Tropes #1

What kind of trope have I not got around to trying my hand at but would like to?


The thing about tropes is that they're basically clichés and I try really hard not to fall back on them. On the other hand, they can be super fun to write. Especially given the right setting and characters. I think the one I haven't tried but in my secret heart of hearts want to try is the Sex Pollen idea. I don't know why. Maybe it stems from my love of Star Trek and I just want to pay homage? That could be a really fun trope to play with. Or the Zombies trope. Hey... Maybe I could throw sex pollen in with zombies.
