what is your favorite thing to see in fanfic? like favorite tropes/writing styles etc?

My favorite trope has always been sickfics or hurt/comfort storylines. Absolute favorite thing is to see characters taking care of each other 💜 Touch-starvation, too, falls in that same category. It’s for that same reason that I have a soft spot for soft omegaverse fics. I love the concept of scenting and nesting 💜

In terms of writing styles, I don’t have many comments other than I am unfortunately not much of a purple prose girlie 🥲 Writing style is the thing that can turn me off of a story the fastest, but also the thing that I find harder to quantify. Sometimes I just don’t vibe with the writing, even if I really wanted to. Admittedly, I am very picky when it comes to writing style, but I will read almost any trope under the sun if I vibe with the story!! 💜 As the saying goes, I am always one good story away from finding a new favorite trope 💜
