40 Writing Questions - Questions 10 and 11

Hey, remember this? Yeah, me neither.

10. Top three favorite fic tropes.

- Friends to Lovers
- Mutual Pining
- Hurt/Comfort

(Can you tell I live for the sexual tension?)

11. Three tropes that are fine but overrated.

- Enemies-to-Lovers (listen, there has to be some actual enmity here, not just "oh noes, we don't like the same ice cream flavor!")
- Grumpy/Sunshine (especially when it's always the heroine who's the Sunshine. It's not her job to fix you, you pathetic sadsack of a man!)
- Small-business AU (coffee shop/flower shop/bakery/etc.)

To be honest, though, I'm not really much of a trope reader. I generally use tropes to filter out things I'm not interested in reading.
