Trope ratings: Bodyswap, Accidental Marriage, aaaaaand Mutual Pining? xoxo MJ/kiwiana-writes

HELLOOOOOO.

Bodyswap: LMAO you're very clever sending me one I'm currently writing. I do love body swap fics of all kinds, so probably a solid A? I enjoy the awkwardness of characters having to inhabit someone else's body, and it often makes for some good physical comedy. Plus the moments of 'oh no, they're too hot how am I supposed to deal with this'.

Accidental marriage: I don't think I've actually read that many of these? I assume most of them are Vegas fics, which I can kind of take or leave, so I guess a C. They don't draw me in, but they can be fun.

Mutual pining: MY BELOVED. A+++ 105%. If pining is delicious, mutual pining is 10x as sweet. I once said almost all of my fics are mutual pining even if we only see one side pining, and I stand by that. It's mutual pining even if one of them doesn't know it. Sub-trope of mutual pining while fucking is also incredible. Mutual pining is the GOAT.

Send me a fic trope and I'll grade it

rules: How much do these tropes affect your decision to click on a fic? -10 -> very dissuaded  0 - don’t care either way  +10 -> very enticed  nope -> if it’s a hard no and you’d never click on a fic with that tag or or you even have the tag blocked or you’d insta click out of the fic if it wasn’t tagged.  Bonus points for explaining the rating and whether it’s conditional.

other than that I don't particularly care hah

depends - a bit is fine, but not like unhealthy levels haha

[iammistressofmyfate]

More tropes for the rating!! Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, and kidfics 🙏🙏🙏

Thanks, friend!! I really love doing these lmao And literally just in time, my CEU starts now!

Enemies to Lovers - B - I like it. I'm not usually in the mood for it but I'll read it, especially if it's humorous, maybe some lite angst

Friends to Lovers - A+ - One of my favorite tropes. I love writing it, I will actively seek it out. A++ if it's CHILDHOOD friends to lovers. Cannot get enough. I love when characters have a whole history as they develop into a romantic relationship 🥺

Kidfics - A - I enjoy a good kidfic. I love exploring and reading about my favorites becoming parents and seeing what that would be like. Maybe some lite angst, but I mostly like how soft and tender these fics usually are.

Trope rating: A classic enemies to lovers

With the lot of angsty stuffs? HELL YES!

[badassbutterfly1987]

For the trope rating: arranged marriage & fake dating (because they have always been somehow similar categories in my mind)

Arranged marriage

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

This trope is a delight. Maybe it will end in love. Maybe it will remain purely political or with some friendship. Maybe they hate each other's guts. Honestly the politics and reactions surrounding the marriage can be just as fun. I think I have a weakness for Drama.

Fake Dating

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

A cousin trope that is similar but feels more casual I guess? Honestly haven't read much with this trope (just seen some mediocre Hallmark movies). I think it can be very fun in the right circumstances but the examples I've seen don't really draw me in.

[conjectureand-gloom]

FOR THE FANFICTION TROPE: FOUND FAMILY

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.

YES. I LOVE IT. IT’S EASY TO MESS UP, BUT IF IT’S DONE WELL, WHICH IT ALMOST ALWAYS IS, THEN YESSSS I LIVE FOR THIS TROPE

[institute-of-dolls]

Pspspspsppst Trope Rating: Lima 😘

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

Lima?? As in Lima Syndrome.

As in when the captor becomes obsessed with and grows to care for the captive??

Is that one of the dolls asking? I detect a hint of targeted questions

of course I Love Lima tropes. I cant even express how much I love this. Its the core leg of the fundamental trifecta of the way i write and work and fuck. Whats to point of even trying to capture it in words. Its to good. Why even bother capturing something if you arn't willing to let yourself get a little obsessed.

Magic AUs! And high school AU too

Oooh ok, let's do this!

Magic AU: We'll go with A-. I don't seek them out specially, but I do enjoy them quite a bit whether it's modern with magic or a fantasy AU. I feel like my appreciation for this genre has grown over the last few years, too.

High school AU: I'm gonna be honest, high school was a terrible part of my life and one I'd like to forget, so I have to rate these a D, only because I've read a FEW but only under specific circumstances. @orchidscript's '50s AU The Way You Seemed is one I adore. But for the most part they are sadly not my jam.

Send me a fic trope and I'll grade it

[ashyblondwaves]

Trope rating: there’s only one bed 👀

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

[teazerwashere]

soulmate au trope?

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

Soulmate implies monogamy. I'm not about that life. >:(

[iammistressofmyfate]

For the fandom trope ask, how do you feel about Fake Dating?

Rachel asked me about this one, too!

I give Fake Dating a B-

I go back and forth about it. I think a good fic writer could catch my attention and interest but it's not something I actively seek out. There's a lot of angst potential and I'm a giant weenie but if it was written with more humor and had a happy ending, I could be enticed!

Thank you for asking, friend! <33

For the trope rating: failed escape attempts

No | rather not | I dunno | I guess | Sure | Yes | FUCK yes | Oh god you don’t even know |

kandklnfpoabdiojnfs

I can't even express how much i love failed escape attempts.

The hope and desperation! Followed by despair and further desperation! Maybe there that frantic begging when someone is caught again, or a resistance that's rather futile. The captors smug vibe of inevitability or rage at the attempt. I just... loveee failed escape attempts
