Okay, so it's been a while since we did a poll and I want to get to know more about your favourite tropes. Whether in books, film, audio, whatever medium...

Decided to max out the options here (25), there's probably some tropes missing or some that overlap in some ways but tried to capture most of the major ones. There's no real 'definitive' list out there and we've got limited space.

It's multiple choice so pick all that apply.

Personally, I'm a sucker for writing BDSM.

I've tried fantasy and just ended up giving the werewolves the personalities of handsome divorced Dads or the vampires ended up chilling on the couch eating pizza as your friend's hot brother, it got real weird, so I stopped myself in my tracks before I ended up ruining a whole sub-genre.

Only time i've ever felt like I got it somewhat right was The Witcher inspired script at the beginning of 2022. The link for that audio is HERE.

Anyway...pick your faves.
