[[File:FanDanGo_trope_pic.png|frame|Our heroine, Ladies and Gentlemen]]
A webcomic updating Wednesdays and Sundays since September '09. An action comedy with [[Animesque|visuals influenced by manga]], as well as retro psychedelia, about snarky British magical knights.
Rekki Lune, a hot-tempered knight with [[Super Strength]] and a [[BFS|sword nearly as big as she is]] and her laid back indestructible hippy partner Subo set out on the trail of a bunch of political extremists armed with [[Magitech]] ray guns. The story is set in an alternate universe England called Anglise, where there are magical knights, and the technological level and aesthetic resembles the mid-late 20th century, particularly the 70s.
It's drawn by Kate "[[Darth Mongoose]]" Holden, occasional troper and British manga artist from [[Oop North]], and updates on Wednesdays and Sundays. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120715001141/http://www.drunkduck.com/Fan_Dan_Go/ It started off on DrunkDuck]; now [https://web.archive.org/web/20131219012851/http://www.fandangocomic.com/ it has its own site].

{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Rekki Lune is certainly this, though bordering on growing into a [[Lady of War]].
* [[Animesque]]: The style is clearly influenced by manga and anime, though with other influences mixed in.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Rekki mentions she can throw cars early in chapter one. She then actually does throw a car at the end of the chapter.
* [[Cool Sword]]: All the knight characters have their own distinctive swords, some of them quite unusual looking.
* [[Elegant Weapon for
* [[Failed a Spot Check]]: Rekki is aparently so bad at remembering people she didn't recognise the mooks who shot her partner less than an hour previously standing right in front of her.
* [[Face Palm]]: Subo when Rekki can't recognise the mook who shot him standing right in front of her.
Line 29 ⟶ 27:
* [[Hair Antennae]]: Juliet Ellis takes this trope and runs a marathon with it. Her hair antennae are huge!
* [[Healing Factor]]: It's a good job Subo has one of these, really, since he keeps trying and ''failing'' to resolve situations with armed mooks peacefully.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Rekki and Subo.
* [[Istanbul (Not Constantinople)]]: Lonchester, Anglise = Lancaster, England.
* [[Magic Knight]]: Rekki, Subo, Sarin, Zephyr, Fenn... they're whole point of the comic.
* [[Martial Pacifist]]: Subo has regenerative abilities and apparently can use magic well enough, but prefers to seek a peaceful solution... even though he's almost never taken up on it by the bad guys.
Line 38 ⟶ 36:
* [[Rule of Funny]]: Sometimes the characters are very capable, other times they take turns carrying the [[Idiot Ball]] for laughs.
* [[Schedule Slip]]: Happens from time to time. So far never for more than two consecutive updates (one week).
* [[Shipper
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Juliet Ellis in her introductory page.
* [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]: Rekki, in reaction to Sarin's shipping.

"I'm not embarrassed, by the way!" }}
* [[Technical Pacifist]]: Rekki seems to have an aversion to war and to killing rather than knocking out mooks, but also seems to relish a good brawl and carries a reputation from a previous war in which she reportedly killed many people, earning the nickname 'Red Devil'.
* [[Title Drop]]: Courtesy of villain Kendrick Fenn in the first chapter. 'Fan Dan Go' is the motto of the Knights of Anglise, three runes representing strength, honour and courage, as seen in the title logo.
* [[Tsurime Eyes]]: Rekki Lune, combined with eyebrows that almost always look angry, a twitchy posture and very dangerous looking hair.
* [[Unsound Effect]]: Most of the sound effects are rather quirky onomatapeia, but occasionally you get things like "Looooooooom", "Fling!" and "MANLY PUNCH!" for comic effect.
* [[Well
