Line 9:

=== General Tropes: ===
* [[April Fools' Day]]: It's an annual tradition to do a gag page on April 1. The Eleventh Doctor's first "offical" ComixBlog appearance was an [[Early Bird Cameo]] in [http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=589 one of these episodes], as a matter of fact.
* [[Beethoven Was an Alien Spy]]:
** ''The Stalker Of Norfolk'': The circumstances surrounding {{spoiler|the death of Amye Robsart}}.
Line 26:
** [[In Universe]]: At the beginning of ''Forever Janette'', we see Tracy Vetter as a regular policewoman who hasn't made detective yet. The Eighth Doctor uses his psychic paper on her to gain access to the crime scene she's guarding.
* [[Fan Verse]]: All of the ''Doctor Who'' comics ([[Shrug of God|possibly]] with the exception of ''[[Guest Strip|Seeds of Destruction]]'') take place in the same continuity as ''The 10 Doctors''.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Frequently crops up in the standard ''Doctor Who'' fashion. In ''Outrage'', Six reveals Jem's secret identity to Rio; in ''Seeds of Destruction'', Five lands on the dangerous planet {{spoiler|Kryn}} instead of in Pasadena; and in ''A Time To Kill'', Ten completely shatters [[James Bond]]'s cover.
* [[Original Character]]:
** Corporal Beverly Powell, a UNIT historian, becomes the Third Doctor's companion in ''Stalker''.
Line 42:
* [[Have We Met Yet]]: The Fifth Doctor and Nyssa<ref>* (between [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S19 E7 Time-Flight|"Time-Flight"]] and [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S20 E1 Arc of Infinity|"Arc Of Infinity"]])</ref> run into the Master.<ref>* (post-[[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S26 E4 Survival|"Survival"]], pre-[[Doctor Who (TV)/TVM the TV Movie/Recap|TV Movie]])</ref> The following exchange occurs:
{{quote| '''Five''': So, you managed to escape from Xeraphas, did--<br />
'''The Master''': Oh, stop. [[Doctor Who (TV)/Recap/S20 E6 The Kings Demons|We've had this conversation before]], Doctor. [[Timey -Wimey Ball|We're off-phase this time.]] }}
* [[In Medias Res]]: The story starts out with the Eighth Doctor investigating a mystery in 1995 Toronto, then [[Flash Back|flashes back]] to the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa in 1348 France. The narrative goes back and forth after that.
* [[Red Herring]]: Nicholas Knight is investigating doll-sized human corpses when the Eighth Doctor shows up on the scene. Seasoned Whovians immediately suspect that the Master is killing people with his tissue compression eliminator again. Except it isn't him this time.
Line 50:
'''Janette''': Forever. }}
* [[Translation Convention]]/[[Translator Microbes]]: Played with on [http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=314 this page.] Upon encountering the TARDIS in the woods, LaCroix sees its signage in Latin, Janette sees it in French, and Nicholas sees it in Dutch.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Expressed by Nick, natch. Also lampshaded by Eight when he talks to Janette at the end of the story, when he points out that she's seeking "an alternative to the crushing boredom of eternity".
 
 
Line 76:
* [[Enemy Mine]]: {{spoiler|The Misfits team up with the Holograms and the Doctor to stop Techrat.}}
* [[Friend to All Children]]: The Sixth Doctor, to Mel's surprise. He mends Ashley's foot, does a magic trick to cheer her up, and is generally very kind to her throughout the process.
* [[Fully -Absorbed Finale]]: It's a fan crossover work, so it doesn't really count as canon (obviously), but ''Outrage'' pretty much serves as an unofficial series finale for ''[[Jem]]''. To wit: {{spoiler|Rio '''finally''' discovers Jerrica's double life, everyone finds out the truth about Jerrica's father and Synergy, the villains behind Eric Raymond's [[Jerkass|Jerkassery]] are discovered and defeated, Techrat [[Sequel Hook|regenerates and disappears]], Rio proposes to Jerrica, and Jerrica decides to reveal her dual identity as Jem to the world}}.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Stormer, because of her feelings for Kimber.}}
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]: The Misfits originally thought the Doctor was a recording executive who was offering the Holograms a contract. {{spoiler|They find out the truth when the fake Eric Raymond has enough of Pizzazz's attitude, tells her off, and reveals his true form to everyone.}}
Line 87:
{{quote| '''Mel''': Oh, I'm not worried. I know you've got a plan.<br />
'''Six''': Well, I did. But it rather depended on a distinct absence of certain bouffant-haired pop stars. }}
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Rich didn't follow up on Ashley's role in the story, even though she was there when {{spoiler|Jerrica finally reveals that she's Jem}}.
** He also doesn't follow up on the Stingers, who will be coming home from tour to find themselves {{spoiler|without a recording studio and business partner.}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Mel to Six, after he reveals Jerrica's secret to Rio.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: The Doctor wants to know what kind of a name "Stormer" is. Stormer wants to know what kind of a name "Doctor" is. The Doctor abandons the point.
* [[Word of God]]: ''Jem'' creator Christy Marx left a friendly (albeit brief) message in the comments section on [http://comics.shipsinker.com/?id=480 page 3.]
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: With the Doctor's TARDIS within his reach, and Synergy's power source in hand, {{spoiler|Techrat remotely gasses the Zygons. Then, when the Zygons try to escape, Stingers Sound goes kablooey—-Techrat had rigged it to explode if the Zygons attempted to leave Earth without him}}.
Line 147:
 
== ''Storybored'' (with Dominic Marco) ==
* [[Self -Insert Fic]]: Rich and Dom are the two main characters.
 
== ''The Fairies of Cottondale Wood'' (with Jennifer Morris) ==
