I'm Lina. The 6 is a reference to my IRC nick, which is... Linaaaaaa.

I'm addicted to TV Tropes and spend the better part of my work day here. TV Tropes introduced me to what is now my very favorite fandom/obsession, A Song of Ice and Fire. TV Tropes saved my life.

I have a contributor page if you're still curious. And I just joined the IRC channel. Yeah. This introduction is awesome.

Uh. That was me up there. Somehow I got logged out.

Hi, I'm Jennie, I'm a 19 year old Criminology Student, and I somehow managed to find this place after Googling ways to get a life. Needless to say, I failed to find what I was looking for.

Hullo!

I'm Lunarius, and I'm new. I've interests in a bit of this and that and generally have become addicted to Tropes since the husband tossed a link my way.

Hello folks, I'm Nibleswick, I've been surfing the pages for a while now, and I thought I would start helping out.

Hi everyone. I'm Ivlivs. I love to browse this site since it is so interesting; I even added a few examples under the name "Ah Ah Ah."

I like to write fiction. Completing it, on the other hand...yeah.

It's good to know that tropes are not bad, and also that you all will work to keep this site from becoming Serious Business.

By the way, I'm the one who asked the question "Why don't the Negaverse goons just shoot them?" in the Sailor Moon Just Bugs Me category.

Hello. My name is Andy Waltfeld. You killed my-wait, wrong introduction.

Long time reader, short time Troper. I generally hover over the mecha series, Code Lyoko, and the Wild Mass Guessings thereof. Also, I hate having to use curly brackets to pothole one-word links, because I keep forgetting to put them in as such and wind up spending three updates to make one update's worth of changes (one to add actual content, one to fix/omit broken italics, one to fix one-word potholes).

I made Front Mission, saved ISOStandardUrbanGroceries from being nuked, saw the carnage at the Medusa Cascade, sneered at Nazi science, and shall burn until the end of days (or until I get employed by someone gullible enough to promote me to middle management).

I'm Lawman, a long time fan of this site ever since I discovered it a few months ago.

I love watching anime, discussing crossovers, reading manga, and doing original works of fiction, just to name a few of my pastimes.

I figured I could actually join in the Tropers' community to actually know the place better, because there seemed to be cool people out here.

What about Squicky things? Fetish Fuel certainly has some things i prefer I'd never heard about...

Maybe one of the few good examples in Nightmare Fuel are scary? (Bah; who am I kidding with that one? It's all weak stuff for anyone over the age of ten.)

Because Nightmare Fuel is specifically about stuff that unintentionally scares children. Stuff that scares adults is Nightmare Fuel Unleaded.

Ohh... I didn't know that. I never really paid much attention to the Nightmare Fuel page.

Yeah, it used to be all lumped together, then some enterprising tropers decided to split it up when the examples list got too ridiculously long. I think it may have been the very first article to get split due to its length.

Well, I managed to stomach both Higurashi seasons so I dunno.

Hello. I've been around the site for awhile (not super long, just regular long), and have only just now started an account. Recent college graduate, recently turned twenty-one, and I have a sick fascination for summarizing things. Probably how I got here.

Not particularly computer-literate. Last time I did anything with forums was before those stupid smileys came into being (back in my day, we did it old school. So forgive me if I'm not up-to-date on technology.

See you in the discussion pages.

Oh, God, that does it. I'm never using another smiley face ever again for the rest of my life.

Using a : and a ) might not look good, but =) still works good enough.

I really do think all those pointy smilies look silly... =P

You can turn them off if you like. Set for your posts, as viewed by others. Set for all posts you view.

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

Oh, you're talking about the freaky ones. Yeah. (Other thread discussing that.)

I'm Specialist290. Not exactly "new" to TV Tropes (except possibly by the standards of some of the older tropers) or to the forums (I've posted here and there), but I haven't properly introduced myself, so...

My real name is... something I will not tell you because I'm rather paranoid :p I'm a recent High School graduate and hoping to be a writer eventually (among other things). I also exhibit traits of Deadpan Snarker and Nerd Glasses.

Also, I am entirely convinced that I do in fact exist, and so is the other guy who talks to me when I'm alone in dark places.

Hey. I'm Khyl (Pronounced Kyle). I've just been browsing the site for about a week and I finally decided to join the forum.

Huh. Not much else to say. Well, this is a cool site, and I'm glad to be here.

I really friggin' love Pokemon.
