    Hey all! Here's another question; What's your favorite trope? Have you ever used this trope in your writing?

    NICE!!!

    I love destroying Tropes by doing the complete opposite. In a lot of stories which involve Elves, they're woodland creatures, noble and good and this is one of my most favourite ones to break.

    I've got Elves in Ironbound... Sort of. Except they're not Woodland creatures and they're most definitely not noble or good, they're pirates. That's right, they roam the seas/stars and take what they want. They're also superstitious of forests and if their captain ordered them to find wood for repairs, they would skirt the edge first looking for fallen logs/trees before even thinking about venturing inside.

    Has anyone watched Star Trek Discovery? I'm a huge fan of Tilly, especially Mirror Universe.

    I am a fan of inverted tropes also, and breaking tropes, though I'm not sure I do it in my writing. Some of my favorite pieces of stories mess with or invert tropes.

    I guess I use a lot of inverted tropes then Dude in Distress (Action Girls because they're the ones doing the saving-of course it's sometimes girls saving girl as in the case for Leah Haas and Sara Wendy Grant when Selene was a bit tied up).

    @simscognito Sara Wendy were named for characters of Sara from The Little Princess and Wendy Darling from Peter Pan.

    I should've added an example. Haha. The two that come to mind are Shrek and Mega Mind, since I recently rewatched them. I'm not sure where inverted tropes show up in my SimLit.

    @MadameLee Oh yeah, I like Ariel.

    What about Anastasia? Non Disney of course.

    Fiona in Shrek. :)

    As for more inverted tropes, I'm a fan of Gregory MacGuire's Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister and Wicked.

    @LegacySims2017 Oh yes, I think I was the rare soul who voted for Hope to be the gen heir. I liked Juju too.

    Did you snag my Sim selfie? For future generations? No worries if you didn't. My library is a little wonky. Plus I've made edits to her.

    I voted for Hope, too. :grimace:
    I most likely did. But I can always check for updates. I'll be happy to fit you into Gen 5. Gen 3 I already have the four female sim selfies picked out: @friendsfan367 , @SoulGal7 , @EuphorialQueen , and @Karilan . Gen 4 is the boys turn. I have @simscognito , @Munterbacon , and 2 SimGuru sim selfies plugged.

    There are a lot of female sim selfies in this SimLit group. Not so much of the guys. But I have quite a bit of sim selfie dudes from the forums in general. Maybe once they are tagged and visit us over here, they'll stay and become a part of our group.

    I'll upload my updated Simself and let you know, @LegacySims2017. No worries. I can be patient. I can check with my brother in law. He has a Simself in TS4, but he doesn't have the game. He plays on mine. And he's fairly private... like he's not active in the forums or story writing, but he might be ok if I share through my account... if you're cool with that.

    On the subject of inverted tropes, does anyone think they're any instances where it's overdone?

    I link to profiles on the forums, so he would have to be okay with me linking to it. I see it as free advertising for members. :grimace:
    Again, I do have enough males, but would be happy to include him if he's okay me linking to his forum profile. I can download the sim from anywhere (such as your gallery page).
