9. What are your favorite tropes?

I have too many to list. Here are a few.

Friends to lovers. The reluctant hero. Someone in distress. Found family, race against time, rags to riches.

I live to read fantasy stories but don’t write them at all.

Friends to lovers is the ultimate trope, isn't it? It's why I'm in fandom, and that's no matter if the ship is m/m, f/f, or m/f.

Tiermaker has a lot of trope ranking charts from fans, which is fun to do. I've posted one to my journal before.

I've done a lot of Friends to Lovers without even realizing that's what I was writing.

You can combine all of those into one story! But it has to be a longish story.

Reluctant hero is so good! So is found family, which I find across my fandoms. This is a very solid list!

I feel this - there are some genres I absolutely love reading but could not get my head around to write.

I like the trope, but I always fail when I try to write it.

I do like writing fantasy, it's fun to play with the boundaries (and I like dragons :)

Friends to lovers is a great trope. It's always nice to see a relationship change, and finding out what it is that pushes them over the line.
