Well, there's a difference between using Tropes for inspiration from time to time... and simply rattling them off to name-check as many as you can solely to appease the Tropers.
There's some useful stuff in there... I even specifically referenced the thing in a plot relevant manner. It's existence in a recogniseable manner in 2015 to a character familiar with it currently is a plot point (Though non obviously, I had to point it out to prereaders who thought I was being unsubtly twee).
I could've used any website for that... and I made a point not to actually name it outright because it's awkward and jarring. When you start namechecking Tropes, or overincluding them things start getting messy. I use the site to get ideas for how to do things, more than 'what' to do.

John Biles posted the final chapter of Children of an Elder God on the FFML (for those of us who are still subscribed...)
Anyways, the FFML archive of the post is here: <a href='http://www.chez-vrolet.net/pipermail/ffml/2010-August/002673.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.chez-vrolet.net/pipermail/ffml/...ust/002673.html</a>
And the old chapters are here: <a href='http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/eva/' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>http://www.thekeep.org/~rpm/eva/</a>
I haven't read it yet, busy with work. But it's John Biles

Unlike someone established and comfortable with himself like Carrotglance, Gregg's writing's still trying to find his optimum stride, and besides Walking in the Shadow of Dreams and Nobody Dies aren't even finished yet.
On top of that if you were paying attention Walking in the Shadow of Dreams is in the middle of a rewrite and it is a spin off of Nobody Dies so it only stands to reason there should be some overlap.
If you want to see what I mean about Gregg's improvement as a writer, read Father knows best and then compare that to ND.

totally agree with nobody dies on that point but given what I know of the the storyline for Walking in Shadow of Dreams and its rewrite they should be different but remember that their both Neon Genesis so of course their going to seem similar.
I like Walking in the Shadow more then Nobody dies.

Walking was similar to Nobody Dies well before the rewrite. The characterization is basically the same +10 years. Hell, ND!Rei is pre-rewritteWD!Rei, just at age 16. Your Happy Years characterization is flat out Nobody Dies, plus 5 years.
Shinji is a snarky "average guy", Asuka is the woobie, Rei is a raging (and on occasion, raping) nymphomaniac. If I were Gregg, there'd now be following half a dozen posts about how awesome, new, awesome, unique and awesome this spin on NGE characters is.
