    *inserts self into the chaos*

    Aloha, friends. I come with glad tidings. I am a Fantasy writer as well! (:

    I wish I had time to really read over y’all’s (y’alls? y’alls’? idk, gosh darned country slang *throws a chair*) all of you fellow human beings’ replies, but since I don’t, I suppose I’ll just jump into the fray here P:

    @pursuewisdom ROYALTY! yes! *high-five*

    My favorite trope is definitely good-vs.-evil. It’s extremely refreshing to me for good and evil to be portrayed as two obviously different spectrums without equal benefits (“good” obviously being better), instead of a mixmatched confused gray like other genres tend to write it as. It kind of reminds you of all the stuff you know, but tend to forget about because of all the everythings that are in life, ya know? It really makes me happy, and even helps set my priorities or refocus my mind on what is good or evil (depending on the book, of course).

    Least favorite trope? Elves. J. R. R. Tolkien was the only person who did them well. Of course, I love the idea of Elves so so much and, if I’m not looking for a deep read, love the presence of Elven characters in fantasy stories because ELVES. But, still, it’s not very artistic. It’s like the Fantasy Right of Passage, only it shouldn’t be. Sigh.

    Other tropes I love: ROYALTY! DRAGONS! FORESTS! AHHH!
