#troped madness: championship round

[troped-fanfic-challenge]

And the winner is…

@probably-voldemort !!!

CONGRATULATIONS! You were an unstoppable force in this competition, writing everything from a Dancing Disaster (and reminding us why we all love Clurphy) to a Linctavia revengeful fantasy pet tale to demons in a cozy library (with a great new pairing of Jasper and Josephine) to dropping Annie and Finnick from The Hunger Games(!!!!) into The 100 Universe to see how they fare! That’s four (4!) fics and over 18k words during the weeks of this competition! You deserve the title of TROPED MADNESS CHAMPION! Congratulations!

Check out all the fics below:

'til our fingers decompose (keep my hand in yours)

QR/R1 | Rated T | The 100 | John Murphy x Clarke Griffin | 5.9k

Summary: Murphy's existence post-Disappearance was pretty bleak. Sure, he had his own bakery, and, yeah, he didn't have to worry about his mom's drinking anymore, or studying for math tests, but the fire that came from his hands had blistered and burned his skin beyond any repair that even the best training that any of the kids with babysitter first aid could do and had left them useless and constantly in pain. He couldn't do the baking for his store, or even wash his hair.

And then Clarke came to town!

karma is a cat (purring in my lap cause it loves me)

R2 | Rated T | The 100 | Lincoln kom Trikru | 3.7k

Summary: Once upon a time, Octavia would have been happy with getting a pet kitten from her brother for her birthday. Thrilled, even. But that was before a hydra attacked their apartment, and she and Bellamy were whisked away to a summer camp because apparently their dads were gods? Now, her pet aspirations were more along the lines of unicorns and chimeras and hyrdas. Cool, tough pets that a daughter of the God of War could ride into battle.

So the fact that her brother still bought her a fucking kitten? Well, who to better help with taking revenge on Bellamy than a son of Nemesis herself?

drank with the devil (and forgot my name)

R3 | Rated T | The 100 | Jasper Jordan & Josephine Lightborn | 3.3k

Summary: Summoning a demon was on purpose. Having the demon possess Clarke was an accident. But Josie swears she's only here to honour their deal, and, really, could Jasper have a better wingman than a demon?

soon it will be over (and buried with our past)

R4| Rated M | The Hunger Games | Finnick Odair x Annie Cresta | 5.4k

Summary: A technical malfunction of the Anomaly leaves Annie stranded in the Games for over three years instead of a month. Will she be able to find peace after the Games? Or will she lose herself to the will of the Capital?

All fics for Madness can be found here! Thanks for hanging out with us and happy writing! Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for info about Troped Timeloop, and a new Trope Exchange Event, coming soon!

World Class Coffee Finds A Home In The London Burbs At Kiss The Hippo

The London coffee market is crowded. This is as true now as it’s been for a decade, when an earlier generation of international coffee professionals put the city on the map as home to championship-caliber baristas and world-class coffee roasters. But here in 2020, if you’re going to stand out, you might start by stacking up the accolades. So it goes at Kiss The Hippo, an independent speciality coffee company opened in the summer of 2018 in Richmond, an affluent residential neighborhood in southwest London. Kiss The Hippo is home to both the 2018 and 2019 UK Barista Champions—Joshua Tarlo, who serves as Head of Coffee, and Paul Ross, who is the brand’s Wholesale Manager.

It took me nearly a year after their opening to visit Kiss The Hippo, not for lack of interest, but because I never quite found the time: when I say this cafe is in the suburbs, I mean deep in the suburbs. To give a sense of scale for readers outside the UK, a return trip to Richmond from central London to visit the cafe is roughly a half-day trip. It was a home brewing workshop led by Tarlo that finally lured me out, and immediately I wished I’d gone sooner. The spacious, bright, and welcoming space—spread over two floors with the coffee bar at the front, roastery at the back, and workshop room upstairs—ticks all the boxes. Over on the counter, you’ll see world-class equipment from industry leaders like La Marzocco, Victoria Arduino, and Mahlkönig. The brand identity—with its tongue in cheek name and trademark red hippo logo—is attractive and catchy, and their suburban location allowed Kiss The Hippo space to grow as a wholesale brand while also building a local customer base, without facing the fierce competition of central London coffee shops.

We don’t traffic much in raves on Sprudge, nor do we formally review or grade coffee shops. That said, the coffee I drank that day was the best filter I’ve tasted all year: a vibrant and aromatic natural Gesha from Finca Auromar in Panama, which just so happened to be Paul Ross’ 2019 barista competition-winning coffee. And that was enough to turn me into a Kiss The Hippo fan.

And so I kept going back. On several other visits to Kiss The Hippo, I tasted flat whites with their house blend George Street: big body, low acidity, and robust flavors meant to shine through milk. The beans used in this blend change each season, but currently are 50% Colombia (Los Vascos) and 50% Honduras (La Cumbre). Their other blend, The Donna, is a darker roast for those looking for something a little more traditional, but still sweet and without a roasted bitterness. A range of single-origin offerings rounds out the shop’s menu, with four sub-categories meant to make ordering simple for the general public: Mellow & Balanced, Vibrant & Bright, Unique & Interesting, and Rare & Acclaimed, which includes a number of Cup of Excellence winners.

These days it’s become a lot easier to drink Kiss The Hippo’s coffees on a visit to London, or for city-dwellers living in the urban core. In September of 2019 Kiss The Hippo opened a second coffee shop in the coffee-mad London neighborhood of Fitzrovia, taking over the former site of Curators Coffee Gallery, which has been featured previously on Sprudge. Kiss The Hippo undertook a subtle revamp of the space, focused on polished warm wood surfaces, warm spotlights, and shelves stocked up with coffee bags and accessories emblazoned with the brand’s popular logo (so popular, they were out of stock my last two visits). The cafe was packed both times I went there with people from nearby offices on a coffee break and freelancers working on their laptops in the quieter downstairs room.

Here you’ll find a smart breakfast menu (served from morning to early afternoon) from Chef Jenny Parker featuring dishes prepared with local and sustainable farmers’ produce, including a standout eggs benedict croissant. All the pastries and cakes are baked in-house—including their best selling white-chocolate-iced cinnamon roll.

Sustainability is a marketing buzzword trope in 2020, but Kiss The Hippo does more than most when it comes to backing up claims with actions. The brand supports a range of organizations working on projects to sustain coffee into the future, including World Coffee Research and Kew Gardens Coffee Research Program, home to one of the most advanced coffee research teams in the world. They are also long-term partners with Rainforest Trust UK, who works to protect threatened forests and wildlife worldwide, and Just a Drop Foundation, to help bring clean water to 228 students at Mwambui Secondary School in Kenya. At Kiss The Hippo all straws, cups, containers, and cutlery are compostable and the plastic used is recyclable. The roastery uses a Loring S15, one of the most environmentally friendly machines on the market, burning approximately 80% less fuel than traditional methods. Kiss The Hippo is also in the process of being able to roast coffees carbon neutral by January 2020, which would make them the first speciality coffee company roasting carbon neutral in the UK.

It’s really hard not to like what’s happening, and as London’s status as one of the centers of the coffee world grows into a multi-generational legacy, it feels all the more vibrant thanks to young new brands like Kiss The Hippo. No matter where you live in the world—whether it’s a tube ride from Shoreditch or an all-night flight from Seattle—if you love coffee, you should go here.

Kiss the Hippo has multiple locations in London. Visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

Championship Round!!

It’s officially time to VOTE in the FINAL Round of TROPED Madness 4.0! The structure is simple! Our two remaining writers are going head-to-head, and it’s your job to chose who will be CHOPPED, and who will be our new MADNESS CHAMPION! For the bracket, please select the one (1) fic that best used the prompt {Romantic Tragedy + The 100 AU + Secret Lovers}!

You can vote here:

The two fics that we received for this round can be found below, or on AO3 here! Each fic follows the theme [Romantic Tragedy], includes the tropes [The 100 AU] and [Secret Lovers], and we have not included a Focus Character this round due to the nature of the prompt! When you vote, please be sure to take into consideration the USE of all these elements, because, as with all other TROPED events, the purpose is to select the authors who best utilize the requirements!

————————

soon it will be over (and buried with our past) (Rated M) [The Hunger Games — Annie Cresta x Finnick Odair]

Summary: A technical malfunction of the Anomaly leaves Annie stranded in the Games for over three years instead of a month.

Baby you're just harder to see than most (Rated T) [Maze Runner — Newt x Thomas]

Summary: 97 years ago the world ended. Not in a rain of fire as was foretold, but instead, in a rain of blood. As The Flare devoured Earth, so did WCKD rise.

Thomas has dedicated his life to The Mission - monitor Earth for signs of survivability, prepare the residents of the WCKD space station for re-entry, and ensure humanity's survival. It’s an important mission. It's one he can't do with any distractions.

Which is a problem when someone he's not supposed to love steps back into his life and turns everything he knows on its head.

TROPED MADNESS 4.0: CHOPPING BLOCK

Two fics were written following a Theme of [Romantic Tragedy], and including the Tropes of [The 100 AU] and [Secret Lovers]!! Voting determined which author would be named our TROPED MADNESS CHAMPION! Two (2) heart-wrenching fics this round, but, unfortunately, only one author can survive to the end!

A huge congratulation to our Runner Up, our final author on the Chopping Block!! This author has wowed us all and blown through these rounds with style!! A Snowy Clurphy disaster fic to a fantastic Linctavia first pet fic (with DRAGONS!!), a super cute and cozy demon fic, and even bringing The Maze Runner into The 100!! We were thrilled to have you writing for us, and we hope you'll be back to write with us again soon!

We want to say a big thank you so much to all the authors who participated, we are so happy you decided to be a part of TROPED Madness 4.0, and we hope you’ll join us again for more events in the future!! Information about our future events (Timeloops anyone?) can be found here, at @troped-fanfic-challenge!!

The Author who has been Chopped is:

@slyth-princess!

Always Been the End of the World

QR/R1 | Rated T | The 100 | John Murphy x Clarke Griffin | 5.9k

Summary: Clarke's day is turning out to be a disaster. If stubbing her toe and her shitty roommate, she also has to deal with John Murphy, the bane of her existence. Even though she loves working at this bakery his mere presence makes that harder with each day. But with a major order, for her childhood best friend's wedding no less, she can't let him distract her. Nothing he does is going to get under her skin today.

Unfortunately, it seems, Mother Nature has other plans.

Although, just maybe, her day doesn't end up being quite as much of a disaster as she thought.

These golden ashes (turn to dirt)

R2 | Rated T | The 100 | Lincoln kom Trikru x Octavia Blake | 5.9k

Summary: In the Kingdom of Arkadia to be born with Magic is a death sentence. For this reason, when Aurora Blake gives birth to a daughter of fire, she makes the choice to hide her away. But those that burn cannot be contained for long.

When Octavia has had enough, she runs to the forbidden Wood. It is here she meets her destiny. And, in doing so, makes her plan for something she has dreamed of most of her life.

Revenge

Cauldrons and Crows and Chocolate Cake

R3 | Rated G | The 100 | Jasper Jordan x Maya Vie | 5.8k

Summary: Jasper Jordan is fully aware that, as far as demons go, he is not particularly good at being one. With no taste for violence or revenge, the closest he comes to doing anything most consider demonic is either accidental or a prank. Which is why, when Bellamy Blake tells him he has been summoned by a powerful witch to help her with something he nearly falls out of his seat.

When he gets to her bookshop, however, he is pleasantly surprised by what she asks of him. And even more presently surprised by the company she keeps.

Baby you're just harder to see than most

R4 | Rated T | The Maze Runner | Thomas x Newt | 5.9k

Summary: 97 years ago the world ended. Not in a rain of fire as was foretold, but instead, in a rain of blood. As The Flare devoured Earth, so did WCKD rise.

Thomas has dedicated his life to The Mission - monitor Earth for signs of survivability, prepare the residents of the WCKD space station for re-entry, and ensure humanity's survival. It’s an important mission. It's one he can't do with any distractions.

Which is a problem when someone he's not supposed to love steps back into his life and turns everything he knows on its head.

A huge thanks and congratulations to our second place finalist!!!! The TROPED Madness Champion will be revealed in the next post!

All fics for Madness can be found here! Thanks for hanging out with us and happy writing! Don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for info about Troped Timeloop, and a new Trope Exchange Event, coming soon!

But don’t be discouraged if you were Chopped this round (or unable to participate)!

We’d love to read your fics and will always share them on our tumblr!

The non-anon collection can be found here! To submit your fic to the collection, simply enter ‘TROPED_Non_Anonymous’ as the name of the collection when uploading your fic!!!

Non-Anon AO3 Collection Link: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/TROPED_Non_Anonymous

To the two (2!) remaining Madness Authors, we hope you’re excited for the FINAL ROUND, which will contain something totally unexpected for this The 100 event!!!! It starts TONIGHT, 12:01am (EST) April 16th!! Please be sure to check our google doc for theme and trope explanations then! Good luck!

Chopped: Choose Your Own Adventure

In this version of TROPED, you make all the big decisions! What theme you want and what four tropes you choose are entirely up to you (though, you do have to choose off our list that we provide... sorry lol)! Choose a theme and four tropes from our list and write us the fic of your dreams!

Chopped Madness 1.0

Anonymous writers going head to head for the title of CHOPPED! CHAMPION!! Think March Madness, but with fanfic!!

Chopped Choice: Smut

Chopped Choice was such an awesome event, so we've come up with a few variations on the concept, and we'd like to start it off with Chopped: After the Kitchens Close, a Chopped Smut event!! This event is the same as Chopped Choice! You pick the theme, you pick the tropes, and write us the fic of your dreams, except, this time, make it smutty!!

Chopped 3.0

The Chopped Challenge will follow the same structure as the two previous rounds of Chopped, with three (3) qualifying rounds open to anyone and one (1) championship round. The first three rounds will each have a theme, and a ‘mystery basket’ of four (4) tropes pulled from our trope list!

Chopped: Choice Horror 1.0

The FIRST annual choose your own horror fic event! Spooky, scary, slasher fics, ghost stories, fall feels, you name it, we wanna see it!

TROPED: Holiday Trope Exchange 2.0

Welcome to our SECOND Chopped: Holiday Trope Exchange fic swap! If you're joining us for the first time this year, this is a double blind gift exchange for The 100 fandom where the recipient selects four tropes from our list, and their writer creates a fic with those four tropes fitting out holiday theme!

The TROPED Events Masterlist | All the Tropes!

You can find all the fics that have been written for past TROPED events in our Master AO3 Collection! And you can find all the definitions and guidelines for each event in our All the Tropes! post.

TROPED: FAQ + TROPED: Rules!

Since the rules for our challenges are all pretty much the same, we’ve created a rules masterpost! Any changes, additions, or event specific rules will be shared when the event occurs, and we will link the rules for all our events!
