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! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

This is probably obvious from my recs in past posts, but:

I am a sucker for fluff and WAFF-y things (witness the holiday-themed drabbles). Whether friendly or romantic, it doesn't matter, I like fic that leaves me with warm fuzzies.

I also love getting peeks at authors' headcanons while reading fic. Some of my favorite things tend to be canon AU/divergences/retellings from another perspective, so it's always fun seeing how people fill in the gaps. Extra points if the author branch out from the generally accepted fanon in their interpretation.

I do also like crossovers/fusions. Having had fun talking with friends about which Hogwart's Houses certain characters would be in, or who their godly parent/ancestor would be if they were at Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter, it's also fun seeing other authors' ideas on the same.

When it comes to shippyfic, I'm very un-kinky. I'm not too fond of things that get too stereotypical-romance uber-saccharine, but then again fics that focus mostly on sex aren't quite my thing, either, anymore. :/ It probably says a lot about me that my taste in pro romance novels leans more towards Jane Austen than the Bronte sisters or more modern romance authors.
