I know I'm a little late (Totally terrible at checking DW) but I love all dorky fandom tropes! This is a pretty good spread of them too. Allow me to flail at you about fic tropes ^^

snowed in: Does this specifically have to be about snow? If they're in space they could get locked down due to cosmic rays or something?

au: all-human: Yeah, a lot of fic just seem to use HumanAU to force all the characters to go to High School or work in a coffee shop or something. Which are their own tropes really, HumanAU isn't usually the main trope of a work.

au: steampunk: Ooo. So many choices! I'm pretty sure that almost every fandom could work a steam AU. I'm picturing the Babylonian 5 Diplomatic Airship Voyage, all the strange diplomats from all the techocracys/magicocracys/theocracys meeting over high teas and grand balls.

fusion: X-Men: First Class meets Tiger & Bunny. Eeeeee~! The most important question is who is sponsored by what companies? XP

rivals to lovers: This is another pretty broad one, I'm pretty sure you could stick a pin in 50% of slash fics and come up with this one.

alpha / beta / omega: I've managed to avoid this one, I think by bailing out of the Supernatural fandom at the right time and not picking up Teen Wolf or Sherlock. I'm all for D/S dynamics but having it kinda forced on everyone skeezes me out.

locked in: Hmm, so I guess that snowed in does have to be snowed in. It's a bit of a double up though. You could find and replace your snowed in fic and probably make it passable for locked in. XP

Are you going to be in Melbourne any time soon? We should have a vid day and a general fan girl flail!
At the moment most of my internet attention has been going towards Rise of the Guardians I mean my Tumblr. ^^o
