Day 10
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most. Feel free to include recs and examples! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.


One of my favorite things about fandom is the abundance of delicious, delicious tropes and kinky fic. I love seeing many iterations of the same thing that I love, because no two are the same: different characters, universe, writers and approaches make it all interesting, and that common thread reels me in and keeps me hooked. Maybe the most interesting part of all, for me, is seeing what other people find appealing in the themes that I love, and that’s what this challenge is all about.



I am a Team as Family, AU, crossover, fusion, trope junkie. Now that I think about it all the fandoms I love to read in or play in have that in common.

In Jeeves and Wooster, I think Bertie thinks of Jeeves as a big brother. A big brother whom gets Bertie out of the troubles he gets into.

In The Magnificent Seven tv series, I adore stories of how the seven become a team or how they became a family. I also love all the AU's like the ATF AU, Brothers AU, Las Vegas Chronicles, the Supermagnificent AU...just to name a few of AU's in the Mag 7 fandom I think the 7 fit well into so many worlds and that is why AU's have flourished in the Mag 7 fandom.

I love the team as family fics in Hawaii Five 0(2010), Firefly, Leverage, Castle, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Trek (all series), Killjoys and The Hobbit. In the Hobbit I also like to read fix-it fics and everyone lives no one dies fics.

Crossovers are fun because I like to see character mingle with each other and fusions allow characters to step into other worlds.



Hope this makes some sense. I have a sinus infection and meds make me a bit loopy, so forgive the long rambling.
