I Don't Think There Are Any Surprises Here...

You'd think with how long it took me to figure out what the hell was going on...actually, I took it twice because I wasn't exactly sure I knew what I was doing, and turns out I didn't. This is pretty close to how I like to write, both in fanfiction and original fic. As you can see, the familial stuff was at the bottom of the list. Comes from having no maternal instincts whatsoever.

Rank	Name

Heh. I was going to post my results, but you know, I don't know the definition of quite a few of these fanfic tropes! I really ought to know what a/b/o and "sex pollen" are before I rank them.

A/B/O Alpha beta omega - werewolf/creature terms for heirarchy. Sex pollen - you know that stuff that zapped Spock in This Side of Paradise? 'Out of your control' sort of dub/non/con stuff. You weren't in your right mind - you know?

I don't quite know what I did, but I ended up what looked like 2/3 ranked as 1 and the rest as 16, nothing else O.O

I tried to do this meme, and after about a dozen clicks, I realized I apparently only want to read porn? LOL!

But I'm 100% positive that age difference would have been at the top of my list, too, and I share your complete lack of maternal instincts.
