Trope Sorting!

[mrsluigivargas]

Ooh, this looks fun! I did 2 of them. I don't usually pay attention to what tropes I like/dislike so this was quite informative.

A lot of the more romance-y stuff is at the bottom, except for maybe A/B/O and Polyamory, which made the top 10. I've seen some good interesting A/B/O fics, so that makes sense, and while I don’t seek it out or anything, in my experience its hard to go wrong with polyamory, lol. I'm surprised soulmate stuff made it as high as it did, though considering the other options, perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised after all.

55 Self-Insert (born as Original Character)

Of course Age Regression made the top spot; I've read quite a few of those from the Avengers fandom and they're always a treat. I wish there were more. The other top tropes are also Very Good.

And bottom choices are bottom choices. MST fic seems like it could get mean really quickly, and I've never seen a good "Characters Find Out About the Books They're From" fic in my entire life. So.

Hey, with all this talk of tropes that reminds me: This wasn't on either trope list, but you know what trope I miss the most? The "Character Gets Shrunk and They Have to be Taken Care Of by Their Friend(s)" Trope. It vanished off the face of the Earth and I can't find it anywhere! It's such a neat concept with a lot of potential, but its so rare and even non-existent nowadays, and that makes me sad.

That long row of 20s is so funny to me sdfghjk I should probably use the "no opinion" button more bc I spent so much time agonizing over two tropes I couldn't care less about (or cOULD I which one did I care about lEAST tho) Haha

*waves* Same hat!!!

I low-key wish there was a "both of these tropes are repulsive get them out of my sight" option, but including such an option seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth in terms of coding, so the "no opinion" option was the next best thing, i guess (^_^);
