The SMOCT, or Sailor Moon Original Character Tournament, is an OC tournament held every year on DeviantART (its last year was on 2013). It's gained an immense amount of popularity since its inception, and was one of the largest Sailor Moon events held on DeviantART. While it doesn't qualify as a true Web Comic, a good deal of the entries have some general plotline that the judges set and the participating artists (attempt) to follow. Not all of the comics can be considered canon, but some artists tend to follow the other competitors' comics more than others.

Tropes used in SMOCT include:

Action Girl: EVERY. SINGLE. FEMALE. CHARACTER. (Aside from a few, mostly the younger competitors).
Affably Evil: Some artists viewed the Mystery Judge in the Mini Tournament (SMOCT2) as this.
All There in the Manual: Pretty much everything you need to know about the SMOCT can be found in the various journal entries and the judges' profiles.
An Ice Person: Quite a few characters, most notably Sailors Arcturus, Rozaria, Silversnow, Arim, and more in the most recent tournament.
Asskicking Pose: Tends to happen a lot.
Creepy Child: Lady Doll
Dark Is Not Evil: Sailor Darkness and Sailor Libitina. Also, Sailor Nyx can be considered this, being the Soldier of the Night.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Silversnow, although the "defrosting" part is a bit questionable. Namida/Sailor Rozaria aslo counts.
Double Agent: Invoked, used, and subverted (!) by Sailor Meow.
Falling Chandelier of Doom: Used and subverted in Marie-Berry and Kennasaur's entry in SMOCT1
Genki Girl: Punalina/Sailor Calliope in SMOCT1 and Tierra in SMOCT2
Loads and Loads of Characters: Just look at the list of Taken Senshi names!
Mama Bear: Reikon/Sailor Daichi toward Kainashi/Cybele, especially since they're the only mother/daughter duo thus far in the tournament.
