# TVTropes Shopping List

Ok, so we all should know that [TVTropes](http://tvtropes.org/) is just a huge shopping mall for writers to pick ingredients for their stories. You still need to chop them, mix and cook in a good order, stirring, but there are few things not catalogued there (hackerspace movement being one of them). Here's a list of tropes useful / inspiring for this story:

## Time
