I always though that both good mystery and science fiction fit most of those criteria listed. Except deconstruction, which I can happily live without.
Of course, neither SF not mysteries are actually like the stories this page links to.
- eru 11y agoDeconstruction doesn't have to hit you on the head. Eg Watchmen is an enjoyable story, but also a deconstruction of its genre. The weirdest form of deconstruction is `unconstruction' (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnbuiltTrope?from=Main.UnconstructedTrope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnbuiltTrope?from...): "An unbuilt trope is a work that seems like a deconstruction but is actually the Trope Maker itself."
