Re: Kinks, narrative kinks, and favorite tropes!

[dreemyweird]

Hm, lemme see. The problem with me is that I really love it when a work of fiction (especially if it's literature we're talking about) manages to introduce me to some trope I would have never thought of before (because this makes for unpredictable plots).

Nevertheless.

I love it when people know what they are writing about! Not just in the "I did my research" way, but in the "I have been doing this research all my life and intend to continue until I die, now let me gush about these useless facts some more". Which is why I'm a little in love with C.S. Forester and, say, G.K. Chesterton. [The weird part is that I thoroughly dislike the writer who was the one to introduce me to this trope.]

On a related note, when a narrative includes bits of specialist knowledge from the fields I'm interested in. Cryptography, for one. Literature. Mathematics - all the mathematics ever. I generally dislike pseudoscience, but when it's done well and does not annoy me, it is one of the best tropes in existence.

When it comes to self-indulgence, all h/c tropes and EPIC FRIENDSHIP. Nothing makes me melt faster than epic friendship. Especially the mentor-student kind. [Which is probably one of the reasons I have such a crush on the Murder Rooms book trilogy.]

Steampunk elements. I have a weakness for steampunk, and it upsets me that there has really been little of it since the times of Jules Verne.

Also, I have a fondness for absurdism and children's literature.
