Via a recent post by [personal profile] trobadora . According to this particular quiz I'm:
Fic trope

So my initial reaction was: "Okay, no, what the hell? I don't even like that trope!" But then I read the description, and, well... In the rare event that I do ship, this actually describes me perfectly. I'm not a shipper in general; I usually just take the canon pairing(s) as given but don't bother to pursue them or the popular non-canon pairings, which is why I only have a handful of fandoms for which read fic or interact with the members. (Out of the maybe couple hundred series I've come to love during all my years of fiction consumption, there're only about 10-15 for which I have a ship at all XD)

But when I do ship? I'm incapable of multishipping, to the point where I can't even read, say, for-fun fic where members of my OTP(s) are paired off with other people (though exceptions can be made for canon relationships which are imperative for character development, or pre-OTP OC ships mentioned only in passing). I'm greedy as hell for all manner of AU's, provided the characters I ship end up together and their characterisations and relationship dynamics aren't altered unreasonably. Save for one or two notable exceptions, I don't ship protagonists with antagonists because I don't like it when lovers/love interests treat each other and/or their friends/family/allies/species poorly... There's more, but these are the most relevant points, I think. So, yep. Looks like Soulmate AU is actually perfect for me. Who'd have thought?

Yeah, I know, I know. It's probably a good thing I rarely ship, because it turns out I'm secretly the world's most annoying shipper 😅

Oh, and I just noticed: Oddly - considering my terrible luck with regards to pretty much everything else ^^ - I'm pretty lucky when it comes to online quizzes. The answers I get are often spot-on.

(And I gotta say it: why did they ruin the picture of that cute ginger kitty with that terrible excuse for a filter!? Ugh.)

clevermanka recently linked to that site where you can make yourself a grid for fanfic trope preferences. Since this DW has effectively become the receptacle for all my fandom-related ramblings, I'm posting my own grid here. The tiles under each category are arranged in alphabetical order.

I felt like some fairly important/common tropes hadn't been offered, but, hey, gotta work with what you've got, right?


Tropes

Over the months, I've come up with various ideas for Guardian fan fic, which have mostly been posted as replies to other people's comments/entries. I wanted to collect them here for (1) Posterity and (2) Accountability, in the (very unlikely) event that I'd one day want to do something with them.

(1) Inception AU )

(2) Gang AU )

(3) Wild West AU )

(4) Incubus!ZYL AU )


I'll probably update this post if/when I come up with new ideas. In the (extremely unlikely) event that anyone sees these and feels inspired, I'd appreciate it if you'd run it by me before using the bunny/ies in a fic, though I wouldn't make a scene or anything even if you didn't. On the one hand, it's not like these are the world's most original plots, and OTOH, if I posted them publicly then I gotta accept the fact that they're not really my property any more, right? 😅

It feels kind of pretentious to ramble about my personal opinions when I'm not a distinguished person in fandom, because who even cares about what I like? But then again, I'd love to come back to this page 10 years into the future (or something) and see how my tastes have changed over time, if at all, so for once I'm making a post for/about myself!

And, yep, this is the Either/Or Meme that was first posted by @solo here and has been making its way around.

Long-winded rambling under the cut... )
