Trope bingo again!

[vilakins]

I'm doing trope_bingo again as it was responsible for about half the fic I wrote last year, and made me write things I wouldn't normally have.

Here's my card. Strangely, unlike last time, I've already written the majority of these over the years. I'll have to try to avoid as many of those as I can or think up new twists. At first glance I think I'll go for one of the three rows branching from the top right corner as they seem to contain a decent number of untried tropes.

power dynamics	forbidden fruit	holidayfic	au: college / highschool	language and translation
rivals to lovers	time travel	mind games	futurefic	fork in the road
telepathy / mindmeld	hurt / comfort	FREE ★ SPACE	curtainfic	fake relationship
soul bonding / soulmates	sex pollen	celebratory kiss	au: fairy tale / myth	presumed dead
au: fusion	epistolary	au: supernatural	character in distress	kidfic

Oho, looks fun! Is it hard to get ideas for how to use the tropes, or do they just spring into being straight away?

[vilakins]

Both of those; it depends on the trope.

Sign up! [evil grin]

Ooh, you eager recruiter you! I meant fun for you, my fic-writing is practically non-existent. Unless I get a really good idea... like from a bingo square... and life doesn't go all to heck and prevent me doing anything... well, you're turned me around from "Of course not," to "maybe possibly," so we'll see. I'd love to do more creative things this year.
