let's talk tropes :)

I think I am not alone in having favorite tropes in fanfic or whatever media I consume. I am also extremely predictable with the kind of dynamic I choose when shipping: you generally can safely bet the characters of my favorite pairing will start by being antagonistic (or don't like each other all that much), have very different personalities and

Hahahahaha, is vampires/werewolves so low because there area already canon werewolves in your fic? ;D

[gottalovev]

maybe! I mean, I do love the supernatural, I watch a shit ton of shows with it. and yeah, the werewolves in TW work for me! (some at least ;) ) and I love the dynamic between human nature/wolf nature and all of that. Vampires? Sometime, if I like the characters (like my girl Caroline in TVD), they can have tons of potential.

but to take a bunch of human characters, and then making a werewolf or vampire AU with them? Nah. Not interested, I never was much. If I'm reading Marvel, I'll go with superheroes or regular human AUs. With SGA I would read all AUs around, but I don't particularly remember a werewolf/vampire AU, and I suppose they exist. I say that, but I almost did write one, btw, years ago, but it never went past a vague idea (John would have been a wolf, Rodney a reluctant mage).

in short I wasn't surprised it was real down the list because when it asked werewolf AU or H/c? well duh. Werewolf AU or arranged marriage? well I'd pic the other. so here we are :)

I guess I was sort of looking at vampire/wolf AU as a general 'supernatural/urban fantasy' thing, since obviously OP only included 28 tropes. (And, like, I didn't really get the difference between 'enemies to friends to lovers' and 'rivalmancy'??? unless I'm missing something.)

John would be agood wolf.
