Once Upon a Time: Difference between revisions

Now, are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin. Once upon a time...<ref>Once upon a time there was a boy who decided to stay up late and read [[All The Tropes]]. Even though his parents had warned him that doing this was a bad thing, still he was compelled to do so. So, the lights of the screen illuminating his face, he carefully surfed the site, reading trope descriptions and examples, going over works pages and forum threads, until finally he looked at the clock and realized it was well past the reasonable amount of time one would surf the web. And then the boy knew his parents were right -- that by surfing All The Tropes, he had [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|ruined his life]] in such a way that he could now never go sleep. He was cursed to forever surf All The Tropes, haunting the YKTTW, quietly drifting from page to page like a ghost in the machine; until one day, he met someone else who had been similarly trapped. Together, they decided that perhaps this wasn't such a lonely place to be stuck. And so they lived and troped [[Happily Ever After]].</ref>
