#WritersCoffeeClub 12/16. Any writing tropes you dislike?
Oh, yeah.
I write Wolf Shifters, and that horrible, horrible Alpha trope is something I avoid. It's scientifically wrong (wolf packs are basically families, nothing more), it's all too often extremely misogynist, and mostly toxic. Not something I want in books I write or read.
I also hate the "denigration turns me on" trope. It just... irks me so much. Yeah, it exists, I get it. But consent matters and this...ugh.
