Brief thoughts.
Challenge #9
Talk about your favorite tropes in media or transformative works.
In fic, I'll pretty much always give wingfic, superpowers, and mpreg a try. I rarely turn down outsider POV or post-canon explorations. Fics that peer around the corners of the canon to look at what's lurking there are usually worth checking out. There's not much else that I'll click on pretty much every time I come across it - what I want in Top Gun fic is very different from what I want in Scrubs or Deep Space Nine, and there's certain tropes that I'll deliberately seek out in some fandoms and work to avoid in others.
In terms of general media, some that I always get a kick out of are a bunch of people from very different backgrounds thrown together, which I generally see ensemble casts, but not always - it depends on the circumstances, with less of it in The Wire than MASH. Urban fantasy is something where my tastes are pretty narrow, so I'm willing to check it out fairly regularly in the hopes I've found something new in that narrow range. I enjoy extreme competence and awesome Jews are always welcome.
