Hey Pandas, What Are Some Common Tropes/Cliches You Hate??
That in order for a woman to be badass (could be good at fighting, a cop, etc.) she cannot express any smidge of femininity, and must be downright misogynistic to other women.

Massive compliments although you barely know each other, without any actions what so ever. Talk is cheap. I'm not sold.Hey Pandas, What Are Some Common Tropes/Cliches You Hate??
1) For historical fiction, actually make it about a historical event. Don’t use it as a setting for your character’s romance plot. I’ve read wayyyyy too many historical fics that just turned into a flat out romance novel. I wanna know what concentration camps were like or what it was like to live during the Irish potato famine or something like that. I do not care about a random person’s love life. That’s a different genre. 2) Mystery. Also get rid of the romance. Seriously, I just want to try to solve the murder. If the detective falls in love, it’s distracting and boring. These people can still have feelings, be human, and be relatable all without romance. Also don’t make the killer a random person you have briefly mentioned in the story. It’s become such a common pattern that I can normally figure it out based on how many times the person was mentioned and nothing else. 3) Dystopian. “The apocalypse has happened and we are all going to die.” Honestly, this could just be me hating on the genre, but it seems like every dystopian novel I’ve ever read it set after an apocalypse and the character is just trying to survive. You don’t need an apocalypse(I think. I might not understand this genre). Just give us a story about a future that is more backward and depressing than our reality. You don’t need a world ending event, just an interesting take on the future. 4) Realistic fiction, cut the high school c**p. There’s no “jock”, no “mean girl”, no “popular kid”. We are all teens just trying to get to adulthood without losing our sanity. And for goodness sake, not all of us want a romantic relationship. I know I’ve complained about the romance a lot, but I have a hard time finding books without any. I want to relate to someone my own age without having to read about their love life. If I wanted romance, I would have picked up romance. Hope this helped! Happy writing!Hey Pandas, What Are Some Common Tropes/Cliches You Hate??
That every person who is friends with someone of the gender they are attracted to is attracted to that friend, if both are single at the same time. Some of my most important friendships are with men. That does not mean they or I ever have thought about being anything other than friends.Hey Pandas, What Are Some Common Tropes/Cliches You Hate??
That every child free person hates kids. I just don't want to lose my free time

Token rep. Don't make a gay character, make a character who happens to also be gay. Also avoid making their queermess/ethnicity/etc a side note that's only mentioned so you can technically have representation. Being a minority is neither the majority of one's personality nor something that never affects them. I see both of these waaaay too much. I'd recommend having a side or main character who's identity/etc come up as minor plot points occasionally, flavoring more often, or part of a larger plot point.Show All 13 Upvotes
