Loki's ''official'' one is hxxp://lokiofasgard.tumblr.com
14	* BreadEggsBreadedEggs:
15	--> Do you ever get the feeling when you're near him that everything's going to just [[MadeOfExplodium explode for no reason]]?
16	--> '''[=NotTheHawkGuy=] replied''': That or [[AwesomenessIsVolatile catch fire]]. Or [[BeeAfraid turn into bees]]. Or turn into ''bees on fire''.
17	* CassandraTruth: The Sassgardian has a lot of ''headcanons'' to share from the [[{{squick}} anatomy and mating habits]] of dragons to Asgardian culture. [[spoiler:Most, if not all, of it is true.]]
18	* {{Cosplay}}: The Sassgardian is an avid cosplayer. [[spoiler:Meaning he [[KleptomaniacHero shamelessly steals other people's stuff]].]]
19	* CultureClash: Asgardian vs. Earth, more specifically United States culture. When it gets apparent that, yes, Asgardians have less of a problem with minors drinking alcohol, this prompts several people to begin pondering how to get there. [[spoiler:[[FloatingContinent Gravity is heck of a border control]].]]
20	* DracoInLeatherPants: Sassgardian in universe gets accused with this about his heroic [[spoiler:Loki]] interpretation. [[spoiler:When his identity comes out this changes to accusations about writing SelfInsertFic.]]
21	* GameMaster: Sassgardian runs the best AD&D game his friends ever had, when he [[NoodleIncident doesn't get them thrown out of dining establishments]].
22	* GenFic: This is one. Also Sassgardian promises that his next fic featuring [[spoiler:his former teammates]] will be Gen and G rated if they let him write it.
23	-->'''[[spoiler:[=NotTheHawkGuy=]]] about giving permission''': I'm going to regret this, aren't I?
24	* GuiltyPleasure: Some people admit anonymously that they actually like [[spoiler:''For Asgardia!'' by Sassgardian.]]
25	* HighlyVisibleNinja: Well this fic has a self described SecretAgent failing at ''secret'', and a PrivateDetective failing at ''private''.
26	* HitlerAteSugar: The ''logic'' of the internet anons in TheUnmasking example had this in spades. [[spoiler:Yes. They concluded that he is the Evil!Loki and not someone else resembling him because horns ''and'' magic QED he must be literally Hitler... umm... Evil!LOKI!]]
27	* HornyVikings:
28	** Loki's horn circlet may be too good in functioning as a lightning rod, but it's definitely ''not'' dorky.
29	** Also how do we know it's really Loki? Asgardians generally like horns. [[spoiler:But he should really loose them if he wants to avoid confusion.]]
30	* HumanPopsicle: One conversation about fanfic plots ends with Sassgardian and [=PlusFiveToBling=] imagining Wolverine becoming the next ''Captain America''... frozen [[InstantIceJustAddCold in an ice cube]].
31	* HypotheticalFightDebate: "Who do you think would win in a fight? Billy or David?"
32	* InsistentTerminology: Don't say [[spoiler:Loki]] stole anybody's power, little old him just ''borrowed'' it.
33	* TheInternetIsForPorn: And for some people rating it ''Explicit'' just isn't enough tagging.
34	* IntimateHealing: If you ask Sassgardian, the characters not wanting to [[CatchYourDeathOfCold catch their deaths of cold]] is always a good excuse for slash.
35	* MainstreamObscurity: [[invoked]]
36	** Everybody heard about Loki ("he is an evil villain, right?"), some heard about the Young Avengers ("It didn't last long, right?"), but [[spoiler:that Loki was part of that team?]] crickets
37	** Who can you write about on the Asgardian side of the Marvel Universe? Thor. And... Thor? [[spoiler:Everybody from the [[Myth/NorseMythology myths]] and more.]]
38	* MathematiciansAnswer:
39	-->[[spoiler:Kate]]: [[HornsOfVillainy It's the horns]]. You look like you're either going for an [[EvilSorcerer evil Satanic sorcerer thing]], or you're trying to make a [[IncrediblyLamePun very terrible pun]] about [[LovableSexManiac your current mood]].
40	-->[[spoiler:Sassgardian]]: ''Well. Yes.''
41	** Or:
42	-->Anon 1: If they can figure out how to get into a city that sits twenty feet above the plain.
43	-->Anon 2: alright. how do you get in then?
44	-->Anon 1: ''Through the front door.''
45	* MetaFiction: It's a "fanfic about fanfic" and fanficers. It's even tagged like that on Archive Of Our Own.
46	* MostCommonSuperpower: [=PlusFiveToBling=] asks, why this is an important point in [[spoiler:Sassgardian's first fic]].
47	* OhCrapThereAreFanficsOfUs: [[spoiler:...and it was created by our former teammate! Take it down Loki, this instant!]]
48	* OlderThanTheyLook: The internet anons are first horrified by the little girl at the Sassgardian's AD&D game, then it dawns on them that she is Asgardian and probably older than all of them combined.
49	* RealPersonFic: The story is set in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, where any fic featuring Marvel superheroes is by definition real person. This creates some interesting issues.
50	* RhetoricalQuestionBlunder: Mostly subverted by "Wait, don't answer that!", [[GenreSavvy they know]] that Sassgardian is [[{{Troll}} all too happy]] to give them TooMuchInformation if given a chance.
51	* ScrapbookStory: This fic is told exclusively through fanfic synopses, forum threads, tumblr asks and reblogs, chat logs and other assorted internet communication.
52	* ScreenName: On the internet everybody has some [[spoiler:Loki has ''two'']]. Most of the ones used in the fic are guessable with knowledge about the source material. (Also the two main characters' are spoilered in this article.)
53	* SecretIdentity: Well, most named characters here are super heroes with secret identities, and screen names for the internet, yes they spend a whole lot of time trying to guess who is who in this mess.
54	* SelfDeprecation: Fanfic about people writing fanfic, and use the internet, and arguing on the internet, guess why this trope is here.
55	* ShowWithinAShow: Fanfics. Most just referenced by their fanfic site summary or discussion, but there are also excerpts from ''For Asgardia!'' [[spoiler:(Sassgardian's Thor and Heroic!Loki fantasy adventure, from what we see it's perfectly work safe)]].
56	* SlashFic: Sassgardian's first attempt in the new community is femslash, [[spoiler:Hawkeye II/Miss America]]. It gets taken down. Also more mentioned or discussed later: like asking if it'll be an X&Y or X/Y work.
57	* SpeakOfTheDevil: Facetiously suggested about Sassgardian. In this case it was more like shittalking about him in a forum he also reads proving not to be a smart idea.
58	* TooMuchInformation: Happens after people get over the CassandraTruth.
59	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: [=LokiOfAsgard=]'s tumbr looks like a food blog dedicated to bacon and pancakes.
60	* {{Troll}}: Sassgardian, he would order pizza to Asgardia, just to see poor delivery guy trying to figure out, how to get in. The other part of his reputation.
61	* UnconventionalFormatting: It does have chapters, but within that it's formatted like tumblr asks, reblog threads; Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn fanfic summaries, comments; mobile chat; Live Journal comment sections and such.
62	* UndisclosedFunds: [[spoiler:Loki]] always has money. Don't ask from where.
63	* UnfortunateNames: The more logical internet anons' conclusion about [[spoiler:Sassgardian being Loki]]. It's not a particularly popular one though.
64	* TheUnmasking: [[spoiler:When the Daily Bugle prints pictures of Loki, and the internet deduces his online identity, this causes a torrent of hate directed at the Sassgardian.]]
65	* UnreliableNarrator: [[spoiler:Sassgardian]] swears Loki is just an LovableRogue with a [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold heart of gold]]! [[spoiler:They are the same person.]] But generally if you're a super on the internet you'll be lying to people sooner or later to protect your secret identity.
66	* ViewersAreGeniuses: You need at least cursory knowledge not only in the comicbooks referenced but various fanfic / internet communities (at least Website/LiveJournal, {{Website/Tumblr}}, Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn, and chat) to make sense of this fic.
67	* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Don't, if you don't want to be fan wanked by Sassgardian, except maybe if you're writing a robot-Asgardian AU.
