Library of the Damned was a website dedicated to riffing bad fanfiction. It was founded in 2011 by "Lyle", and quickly gained the aid of fellow riffers Ghostcat (AKA Ghostie), Taco Magic, Frozen Poodle Meat, Addicted Reader, and Psychic Librarian. As time passed, Frozen Poodle Meat and Psychic Librarian had to depart due to real life reasons, and AR left, came back, and seemingly left once more. "Lyle", Ghostcat, and Taco Magic had all remained full-time members of the staff, and four new permanent additions, Herr Wozzeck, Erttheking, SC, and Admiral Sakai had hopped onboard, although Erttheking went on extended hiatus before officially retiring in 2021 along with Herr Wozzeck. In 2018, former guest-riffer Batjamags joined the snark crew.There was also a robust cast of infrequent guest riffers: Angie, agigabyte, Kitty Noodles, Delta XIII, Crazy Minh, Zeus Killer Productions, and Elysium16. The Library had riffed such infamous fanfics as Its My Life, Forbiden Fruit: The Tempation of Edward Cullen and My Immortal, and had blown past two thousand five hundred posts by 2022, when it closed down.Each full-time Librarian released a riff on their assigned day of the week, Monday through Saturday, though the schedule remained flexible to account for those pesky real life matters. Sundays were reserved for guest-snarkers, posted on a first-come, first-served basis. In lieu of a guest riff, the Librarians would occasionally post fan art or a special spotlight for good fanfiction on Sundays.Between October 2021 and December 2021, the Library went on a abrupt hiatus, with no new riffs posted for more than two months. Batjamags and Admiral Sakai attempted to continue posting on a limited basis until March 2022. After over six months of absolute silence, it was unfortunately made clear by riffer SC that the Library was no longer an active project. While SC made it clear that there was a possibility that the site could make a comeback, he was clear that the Library was most likely closed as of September 30th 2022.The site remains open and visible, but whether or not new content will be posted is unknown. However, several Librarians and Patrons have participated in a new, similar site, the Asylum.

Hammerspace: Teh Specs has a storage pocket inside his own mind where he stores all the swords he collects. This has the drawback of decreasing his intellect with each new sword, though. Shades can summon guns out of thin air, so long as she knows what they are and that they exist somewhere. Swenia keeps several weapons in her blouse.

Costume Porn: Occurs in more than a few stories, but Shepard's dress-slash-armor from "X-Com: Mass Effect" was probably one of the worst offenders: A dress worn over a suit of armor that's somehow made of ''alloy, micro generators and shield generators''. Ridiculously impossible armor design seems to be a recurring theme in Library stories, from the "custom power/leather armor mesh" of "United under two skies" to the vacuum-sealed, adamantium hoodie from "Captain Rapist’s Half-Assed Adventure" (A.K.A. "Trapped").

 Library Of The Damned (Website) / int_75538142
comment
Friend to All Children: Rimura takes the protection of children very seriously—he kills Voicebox after she murders an innocent little boy, he set Sally's uncle on fire for raping her, and is developing a hatred of Meta Knight for his relationship with the child Kirby (as well as the author for treating it as a good thing).

 Library Of The Damned (Website) / int_89a17726
comment
Spell My Name With An S: SC's full user handle is Specstacular SC. It has proven shockingly difficult for people to spell, hence why he simply goes by SC in his riffs. Teh Specs' name is not a memetic joke, that is his full title of address.

Cool Sword
 Library Of The Damned (Website) / int_a6275bef
comment
Cool Sword: Teh Specs has the most obvious example - a sword that he, himself, forged, and even named after this trope. Monocle has a gigantic sword. Sports Shades, though hailing from the Azuchi-Momoyama Period of Japan, employs a two-handed Chinese sword. SC has used several cool swords as deterrents against the DRD, including Yato and Jetstream Sam's gun-katana. Herr Wozzeck employed a rapier for a short time as a dumb-author-beating-tool, but only because he accidentally broke his treasured Mahler hammer, Alma.

Catchphrase: Elysium has "What about his/her/their X?" whenever an author misspells the word "you're", and Rimura has "This just in, X" whenever something particularly odd happens. As of late, she begins her riffs with "Roll tape".

comment
Bifauxnen: Shades of the Specs and Co. wears purposely gender-obscuring clothing and has her hair cropped short, so as to avoid catcalls. Ert's OC Nora falls under this trope as well. Downplayed with Elysium, who has rather short hair, but still looks female (in contrast to her riffing partner, Rimura).

comment
Schedule Slip: It's not as if riffers don't have lives, so this trope comes up fairly frequently. However, SC is especially guilty of this, sometimes going entire months on end without a single post. Lyle in particular completely vanished from the library in November of 2018, with the duties of posting guest riffs falling to Taco, Bats, and SC. The Bus Came Back on January 6th, 2020, though.

Ninja: There's a virtual army of them sneaking about the Library. The Bata clan serves under Ghostcat, wielding butter as a tool of both unexpectedly brutal efficiency, and vicious trolling of poor SC. "Lyle" has the services of a young Narutoverse kunoichi named Koori. Soup Ninja Kira usually hangs about with the Bata clan, though she seems to be a bit of a nuisance. Contacts obtained his supernatural powers of shadow manipulation from a ninja-like group, but he's been sworn to silence on pain of death about the matter.
