Line 8:
The first fanfic I've completed in four years (though you really don't want to know about my [[Old Shame|early stuff]], you really don't), ''Dead Connie Society'' is [[Troperrific|filled with tropes]], [[Shout-Out|many referred to by their trope names]]. It's got a lot of jokes that in many ways are true to the spirit of the show (which means there is some [[Dead Baby Comedy]] as well as some [[Ass Pull|stuff I came up with at the last minute]]). It may not ever become a classic, or even a cult classic, but hopefully it's decent enough that I won't go down in history as someone who wrote a ''Family Guy'' fic that's bad even by ''Family Guy'' standards.

=== Featured Tropes ([[Troperrific|Hoo boy]]): ===
 
* [[All There in the Manual]]: I attempt to clear up things that might be confusing about the fic in [http://lurkerbunny.deviantart.com/journal/27735355/ my DA journal]. It's pretty much the text equivalent of a [[DVD Commentary]]. I try not to [[Don't Explain the Joke|explain too many jokes though]].
Line 29:
** I have a thing about [[Hot for Student|teacher/student]] relationships in general... Yeah.
** Non-sexual examples include the soundtrack (there are a '''lot''' of songs used in this fic. So much that I made a playlist of them), and of course the [[TV Tropes]] [[Shout-Out|Shout Outs]].
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: Well, this '''is''' ''[[Family Guy]]'', so the typical "[[South Park|manatee]] [[Fan Nickname|jokes]]" are expected, but this fic has a cutaway '''within''' a cutaway: After a cutaway to Quagmire in bed with Mork and a very angry Mindy, Mork prompts a flashback to when [[The Schizophrenia Conspiracy|Exidor]] invited them to an orgy. [[Ho Yay|It]] [[Fan Disservice|ends]] [[Squick|badly]].
** Also, Retro Rachel, as noted below.
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: Twice.
Line 40:
** Also, it's mentioned in the news report on Connie's "suicide" that two girls (Shannon Claire and Ashley [[Shout-Out|Dunnstock]]) committed suicide after attending Connie's 14th birthday. This isn't elaborated upon, but later in the story, Joe comes to arrest Mr. Weaver with Officer Claire and Officer Dunnstock...
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Mr. Weaver lets inappropriate remarks about Meg's breasts slip out several times, but he still genuinely cares about her, and she still finds him charming.
** He also finds teen pop stars [[Hannah Montana|Miley Cyrus]] and JoJo attractive, but also annoying. And yes, the JoJo thing was a deliberately [[Squick|Squicky]]y [[Cast Incest]] joke (she played Robin's daughter in ''RV''). Ain't I a stinker?
* [[Comic Book Time]]: [[Lampshaded]].
{{quote|'''Meg''': [Connie's torment of me has gone on] Ever since middle school. I remember the exact day I met her: September 1, 1995.
'''Mr. Weaver''': (pause) How old are you again?
'''Meg''': 17. <ref>[[Don't Explain the Joke|When FG started in 1999, Meg was 15, which means 1995 would have presumably when she would have started middle school (when she was 11). However, she was 16 for several years (counting the time during cancellation) and just turned 17 two years ago in "Peter's Two Dads"]]</ref> }}
