I only addressed the typical heroes and heroines we see but secondary characters are a whole new ballgame aren't they? This will be so fun to research who I want my next heroine to be. I already know who the hero will be, Mr. Silence, from Inspired by Grace. I'm going to really ponder this next book using TV tropesJeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027833172945731971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-23101280956340614872015-07-16T00:18:13.045+01:002015-07-16T00:18:13.045+01:00love this post!!

He is one of those smarty pants who loves researching interesting things. He challenged me to look up the site but gave me a very strict warning. "Be careful, only go when you have a few hours to kill because it is a research black hole and it is a mass of information!" He was right! It is such an easy site to use and so handy!Jeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027833172945731971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-38785476851390096832015-07-14T23:00:48.996+01:002015-07-14T23:00:48.996+01:00I love the redeemed rake trope and one of the best...I love the redeemed rake trope and one of the best is Sebastian, St. Vincent in Lisa Kleypas's The Devil in Winter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11784288072362268328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-839525549786745818.post-25767760495285332662015-07-14T19:08:47.192+01:002015-07-14T19:08:47.192+01:00Wonderful example!

It's fun to let yourself go in that character. In a way it's a female version of the gentleman snark.

I've used them (and the website) for more years than I care to remember - first to aid with the analysis of various works I've read, then with secondary (high school) students to not only expand their own creative writing skills, but also their reading comprehension and their ability to analyse the work of the authors they read. TV Tropes was the first place I went to when I decided to try my hand at writing, and I must admit, it never occurred to me that fiction authors didn't already know about them.
