Snowflake Challenge #11
In your own space, talk about your favorite trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme.


I think that preferences change as we grow older. When I was a young fanfic reader, I avoided stuff which were dark or had many kinks. Later when it seemed like I exhausted the "rated teen and up" reading list, I ventured in the "rated mature" and eventually the "explicit". I found some gems in the mature and explicit fics. Yes, there is p0rn but sometimes it is tasteful and is actually part of the plot especially with the kink fics (shout out to the tsn kinkmeme fics).

Here's a list of tropes/cliche/kink/motif/theme/etc (not comprehensive):
01. Angst
02. Angst with a Happy Ending
03. Canon Divergence - Alternate Universe
04. Death and the Maiden
05. Slice of Life

I've been leaning more and more to Slice of Life because it is sedate and the drama is minimal.
