Snowflake Challenge 2018 - Day 10


[community profile] snowflake_challenge 

Day 10: In your own space, share your love for a trope, cliché, kink, motif, or theme. (Or a few!) Tell us what makes it work for you, and why it appeals to you so much. Talk about what you like to see in fanworks featuring that theme most. Feel free to include recs and examples!

I'm reading a lot of different kinds of fics. I don't really have an OTP, even though I have favourite pairings in the fandoms I read. So I don't have a special trope etc. that I'm searching for, but why I enjoy reading Bandom-fics so much might be because of the band-, gang-, friendship-group thing. Friends to lovers, pining, getting together, found families - these are a lot of the themes going on that I enjoy reading. I like humour, fluff and happy endings, but if it gets too sweet and loved-up I might cringe.
 
I feel very lucky to have found a lot of brilliant authors that I follow on AO3, and I'm still discovering new ones, so I won't run out of fic to read in the forseeable future.

Oh yes, I get what you mean about bandom and the gang. I enjoy that a lot, too.

I completely agree with you. I love stories that explore the whole team/band/gang/friendsgroup thing!
