Tropes

[quipxotic]

Borrowed from sanguinity and based on my results on this sorting quiz:


1 Found Families
1 Vampires/Werewolves AU
1 Magical Connection (Telepathy, etc)
4 Supernatural Creature/Human Romance
5 Snowed-In Cabin/Isolated Together For Extended Period of Time
6 Royals/Political Marriage Turns Into Feelings
6 Fairy Tale/Mythology AU
8 Fake Dating/Fake Marriage Accidentally Turns Into Feelings
8 Seemingly Unrequited Pining
8 Characters Swap Roles AU (I don't mean in the bedroom)
8 'Falling For A Coworker/Teammate Is A Bad Idea' Except This Is Fiction So It Works Out
8 Amnesia Fic
8 Hurt/Comfort
14 Hogwarts AU
14 Daemons
14 Accidentally Fell In Love With The Mission Target
14 Polyamory
14 Pride and Prejudice AU
14 Friends to Lovers
14 Loyalty Kink
21 They Break Up (but then They Get Back Together)
21 Enemies to Friends to Lovers
23 'Everyone is Evil'/Mirrorverse AU
24 Actually Unrequited Pining
25 Soulmate Identifying Marks (Tattoo, Red Thread of Fate, etc)
26 Adopting/Raising a Baby
26 Selfcest (possibly due to time travel)
26 'They All Work In An Office' AU
26 Unusually Specific Occupation AU, Like, The Author Clearly Has The Same Job
26 And They Were Roommates!
26 Body Swapping
26 'Groundhog Day'/Karmic Time Loop
26 Reincarnation/'25 Lives' AU
26 A/B/O
26 Coffee House AU/Food Service AU
36 High School/University AU
36 Hot Single Parent(s)


Which is fairly accurate, I guess. I mean, the first two will surprise no one since I've written both more than once.

I do have one question: where is the bed sharing? There should be bed sharing in any "pick your trope" list.

what kind of empirical research is this

[amindamazed]

you make an excellent point: WHERE IS THE BED SHARING?!? the only explanation is that it’s assumed to be #1 for all so they didn’t bother listing it? otherwise the entire project is just too flawed.

EXACTLY! There's a lot of redundancy in the list (Does anyone really need both "Royals/Political Marriage Turns Into Feelings" and "Fake Dating/Fake Marriage Accidentally Turns Into Feelings?") and some random weirdness ("Hot Single Parent(s)?" Is that even a thing? As common as bed sharing? I don't think so).
