[troped-fanfic-challenge]

We’re back, witches! It’s time to get ready for TROPED’s fourth annual Halloween Fanfic Challenge and the first Horror Trope Exchange! For this dual event of our TROPED: The Fanfic Writing Challenge, you can select the tropes you want to write and create the horror fic of your dreams or you can have someone else create a horror fic for you and you will write one for someone else (or you can do both, if you're feeling particularly daring)!!

How It Works: TROPED Choice Horror!

The first part of the event will be structured the same as previous Choice Events: tropes and theme list will be released, three weeks to write, three (3) days to vote; one quick round, done and done!

It’s a Multifandom Event! Write from any fandom you’d like! All Fandoms are welcome and there is no minimum participation required for this event! And no sign-ups necessary!

Choose a Theme for your fic from our list of Horror-centric themes! Ghost stories, urban legends, slasher fics, or mystery thrillers, you name it, we wanna see it! But, if Horror isn’t your thing, these fics do not have to be scary (“horror” just sounds better than “halloween”)! Any and all Halloween-themed fics are also welcome here! While we are definitely encouraging scary, spooky, horror style fics, any fic with a general Halloween theme that follows our guidelines and tropes would work great, from a slasher flick inspired horror fic to a soft and fluffy trick-o’-treating kid fic!

Choose four (4) Tropes for your fic from our list of tropes! (You can, of course, choose more than four, but only the first four tropes you list will be included for voting). For this challenge, at least one of your four tropes must be a ‘Horror’ trope, which are in a separate list from the other tropes.

Write your fic in 10,000 words or less! You will upload your fic anonymously to the AO3 Collection linked below. Make sure you put what your theme is and what tropes you used in your fic summary, or in the notes at the TOP of your fic, so we can keep our eyes peeled for them as we read them! (If you are worried the tropes/themes will spoil your fic, you may put them in the notes at the bottom, but please let us know at the top if you choose to do so, and be sure that all of your tropes and themes are in the same place!)

This event will be Optionally Anonymous! Because we want this event to be much more chill, and the writing period will be open for the month, we will not require this event to be anonymous! However, if you would like to have your fic be anonymous, we will be sharing a small tutorial on how to make your fics anonymous and how to remove them from being anonymous sometime soon, so keep your eyes peeled!

Read and Review! Once you’ve submitted your own fic, take a look at the others in the competition! Please try to read as many as you can! Take some notes, leave some kudos/comments for the authors, and help us vote on the winners! This is not a requirement for participation, but it is highly encouraged and helps make TROPED build a strong community!

Community Voting! The voting for this event will be pretty simple! We will keep a list of all fics submitted for each event, and then at the end there will be a voting poll! Voting will be based on the use of your chosen theme, your combined use of all four chosen tropes, the combined use of your theme + your tropes, and bonus polls, most unique pairing (which will count for both platonic and romantic pairings), best scary story, and best use of Halloween! The voting will be based on the fics as a whole, and will include all fandoms together! If you do not want your fic included in the voting, you can let us know, or you can simply upload your fic to our non-anon collection instead! We will still share it along with the other fics and it will be included in all masterlists! We will provide a link when voting begins.

How It Works: TROPED Horror Trope Exchange!

The second part of this event, TROPED: Horror Trope Exchange, is a double blind fanfic exchange, meaning you won’t know who you’re writing for, or who is writing for you! Here’s how it works:

It’s a The 100 Fandom Exchange Only!

Take a look at our Horror Trope list and pick four (4) tropes that you’d like to be included in your gift!! Remember, this event is double blind!! This is to help preserve that truly quintessential TROPED experience, where any writer can take the tropes and make something unique and surprising! Because of this, you wont be able to reach out to your recipient for any more info, and that means what you give your writer is all they have to go on, so try to be clear! If there is something you really want, or really don’t want, make sure to tell them during this stage of the exchange!

Sign Up & Keep Your Ask Box Open! After the sign-up period is over, we will match up all the assignments as best we can, and then we will deliver them to your ask box before the writing period begins! Please be sure to have your ask box open, and please be sure not to post the ask you receive, so it can be kept anonymous.

Write your fic! You will have about three weeks to write a fic that includes you given tropes, and fits into our holiday theme. You will upload your fic to the AO3 Collection linked below. Make sure you put what tropes you were assigned in your fic summary, or in the notes at the TOP of your fic, so we can keep our eyes peeled for them as we read them! (If you are worried the tropes will spoil your fic, you may put them in the notes at the bottom, but please let us know at the top if you choose to do so, and be sure that all of your tropes are in the same place!)

Upload your fic to the TROPED Horror Trope Exchange AO3 Collection only! Fics are due on Monday, October 30th at 12:00pm EST!!! Please be sure to have them in on time, because we will be reviewing them to make sure all your tropes are included! This AO3 collection is unrevealed, which means once your fic is submitted, you won’t be able to see it until we reveal them! If you’re worried about whether we received it or not, you can always DM us to ask!

Happy Halloween! Sit back and relax, we will reveal all the fics on Tuesday, October 31st!!!

hiii pookie !!! the months have been going by too fast, like wdym its already may??? wdym I'm seeing taylor in 2 months??? wdym I turn 18 ten days after I go to the tour??? anyways (I fear I'm losing it)

how have you been?? how's everything?? I hope everything is less stressful at the moment!

also I swear I'll try to catch up with mag soon 🙏🙏 (me try to catch up with mag challenge (impossible) ) I've just been too obsessed with twd/twdg, succession and 911 currently, and stardew valley (i suck balls at the game, haley loml tho)😭 but after I've finished succession and some seasons of twd I'll probably start the 100 🙏

hello love 🥰 that’s so crazy! i hope you have the best time and take lots of pics and videos and sing your little heart out 🫶 as for me, i’m managing, i guess. still obsessed w my hair color lol but school stuff is dangerously close to plateauing due to the fact that my observations are done but i don’t have recommendation letters so im worried i wont make it this time and will have to wait another year. also got interesting news from my doctor that’ll require extra tests (he thinks it’s probably nothing) 🤷‍♀️ it’s all barreling towards apathy, yknow

anyways, enough brain dump (my sisters out of town for the week so it’s all been sitting in my head) i’m trynna get writing again so i have like 5 started projects (like 3 bellamy and 2 matt) that are going no where and im trying to get wcs2 going so i can just tie a ribbon on the mag universe for a little while (probably gonna do a little 2pt black widow movie plot w her too) but everything just feels like it takes so much energy 😭😭 but i have a concert next week so that’ll be fun

oh, but i finished a couple books! and i’m done w s2 of the t100. bellamy brainrot grows everyday so be ready for that. and how are you? 🫶🫶

After one day of delay we finally got the results. Setsuna's T100 title is safely home, despite all the troubles that I had this last few days (I'll tell you in a future post 👀). Got the event Natsumi UR literally last minute too! Next event is the Niji star challenge with event Karin and banner Setsu/Ai. I'm not gonna scout in said banner (I'm on the hunt for Bday Nico 😅).

The Role of a Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) in Data Communications

What

A Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) is a chip that contains photonic components with photons passing through optical components such as waveguides, lasers, polarisers, and phase shifters. It not only performs all the tasks of the existing ICs with more precision and efficiency but has added functionality too, making it the ideal choice of manufacturers.

Why

PIC is becoming the preferred technology for data communications, Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) solutions for autonomous driving, sensing for aerospace and aeronautics, and more applicability with technological advancement in today’s photonics era.

PICs offer advantages such as miniaturisation, higher speed, low thermal effects, large integration capacity, and compatibility with existing processing flows that allow for high yield, volume manufacturing, and lower prices

IC and PIC

Without IC chips, it would not be possible to easily communicate over long distances and freely disseminate large amounts of information.

IC chips consist of billions of transistors for storing and processing of data, where electrical signals are used to operate them. A PIC does not rely on electrons for the operation of the circuit but uses photons which do not experience resistance in the same way that electrons do. This is beneficial for long-distance communications, where sending data via electrical means is not practical due to the resistance in the conductive material. The use of light to transmit and receive data has revolutionised the communications industry which is developing products for higher data transmission rates.

Fabrication

Ever since the IT revolution of the 80’s, the existing infrastructure evolved suiting IC manufacturing which is silicon-based. Creating a new infrastructure to suit the manufacture of PICs is time-consuming with associated cost. With more innovation, PICs capable of being manufactured in IC manufacturing infrastructure are being created, overcoming challenges such as differential heating.

PICs are fabricated using wafer-scale technology (involving lithography) on substrates (often called chips) of silicon, silica, or a nonlinear crystal material such as LiNbO3.

Testing

Testing represents most of the cost of a PIC with its outputs being consumed in all life cycle stages — from design and development, and qualification to validation and production.

MELSS brings you Test and Measurement (T&M) hardware and software solutions from market leaders EXFO, which are automated, scalable, fast, accurate and cost-optimised. These T&M solutions range from those for Passive and Active components as well as automated probe stations for wafer and single-die testing. These solutions include some of the most advanced T&M equipment such as the T200S, T500S, CTP10, CT440, OSICS T100, FTBx-2850 and OSA20.

if the morning light sets in, we've cheated fate again 

a Bellarke, Westernized Canon version of “I Am Become Death” for @troped-fanfic-challenge Choice 4.0: Western | WC: 10.3k | Rated: T]

Tropes: (1) Ghost Town/Outlaw Town (2) Protectiveness (3) Bandits (4) Found Family

The wild west is unforgiving. Bellamy Blake and his sister are on the run with a bounty on their heads, and that’s just the beginning. They stumble upon a town that’s on the verge of ruin, plagued by a mysterious illness and only populated by other teenagers. With help from both Blake siblings, the town’s leader is hopeful that they can help discover the root of what’s going. And maybe Clarke Griffin will in turn help Bellamy discover more about himself along the way.

was arguing with a clorke stan on twitter about how it makes no sense to stan someone who committed genocide so instead of acknowledging my point she goes “wHo Do YoU sTaN?” so i said raven & memori and the bitch says “that explains everything bye” like wtf is that supposed to mean? bc i stan characters that aren’t mass murderers? make it make sense

[terrifyingstories1]

no offense but luisa’s performance as emori is so compelling she brings so much life to the show she and emori are so underrated and i love them SO much

[troped-fanfic-challenge]

[laufire]

both certain things in s6 and some of the speculation for s7 feels like “X was critiziced by a loud fandom group so we’re addressing it now even if the criticism was biased af and it means writing in circles or obfuscating our own characterization” and. i don’t want these xD

“Emori and Nelson...the outcast and rejected children at different parts of their journeys to heal their pain.  I think deep down Emori will always have a little girl inside who desperately wants parents, a home, and a place in the world. And that's okay. It's a part of her...but she's grown immensely and it doesn't rule her world like it did before she set eyes on a brooding, lonely boy in the desert. If you weren't born into a safe and loving home, these stories are for you and I hope we did your own story justice. Next time you see a homeless kid on the street...that's the real world version of these two. They've probably been through a lot of trauma and neglect and could use some love and support.”

[loveisaviolence3]

can’t emphasize enough how it important that is that clarke is becoming less and less passive, even if just in her interactions with murphy once he’s pushed her to the breaking point. for so long clarke has been so passive – keeping to herself, gritting her teeth through the pain of her friends’ condemnation and anger but ultimately remaining silent and only breaking that silence to make apologies that can’t possibly remedy the damage she’s done (not for lack of sincerity, but because words can only amount to so much.) i don’t believe for a second that anyone believes clarke isn’t remorseful for what she’s done, not really. a lack of remorse isn’t the problem. 

the problem is that despite the guilt she may feel, clarke is stuck in a cycle she doesn’t know how to break. she keeps hurting the people she cares for, keeps taking it upon herself to make these decisions without consulting the people they may effect (i don’t blame her for this. clarke has been on her own for six years – operating alone is all she knows at this point. she wasn’t with the others in space, she doesn’t have the exposure to making decisions as a team that they do. but that doesn’t mean the others aren’t justified in their anger, in resenting clarke for every time she’s taken their choices away from them with hers.) clarke may be ~the head, but she frequently acts and reacts out of desperation. she needs to learn how to communicate with and trust others, to find a way to keep from repeating past mistakes. this is what her arc in s6 is all about. clarke’s loved ones need to know that her guilt and desire to make up for past mistakes is going to inform better decisions – because if not, why would they trust her? why should they?

we’ve seen a lot of clarke apologizing – and so have her loved ones. apologies aren’t going to cut it. these past few episodes contain some of the first glimpses of clarke breaking out of her sadness and remorse and self loathing, and that’s so important! these outbursts are so good!!! this silent i hate myself i’m cursed i will never be anything other than this horrible cancer that infects the people i care about mindset is not helpful. it doesn’t restore her friends’ faith in her or her faith in herself to heal rather than hurt. clarke gets trapped in this hopeless mindset so often, and she needs to be snapped out of it. we see it in season 2 with raven and octavia – each of them demand that she step up and do better, and yeah, it’s harsh and we hurt for her because we know it stings and know in our hearts that clarke is good and wants to do good, but ultimately it’s necessary. and clarke does step up. she figures out a way. she marches into that mountain.  

the fact that clarke is lashing out and standing up for herself means that she’s going to move forward – that she’s going to be an active participant in her own redemption and healing, and that’s great. these hard conversations may be difficult to watch, but they’re important for clarke and her journey forward (and likely for the other characters as well, who maybe are running from their own guilt and self loathing and need the confrontation as much as she does.)
