The amusing thing is how many of the items on their list bring to mind a great short story, or a great novel, or movie. Point being that many of them CAN be good, but usually aren't.
- mcphage 3y ago> is how many of the items on their list bring to mind a great short story That may be how so many of these ended up on this list: someone wrote a great story with an original premise, and lots of other people are like "Oh, I like that idea, I'll write my own story using a similar idea", and then editors get sick of receiving them.
- the_af 3y agoAlmost all in the list can be used in good stories. And have been used, in fact. This is a list of tropes. Tropes are neither good or bad, they just are (well, some tropes are obviously bad or outdated, but you get my meaning). Might as well claim that using words in text is bad.
