Trope Bingo 2016 (Round 6)

[thisbluespirit]

I have a trope_bingo table! (I made it go lower case - so much better!)


ETA: Rebooted for Amnesty Round 2017.

hurt/comfort	body swap	rivals to lovers	road trip	locked in
fake relationship	rights of passage/ coming of age	love triangle	fluff	au: space
au: fairy tale/ myth	presumed dead	FREE SPACE	au: other	telepathy/ mind meld
mind control	poor communication skills	tall tale	au: historical	meta fiction
trust and vows	accidental hero	mind games	huddle for warmth	power dynamics

Apart from the fact I completely missed "bodyswap" on the lists (I would have put it on my opt outs otherwise), that is a pretty great card. There's a pointless fic I've been tempted to write lately that would fill one of those squares, so now I will just have to write it, obviously. And other things. Yes! It's a nice card. (Although, having just done a whole Hurt/Comfort bingo card & thinking I should do trope bingo for a change, I'm LOL-ing at my very first square being hurt/comfort.)

I like your card! I'm rather amused that mine includes 'curtainfic', because I had to look it up while going through the trope list - and given how many slice-of-life stories I've written, I seem to have been using the trope for ages without knowing it.

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I'm all pleased with it too! And, aha, yes, curtainfic certainly is something you've done quite a bit. :-)

[elen_nare]

I thought it meant something like a final scene, you know, as in curtain call or something like that... I giggled a fair bit when I discovered what it actually was.

I think you can write all kinds of weird, subversive S&S stuff with that card. :)

[thisbluespirit]

Well, let's face it, really - I don't even need a card to do it! :-D

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

True. True. But it is fun to watch the tropes on the card mutate. :)

Yay for an excuse for writing pointless fic:) It looks a good card. I guess the rules allow you to swerve bodyswap?

[thisbluespirit]

Well, I only have to make five things in a row, so yes. But you never know, I may decide to go for it anyway, but it's not my favourite trope!

I now have a mental image of James Maxwell on Pointless. Sorry, just when you said pointless my mind immediately jumped to the quiz show.

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, I'm just rather amused that too much contact with me has made your brain leap to James Maxwell!!

'Presumed Dead' sounds fun. If you did OUAT, you could have absolutely everyone - except maybe one person - presumed dead - in Fairyland, having disappeared to 'reality'. ?... The Fairyland equivalent of zombie flicks, wandering through abandoned shopping malls/enchanted grottoes...

[thisbluespirit]

Ha, true!

Rather love your card - and yay lower case!! Upper case does seem to rather shout it all at you...lower case is much easier to look at. Good topics, too! Whoot!

*HUGS*

[thisbluespirit]

Thank you! I thought it was rather nice myself. :-D

I signed up on a whim and all thanks to you! Who knows, it might miraculously resuscitate my dead muse? (Hardly likely since I struggled like hell to spell "resuscitate" correctly, this is bad omens.)

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, well, good luck! I hope so, too - but even if it doesn't, at least bingos are v low pressure & you can always do rec sets or icon sets or something to get at least one square. :-)

Good point! :)
