superhero_muses I'm enjoying writing about fandom trends, so... What are three of your favorite tropes to write? What tends to show up a lot in your work?
I guess just mentally rummaging through my fic I think amnesia, pining, and pretend relationship tend to come up a lot! (I love a good pretend relationship!) I haven't finished my canon review for the fic I'm turning over in my head, but I think it'll have a bit of pining there. So far it refuses to have a plot that I can actually hang much on, sadly. That's okay, I'm trying to be very low-stakes! I hope your writing is going well!

Date: 2024-08-02 12:29 am (UTC)I might have found something of a plot for my fic! There's a mermaid-adjacent character (kind of an orca-human cross) who's half-human, and I think she might get turned human by a spall (but of course her lover loves her best in mermaid form!) I could write some fun fish-out-of-water (haha) scenes with her trying to figure out Victorian culture...
