Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything that doesn't use a trope as a device somewhere. What ISN'T a trope? It's like... how long is a piece of string?
Hunh. So I'm just deluded in thinking that I don't always write fics with tropes?
Maybe reverie_indigo has it right and that without tropes you just get bizarre stories that the reader wants to kill the writer for having constructed.
There has to be a theme, an underlying flavour or idea powering the whole thing... I seriously want to know what isn't a trope! It's not a trick question.
No no! I know it's not a trick question and reverie_indigo was just saying the exact same thing!
I thought tropes were just the common ones. Maybe at this point in time, there is no such thing as uncommon tropes. We are still just retelling the same stories the Greeks told!
