TV Tropes is a well-known wiki-type site, and one of my favorites. Unlike it's older sibling, commonly known as That Other Wiki on the site, TV Tropes is a more fun-loving, laid-back site with a relaxed atmosphere. It has multiple forums and is extremely easy to register to.
Fun fact: it calls linking to other pages on-site Potholing, a practice of which I shall indulge in for this entry.
It is a rather comprehensive compendium of different writing conventions, plot devices, and figures of speech. Using this, you can come to understand nearly every single aspect of storytelling and fiction, right down to characters, from heroes to villains. If you need to know it, TV Tropes probably has the info.
If you stay there long enough, you may find the opposite of life-shattering consequences and corrupted vocabulary may cast it's blessing on you - you could gain an enhanced vocabulary, knowledge enough to impress some teachers, can steer you away from negative writing conventions if you write stories, can make you funnier, and much, MUCH more. You could well pleasantly benefit from a visit.
