Fandom Snowflake Challenge #9

[thatjustwontbreak]

Introduction Post * Meet the Mods Post * Challenge #1 * Challenge #2 * Challenge #3 * Challenge #4 * Challenge #5 * Challenge #6 * Challenge #7 * Challenge #8 *



Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time, or go back and do challenges you've missed.


Let's talk TROPES! Our ninth challenge is about discussing your favorite tropes, which can include requesting recommendations or making recommendations for a particular trope. Follow your heart! (Also a trope.)

Challenge #9

Talk about your favorite tropes in media or transformative works. (Feel free to substitute in theme/motif/cliche if "trope" doesn't resonate with you.)

Post your answer to today's challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so. Also, feel free to entice engagement by giving us a preview of what your post covers.

For your reference:

And please do check out the comments for all the awesome participants of the challenge and visit their journals/challenge responses to comment on their posts and cheer them on.

And just as a reminder: this is a low pressure, fun challenge. If you aren't comfortable doing a particular challenge, then don't. We aren't keeping track of who does what.

Done!

[thatjustwontbreak]

Oooh canon preferences vs. fanon. Thanks for participating!

[linky]

Here's mine! I listed quite a few. This list applies to both media and fanworks.

[thatjustwontbreak]

A lovely list! Ty for taking part.

[nightfalltwen]

All the silly tropes!

Here is my entry.

[thatjustwontbreak]

Yes to constraints! A great post for this challenge.

[autumninpluto]

Done with mine! I mostly just listed them out as I didn't really have the words to elaborate further and thought they were pretty self-explanatory lol

[thatjustwontbreak]

Beautifully done! Some absolute classics in there. Thanks for participating!

[cooperscreosote]

Done! But looking at the other entries I now see that I misinterpreted the prompt and didn't make a list of tropes. Oops...I hope it's still alright to post here: https://innitmarvellous.dreamwidth.org/37289.html

[thatjustwontbreak]

I think you are well within the prompt guidelines! It's so interesting to inspect our own work and see what tropes align. Thanks for doing the challenge!

Done!

[ysabetwordsmith]

My post is here; I discuss soulmates / soulmarks / soulbonds.

Re: Done!

[thatjustwontbreak]

Great interpretation of the prompt! Thank you for taking part. :)

[silveradept]

Tropes are Tools. Also a bit of a random-manifesto about certain kinds of tropes that I like or consider important for a work.

[thatjustwontbreak]

Nicely done! Folksonomies! What a good word. Thank you for participating.

[lightbird]

Done! Road trip!

[thatjustwontbreak]

Let's gooo! Thank you for taking part!

[glitteringstars]

Just a little thing

[thatjustwontbreak]

Yay for participating! I think your #2 relates well to ysabetwordsmith's post. :) Thank you for taking part.

[ruuger]

Here's mine (though it's less of a trope and more of an oddly specific narrative kink)

[thatjustwontbreak]

Fantastic Ted Talk- would attend again. Glad you linked your relevant fics! Thank you for taking part.

[dizzojay]

Here's mine!

Overlapping trope concepts! So fantastic. Ty for doing the challenge!

Right on time for once! xD

[thatjustwontbreak]

So punctual! :) Thank you for participating in this challenge.

[kingstoken]

My post, I did 8 and 9 together, and list four tropes I love.

[thatjustwontbreak]

The creative process and tropes really go well together in a combo. Thank you for taking part!

[brumeier]

My tropes list! I included the reasons why I like each one, because I always have something to say. LOL!

[thatjustwontbreak]

Great contemplation on the the different tropes! Ty for participating. :)

[fairyniamh]

I wrote a long answer. Reread the question, cursed my headache, wrote what the challenge called for. Let's pretend it is the 80s military. Don't ask, don't tell.
