I'd say go for it. Mind you, however, that Marrissa is already described in her own page.
EDIT: I computed the list. Nine OCs in total, two of them (Marrissa and Ebony) have their own pages. You decide if it is worth it.
Edited by ASBusinessMagnet
Obviously, we don't need to make pages for Marissa and Ebony. But as for the rest of 'em...
[WITTY REMARK HERE]
Here's the list, minus Marrissa and Ebony:
The Chronicles of Zim, Tak and Tek - Tek
Invader Bre-Z / DBreBre-Z saga - Bre-Z
Defying Destiny - Serenity Winter
Harry Potter Turns to the Lord - David
ZaLR - Liz
Invader Cakez's fics - Grazie
Half-Irkens - Grace Tall
And a quote I made up for use on the article:
"This page is used to describe the Original Characters that appear in the fics published on The Half World. (Since Skepkitty MSTs all of her fics As Herself, they do not feature any original characters. There was one MST (of My Immortal) which would have a version MSTed by the Companion Cube, but he couldn't because you had murdered him.)"
Edited by ASBusinessMagnet
Lol. I'd forgotten about the Companion Cube joke.
Looks good! We should add Ruhe (Grazie's SIR), though.

You know what would be a better idea?
Someone actually working on the descriptions and trope lists for characters.
Well, here's what I can think of right now:
Tek is a Marty Stu and a Relationship Stu.
Bre-Z is an Author Avatar, and would probably count as a Copycat Sue as well (female Irken comes to Earth and blends in effortlessly, resulting in Dib possibly crushing on her? Sound like anyone?)
Serenity is a Mary Sue, Jerk Sue, a Relationship Sue, a Copycat Sue (the story describes her as looking like Bella, but prettier, and the same two characters that fall for Bella fall for her), So Beautiful, It's a Curse, a Black Hole Sue, and an Author Avatar. (Also, Rape as Backstory, making her a Sympathetic Sue.)
David is an Author Avatar, and exists to deliver an Author Tract. He's also something of a Marty Stu.
Liz is a Relationship Sue.
Grazie... where to begin? She's a Mary Sue, an Author Avatar, a Jerk Sue (as the story progresses, and particularly towards Dib), a Relationship Sue, a Black Hole Sue, a Copycat Sue (same with Bre-Z, she's got a few too many things in common with Tak), has a Dead Little Sister, is capable of massive amounts of Wangst, and is a Sympathetic Sue.
Grace is a Mary Sue, an Author Avatar, and a Relationship Sue.

30-Sue Pileup would be a trope to put on the article above the examples.
Some more tropes:
Grazie could be a Emo Teen, subverted in that this is an Informed Attribute because she never acts emo, but her words were "emo without all the slicing and stuff." She also has an Impractically Fancy Outfit. (12-inch heels? Remember?)
Grace is a Perky Goth, Half-Human Hybrid, Human Mom, Non-Human Dad...
Many of these could be Good Flaws, Bad Flaws.
That's all I got. :D
Oh, yeah, Emo Teen definitely fits as an Informed Attribute for Grazie. And I'd forgotten about the twelve-inch-heels... but yeah, we should add Impractically Fancy Outfit.
Thanks for the tropes for Grace, too! :D

I couldn't think of that many tropes for my works and/or works that I read if I tried.

Though I'm by no means a fan of Invader Cakez, my nickname for her (Invader The-Cakez-Is-A-Lie) might be considered something of a Fan Nickname.
However, would that fit best under MST tropes or Fan Fic tropes?
[WITTY REMARK HERE] Hide / Show Replies
I'd say MST tropes, since it refers to an audience reaction of sorts rather than anything present in the material. Also, there's a Detractor Nickname redirect, so the "fan" thing won't have to be an issue.

Yeah, so I just want to say I'm really glad I found this blog through the ITS MY LIFE page. I guess even MarissaThe"Writer" is good for something...

Once this page gets more tropes, it might be a good idea to split it into two sections: the first section would be tropes found in the fanfics themselves, the second would be tropes specific to the blog (or to my MSTs). Just a thought.
Edited by Lillias [WITTY REMARK HERE] Hide / Show Replies
That's a good idea! Maybe an index with "MST Tropes" and "Fanfic Tropes" would be good. I don't know how to add an index anyways so...
Edited by UpsidePickle207
I was thinking of just dividing it up into two folders, since I don't know how to add an index either.
[WITTY REMARK HERE]
OH FREAKING GOSH DARNIT TO HECK!! (stupid inability to swear without feeling guilty) I was JUST finished making a Crowning Moment of Funny page, all foldered and organized by story when BLAM, I didn't save it right away and accidentally clicked on something in a Favorites bar above.
;A; I'm going to go cry in the corner nao

We need more tropes! And, just for laughs, a discussion on the discussion page.

More tropes, yes!
I was considering adding Berserk Button for my reaction whenever GLaDOS gets insulted/written poorly/killed multiple times (HATE HATE HATE would not be one of my Catchphrases if not for the amount of times the above happened in It's My Life, after all). However, adding tropes to my own TV Tropes page feels kind of weird.

The other thing I can think of off the top of my head is that there was a Running Gag in my MST of Zim's Future (which I reread the other day) about Gaz throwing people into puddles.
[WITTY REMARK HERE]
'Kay, so I added Big "NO!" and Incredibly Lame Pun.
[WITTY REMARK HERE]
I didn't see your discussion replies until I had already added Berserk Button for Defying Destiny and clothing descriptions. I'm sorry about that!
I'll add Running Gag for carnivals! I don't remember you saying anything about Gaz throwing people into puddles, so you can add that. :|
You know what might be fun? A character sheet for OCs in the fanfics I've MSTed!
...Just putting that out there. This may be a horrible idea. It just struck me.
