Gen Duruk
 | This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. Trope entries are from three separate fanfics that need their own pages. |
Gen Duruk is an author of Death Note parody Fics on Fanfiction.net.
His fanfictions include:
- The Human Whose Name Is Written in This Fanfiction: Every chapter another Death Note - Fanfic cliche gets mocked. An overachieving story arc develops, too.
- How to Write Amazingly Popular Fanfiction: A "How NOT to" guide to Death Note Fanfiction
- Light Yagami's Adventures in Fandom Land : A Fairy Tale-esque story about Light`s "quest to explore the strange world of fandom complete with painful puns." Light find himself in a strange land, in which there are several "areas" [1] all representing a genre of Fanfic. With these come handy tips about Fics.
He seems to know troping quite well (he uses trope names on a few occasions) and is also aware of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" being on the Fanfic recommodation page for Death Note.
Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be active anymore.
His page can be found here.
Gen Duruk provides examples of the following tropes:
- Abusive Parents: Raven has an alcoholic, abusive father. Of course, since she is a parody of the Tragic Sue.
- Alternate Universe Fic: Parodied in "How To Write Amazingly Popular Fanfiction" and "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
- A Wizard Did It: In "How To Write Amazingly Popular Fanfiction" this is an option in "Step F- Choose a plot hole"
- An Aesop: Every part of "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land" has its own tip/aesop. In the end they get summed up by: "Remember the most important rule when traveling in fandom land: stay true to reality."
- Anvilicious: Gen Duruk seems to get a little overexited from time to time, especially in the last chapter of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" in which Light states: " It ( The Canon Cannon ) banishes all original characters because here's the funny truth: they're all Sues. Even if they aren't perfect or even the love interest, they are inserted as plot aids or conflicts and that still makes a Sue."
- Big Bad: Bai in "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction", Matt in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
- Bastard Boyfriend: Light in chapter 4 of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction"
- Crack Fic: an "area" in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land", a really bizarre one, too: "Raye Penber appeared to have formed a disco band below and a crowd of people had gathered to dance. Roger Ruvie walked in surrounded by scantily clad women, avoiding the tussle between Kiyome Takada and what appeared to be Scooby Doo over a pile of pancakes. Naomi Misora was giving seductive glances towards Thomas Jefferson who stood alone in a corner."
- Costume Porn: Parodied (of course): "She was dressed in an outfit most would define as 'skanky' but L seemed incapable of not describing in painful detail. In fact, she appeared to be wearing so many clothes at the same time it was a wonder that her perfectly toned voluptuous frame could hold it up."
- Dark Fic: Chapter 3 and 7 of "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction", also an "area" in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
- Dangerously Genre Savvy: The Sues
- Department of Redundancy Department: "All the Death Note characters were in a miz. They were all really down. Everyone was pretty severely bummed about life. Man, where they sad."
- Fairy Tale: "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
- Glamour: The Sues have this power: "The moment she opened her mouth Beyond Birthday felt a strange numbness in his brain, a dulling of his senses. He could only see her and painfully describe her physical attributes."
- In Which a Trope Is Described: The headlines in "The Human Whose Name Is Written In This Fanfiction" [2].
- Lemony Narrator: Definetly.
- Mills and Boon Prose: "The scene will then disintegrate to a very vague description of sex that with few words changed could just as easily be a drug trip. There is a high probability that only the parts you didn't want to hear about will be described in detail."
- Mister Seahorse: Parodied in chapter 12 of THWNIWITFF
- No Fourth Wall
- Only Sane Man: Light often fulfills this role.
- Parody Sue: Yumi Toyota NintendoSushi-Fuji, Raven Phoenix Jade Cooper Brooklyn Mickenzie and Lucinda Siren Dusk Shadow Hikari Athena Winter
- Rape as Backstory: Raven again
- Slash Fic: Parodied, of course.
- Screw Yourself: In chapter 9 of THWNIWITFF: Kira wants to rape Light. Fortunately The voice of reason intervenes and points out what little sense that makes.
- Song Fic: The author doesn`t seem to like them.
- Troll Fic: An "area" in "Light Yagami`s Adventures in Fandom Land"
- Victim Falls For Rapist: Lampshaded by Light:
 |
"Have you gone insane? Aren't you supposed to be smart? I raped you! You don't love me, you hate my guts! Why would I love you?" Light shrieked, throwing his hands up into the air. |
