Metafictionized Phlebotinum Poisoning

""Yeah, this is a story told from a first-person narrative, but I just happen to be one of those omniscient, third-person narrators. Now isn't that cool? (However, your answer is probably an unimpressed 'no'.)""

""This has got to be the dumbest thing you've ever done. And that's saying a lot.""

A fantasy/parody Web Original Serial Novel on fictionpress.com written by a long-time TV Tropes lurker. While it only has twenty-nine chapters so far, it is noteworthy for the extensive use of tropes taken directly from this wiki. Makes numerous Shout Outs to Harry Potter, Twilight, and Final Fantasy, and many more franchises.

The story revolves around a perfectly normal boy named Tagino Storp. One day, an angel named Arthur Avatar from another dimension accidentally opens a portal in his school. Tagino is then recruited by Arthur in the mission to destroy anything that might anger the Reader god, including Deus Ex Machinas, Monsters of the Week, and the worst of them all, Mary Sues.

Contains high concentrations of Invoked Tropes, Parodied Tropes and Lampshade Hanging. There is also a narrator, who is fully aware of the fact that s/he is in an webpage and talks directly to the reader.

Can be found here.

Currently indefinitely postponed.

And yes, this troper is the author.

This Web Original contains examples of:
""Sues: Failed creations of the Writer (aka the Creator), Sues are seemingly perfect in every aspect. Angers the Reader very quickly and effectively. Because of their highly dangerous nature, destroy on sight. Distinguishable by strange hairstyles and/or hair color. ""
 * Action Girl - Levt, Rite, Teres and Fran
 * A God Is You -
 * Applied Phlebotinum - Literal applied Phlebotinum. Tagino eats a Phlebotinum-filled gummy bear given to him by Arthur, which gives him the Flying Brick set of powers, minus flight. According to Ed, Phlebotinum can absorb and release "Phlebotinous energy", which allows magic and other superhuman feats to be performed.
 * Author Avatar -.

 * BFS - Arthur's and Teres's sword, plus the one Baldydork gives Tagino in chapter 14.

 * Curb Stomp Battle - Loads.
 * Dark Action Girl - Enoby and Willow.
 * Deus Ex Machina - Played for Laughs
 * Evil Overlord List - Mentioned and followed by Lord Baldydork, who's Dangerously Genre Savvy.
 * Evil Tower of Ominousness - Edvard's fortress looks like this, but he's (supposedly) a good guy.
 * Expy - Edvard Sparkleface, Arry Fotter and Lord Baldydork. Enoby, too. Now we have Light, who's specifically described as close to being one of a "silver-haired, flowergirl-stabbing, Eastern RPG villain". Guess who.
 * First Last Kiss -
 * Fun With Acronyms - P.L.O.T. stands for Phlebotinous Linearly Oriented Timeline.

 * Lady of War - Ed, supposedly.
 * Lampshade Hanging - Oh, where to start...
 * Living Forever Is Awesome - Apparently that's what Arthur thinks. Ed and Tha, on the other hand...

- Arthur Avatar's Big List of Things That Might Piss Off The Reader

""She had blue hair of the color of a clear sky, lined with black streaks like melted darkness. Her large, almond shaped eyes were silver colored, a perfect match for her perfectly perfect face. Her lips were the color of freshly-picked rose petals, and shimmered like rubies of the finest quality. There was an otherworldly, wonderful aroma about her that did not come with shampoo or perfume. She wore a revealing blouse made of the best silk and embroided with silver threads, along with a perfectly matching miniskirt. Her legs were wrapped in blue fishnets that matched her hair. If Fran was beautiful, then she was gorgeous. Her figure was so delicate, so waif-like, yet she had supple, D-cup breasts. She radiated a perfect aura of perfect perfection whereever she went. Her beautiful neck was adorned with a silver necklace embedded with the some of the best sapphire found on the planet, one of them the size of a chicken egg that glowed with magical (not Phlebotinous) energy. Earrings of the finest silver hand from her sensual ears. (If I had a lung, I would be gasping for air right now.) A pure virgin of the purest purity, she was a friend to all living things. In her right hand she held a beautifully crafted katana decorated with the emblem of a serpentine dragon made of platinum, with an air of grace that surpassed all other. Her name was—If I had a lung, I would be inhaling, inhaling deeply—Hikari Sapphyre Trinity Blyss Seafoam Venustus. ""
 * Common Mary Sue Traits - Intentionally invoked. It appears that the author have taken the descriptions of the first 'Sue' to appear in the story from the Common Mary Sue Traits page.

- the narrator

""“Can’t.” “Harder!”“Still can’t!”“Harder!” awkward silence followed. "
 * Ebony also makes an appearance as the ultimate Sue.
 * Medium Awareness - The narrator.
 * Mooks - Strangely un-mookish ones.
 * Ms. Fanservice - Fran. Just look at her name.
 * Murder Arson and Jaywalking - Professor Dunderbore still hangs onto a grudge against Lord Baldydork even after sixty years...for stealing his lollipop when they were children.
 * Our Angels Are Different - The angels, duh.
 * Our Vampires Are Different
 * Plot Armor - Deliberately invoked/Played straight. Explained as the P.L.O.T bending time and space around a person in order to protect them. Tagino has a high reading, apparently.
 * Plot Hole - Deliberately invoked/parodied. P.L.O.T. holes to be exact. Also doubles as the Portal Network.
 * Portal Cut - Happens to Tagino once in the fourth chapter. He also kills Hikari with this by accident.
 * Portal Network - The P.L.O.T. holes count.
 * Rule of Cool - Some of the Elite Redshirts' weapons, including a pole-chainsaw with a huge bayonet an the other end.
 * Rule of Sexy - A female Redshirt is described as "skimpily dressed against all common sense and sensibility" during the fireworks display at Yitic-Latipac.
 * Samus Is a Girl - Subverted. When Baldydork takes his helmet off, this trope was explicitly mentioned.
 * Seen It All - Ed sort of qualifies.
 * Shout Out - Pigpimples Academy of Sorceresscraft and Sorcery, ran by Professor Dunderbore. Sound familiar to you? Also, the "ultimate Mary Sue" calls herself "ENOBY".
 * Edvard Sparkleface. His face is so shiny that he needs a paper bag to hide it.
 * The "Blatant Crossover" chapters are made of these, involving the characters crossing over into worlds wearing with iconic characters making Lawyer Friendly Cameos.
 * Significant Anagram - Tagino Storp and Fran Sevice, among others.
 * Sliding Scale of Fourth Wall Hardness - varies. Depends on the narrator's mood, it can go from Visible Fourth Wall to Playing with the Fourth Wall.
 * Speech Impediment - Arthur, who has a lisp.
 * Summon Magic - Played for Laughs with Arthur, who (at first unsuccessfully) summons a horde of harmless giant coakroaches.
 * That Came Out Wrong

--Arthur and Tagino, as Arthur teaches Tagino how to control Phlebotinum with his mind.

"“I do not acshept virgin shacrificesh! … Stop what you’re doing! I meant I don’t acshept human shacrificesh, virgin or not!” ""

- Arthur, to his worshippers offering him a virgin sacrfice.
