I'm not gonna burn your house down.
I like reading Useful Notes pages.
Tropes I have strong feelings towards:
- Black Comedy Rape: Not a fan. I don't think rape is funny, nor can it ever be justified.
- Cerebus Retcon: One of my favorite tropes when it comes to fanfics based on comedies. I like angstfics, or at least well-done ones that (a) give good reasons for certain character changes, (b) don't go too far to the point of being sappy, and (c) have some actual development.
- Character Development: I am very fond of this trope. I don't mind seeing characters whom I disliked in canon getting Adaptational Karma, but unless it's one of the villains, I would prefer that it causes them to learn from their mistakes and change for the better.
- Deconstruction Fic: I love these. I love ones that can combine this with Reconstruction effectively even more.
- Double Standard: I HATE this trope, and all of its sub-divisions, especially the abuse one.
- Rule of Funny: Sometimes I like it, sometimes I think it goes far beyond comic territory.
- White Man's Burden: An insultingly bad trope. I condemn it and people who advocate it when it comes to history.
