Any writing tropes/other pet peeves? I'm doing a poll sort of from my fave writers then writing a fic guide based on them! Thanks for the help! x
hmm. oh boy.Â
see, iâm not too tough on writing tropes because, for me, itâs all about the little things you add on top of the overused plot thatâll make it bearable. kind of like a plain olâ bowl of ice cream. sure, everyone can and will eat vanilla but it is wayyy better with candy pieces and a caramel drizzle.Â
granted, there are a few that i am so so so tired of seeing. iâm really tired of the stupid good girl/bad boy trope especially with that fucking After movie coming out. also the âgood girlâ is so virginal and proper and pure to the point where iâm laughing incredulously at the shit she says/does.Â
this kind of goes hand-in-hand with the good girl/bad boy, but the good girl has sexual awakening. YAWN. itâs 2019. with the internet, plain old curiosity and the ability to discreetly get an abundance of sex toys delivered to your home, it sure as shit doesnât take a man for a girl to have her first orgasm or do something âdirty.â stop inflating the male ego lmao.
OI! another one is rich CEO guy meets hardworking college student/cinderella. i hate this one sometimes too because theyâre always really predictable. the rich guy is cold and thatâs how he got rich and the girl is warm and sad and momâs dying or something. also, they almost never explain how rich guy is rich. or theyâll say heâs the CEOâbitch of what?? and there are other ways for a person to be the âbossâ and be rich⌠like they can own a talent agency or be the editor in chief of a magazine or news publication. but itâs always just some rich guy that works in an intimidating skyscraper with floor-to-ceiling windows.
those all are just wayyy overused. thanks, w*ttpad/50 sh*des/After for spoiling them for me.
other than that, i am pretty much cool with everything else as long as itâs original and well written. :)
