Fic Tropes

sanguinity  did it, and I couldn't resist: Ultimate Fanfic Trope Showdown

My results:

( Tropes! )

Surprisingly granular! Though I would have pegged Vampires/Werewolves AU and Magic Connection lower, more like 12. And soulmate marks is only as high as it is because I was envisioning my best-case-scenario for the trope, which I really like a lot, instead of the most-common-scenario for the trope, which I kind of hate. The ones at the bottom of the list are right on though, those are the tropes I don't touch with a ten-foot pole, for various idiosyncratic reasons. (I have never been able to explain why reincarnation AUs squick me so hard, but I can't scroll past the summaries of them fast enough.)

Also, I didn't see the instruction to try not to use the "I like both" or "No opinion" boxes until halfway through, and then I changed my behavior, so I might have gotten slightly different results if I had bothered to read the whole page before starting.

Update: I took it again, refusing to use the "I like both" or "No opinion" boxes -- I gave in only once, when it gave me Daemons vs Hogwarts AU, which are two things that fit in exactly the same box in my head (really popular AUs that I have negative interest in, because I haven't read -- have in fact refused to read -- the source material, and whose popularity I thus resent) and I really couldn't choose between them. The test took a lot longer that way, I suspect because I kept giving it conflicting information! But at the end, I got a list with only one tie on it:

( Tropes, redux! )

And you know, I think that's pretty much accurate!
