casualbirdtaking cues from coyoteclaw11, i decided to try ellimist's trope sorter! it was really fun--i sped through +- 150 questions in a hot minute.
maybe i'll use this as inspiration to write some fic!
results below!!!
1. Snowed-In Cabin/Isolated Together For Extended Period of Time
that's some good ust shit to be Quite Honest With You. i'm also very fond of road trips and other forced-proximity scenarios.
2. Unusually Specific Occupation AU, Like, The Author Clearly Has The Same Job
'cause then you feel like you're learning something!
3. Loyalty Kink
don't even @ me about this one
4. Found Families
sometimes the real family was the fic we read along the way
5. 'Falling For A Coworker/Teammate Is A Bad Idea' Except This Is Fiction So It Works Out
don't @ me about this one either
and the bottom five!
33. Selfcest (possibly due to time travel)
i just don't get the appeal.
34. Hogwarts AU
jk rowling is really souring the hp milk for me right now. but it's not a concept i actually dislike. i don't think i've ever read one i liked.
35. Vampires/Werewolves AU
i never got into this sort of thing--though i really don't have anything against it conceptually!
36. Daemons
again, not a bad concept! i've just never read the golden compass, so i don't really get it.
37. 'Everyone is Evil'/Mirrorverse AU
okay, this is one i actually don't like. sue me.
one thing--i've never actually read a pride and prejudice au, so it didn't turn up in my top five, but that concept is right the fuck up my alley.

I think this is the far more manageable option--I tried to read the book once, and the prose was dense like a pound cake. But then I always find it hard to read fiction over 100 years old-- from before the invention of pacing, I say. Movie's good.

Too true about the old fiction, I thought it's just me... Some books are still readable, e.g. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. I remember I had tried reading something by Jane Austin, but couldn't get through more than a few pages.

Yes!! It's rly interesting reading something so oddly specific from someone who's obvsly rly knowledgeable about it! It's like sitting in a class where the teacher is obviously so passionate about the subject and will often go off on further tangents about it (and it's always more interesting than the assigned learning dfghj)
