Tiny update

I have a full outline for the SBB fic ! :D

Alright, so the ending is a shitty ‘cue : love’ kind of rush but considering it’s going to build up on whatever I write for the beginning, I’m not too worried about that. The material will get there sooner rather than later...besides, my goal was to be finished with the general outline for the second check-in on Sunday, and I am, and therefor I’m satisfied.

Also, I'm showing off the new icon because I can x)

Ultimate fanfic tropes showdown!

I just saw novembermond 's entry on the topic and it looked too tempting not to try it myself, so here's my ranked list of prefered fanfic tropes (among a preselected set). I'm pretty sure Praise Kink should be on the list).


( My ranked list )

Looking at my list, I'm actually surprised P&P AUs are so high on it, because I love the idea of a P&P AU fic, but I have yet to read one that feels satisfying to me... Iam, in case, you didn't know, a picky reader in many respect (while at the same time being a complete and indiscriminate glutton in others, I don't even know). Overall I think some tropes here are lower than they would have been in a different set, but it's still pretty accurate in terms of general order, so it's fun xD

Besides, it's also amusing to see how different rankings can be for some items between people, like A/B/O verses for example (fairly high on Mond's list and, well...quite close to the bottom in mine xD)
