Challenge #11 asks us to examine the building blocks and units of storytelling.
I don't have a bulletproof trope or other such unit of storytelling that draws me to a story or guarantees that it will be enjoyable. (Sometimes I think these challenges, and a fair amount of my fannish life, would be easier if I did have an OTP or something that was guaranteed to make it good for me.) The skill of someone using tropes and their storytelling elements can make a story better or worse for me, but it's not going to make or break the story itself.
( What do I like (and dislike) though? )
In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. […]
What is that one (or several!) trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme that grips your attention whenever it pops up in fandom or fanworks? What is it about it that works for you or appeals to you? If you have any recs or examples, feel free to include them!
