it's me you know you can't replace.

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandomspecific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Because I'm bored and I haven't really updated with the memes in awhile. Took this from cheriestar.

1. Hot Gimmick/pick almost any random shoujo manga syndrome. HDU IT'S A BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY

2.Agreed, it gets annoying when a fanservice character's body is the butt of the joke all the time.

3. I know what you mean but I can't think of one right now. Do you have an example?

That's probably why I don't like the majority of anime fight scenes. It's always the same reactions being played over and over.

1. IT IS SO GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL. HOW CAN WE NOT RECOGNIZE THE BEAUTY OF ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS.

3. Um, one of the biggest examples is Meg from Family Guy. Admittedly it's a little expected, since she's whiny and self-absorbed, but the way the entire cast dumps all over her is really discouraging, especially since she's an insecure teenager. (Part of the reason why I stopped watching it. That and it just wasn't funny anymore.) There's other shows too, but I can't remember at the moment either.

IT IS. I always count how many times a guy ends up spitting up blood, and it astounds me that none of them are dead by the time it's over. And it isn't a little blood like you get from getting punched in the mouth; it's critical "oh my god there goes 1 pint" bleeding.

Annnnd like the dummy I am, I just realized you asked me about fic tropes, and not just general tropes. That's a little embarrassing on my part since it took me two days to realize it. D: Sorry about that.

To be honest, I don't have a lot of fic tropes I hate, except I really really hate high school AUs that have extremely generic plots.

haha I didn't even realise we had gone off-topic to general tropes.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of high school AU's either because it's usually projection on the author's part and high school just isn't that interesting to me. I prefer college or university AUs but those are pretty rare for some reason.
