My New Addiction

Recently I've been spending most my freetime on a little website called tvtropes.org. As a pop-culture enthusiast and a writer; I find reading about the literary techniques I've been exposed to as long as I've been able to expose media extremely interesting. The pages are written with readability in mind, and often have a sense of humor to their tone. My favorite part is that you can search up a peice of fiction and it'll list off all of the tropes it exhibits, even hyperlinking to definitions pages if you don't understand what a Thanatos Gambit is. I suggest you check it out if you're a fan of plot techniques and pop-culture.
