Excerpt from TVTropes.org
What are some of your favorite tropes to write into your RPs and/or written works? What do you enjoy most about writing said tropes? Are there any particular tropes that annoy you? Why do they annoy you? Is there anything else you would like to share about your experiences with tropes?
If you haven’t already, I highly recommend that you visit https://tvtropes.org/ to learn more about what tropes are, as well as what kinds of tropes are out there. You might even be exploring tropes that you didn’t even know existed!
A trope is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize. Tropes are the means by which a story is told by anyone who has a story to tell.
Tropes are not the same thing as cliches. They may be brand new but seem trite and hackneyed; they may be thousands of years old but seem fresh and new. They are not bad, they are not good; tropes are tools that the creator of a work of art uses to express their ideas to the audience. It's pretty much impossible to create a story without tropes.
