Dear TV Tropes

TV Tropes, your site is wonderfully interesting. Somehow you often manage to take what was meant to be quickly looking at one thing, and turning it into hours of clicking on links to other articles and reading more things that lead you to other articles, and so on. Sometimes you can even be better at this than Wikipedia.

The best part is that you have way more than just stuff from television as your name might imply. You have a vast archive of things from video games, literature, tabletop games, and probably plenty of other things too. I'm not really sure if you have an actual purpose other than just entertaining reading, and honestly most of the stuff I read on your site is about things that I already have a basic understanding of what they are and why they are a common occurring, but somehow you still make it incredibly interesting.

Like today, when I was on my computer, thinking of who I wanted to write a letter to, I ended up getting linked to an article on your site. Then, suddenly, it was like half an hour later and I had read like a dozen or more pages and hadn't actually accomplished anything.

Thank you for being there, and being so interesting.
