Tropes/Scenes you dislike but write/read anyway

[(Anonymous)]

What tropes/scenes do you immensely dislike, but find yourself writing into your own works/fic or find yourself reading anyway?

Mine below.

Re: Tropes/Scenes you dislike but write/read anyway

I usually get secondhand embarrassment from reading the "night club scene" in fic, where in character A gets done up to the 9s, and character B realizes how attractive A is, or both use it as an excuse to get sensual with each other while still increasing the UST.

This is especially bad when the attire is described.

And yet, I still write such scenes into my own fic. I try to avoid dress descriptions.

Bonus: in all my time of going out (granted, it's not often) only once have I seen a guy in leather pants. And it was some faux leather/different kind of fabric. I almost started cracking up, because all I could think of was Leatherpants!Draco.

I have a hard time with writing descriptions of clothing. It's not that I don't know how, it's that I keep doing it and I don't want to because whenever I read what I write over again, those parts always make me cringe because I just think of My Immortal.

And LOL when I think of Draco in leather pants, now I think of Loki in leather pants.

ayrt

lol, yes. I think I'm always afraid my descriptions will come off that way! But it doesn't always have to be so bad...although, I will admit, I started reading a book once, and the author just dove into the clothing description about a page or two into the story, and I had to take a minute and remind myself that this was not fic, even though the writer was going on like it was...

Incest.

The concept squicks me, but I keep accidentally writing sibling pairs with incestuous or pseudo-incestuous subtext.

Re: Tropes/Scenes you dislike but write/read anyway

[(Anonymous)]

Now that you mention it, yes, I have this problem as well.

I haven't grown to dislike 'surprise pregnancy' tropes, but I do feel they've become a bit overused, and yet I've written them in a lot of my own fic.

The Woobie trope. Mind you it's because of someone who abused the trope to try to get sympathy for a character.

And yet I often have a woobie in my own works. (Though it more JUST HAPPENED rather than "trying to get sympathy")

Well, I don't much like reading pure fluff, but I write it because I'm not good at writing angsty or dark things.
