The Trope Thesaurus : An Author Resource Guide

4.75★
I think that this is a great companion to 7 figure fiction by T. Taylor. I think layering tropes and having those tropes match Universal Fantasies, which most do, is a very strong plan. I love that she goes through multiple genres, not just romance here. I'm a little sad that she didn't include a Horror breakdown but the tropes are usable for that genre too. I'd still have loved to see differences there.
I also think this is a good starting place to start building a longer list of tropes and Universal fantasies for yourself. Because I think this is a good starting place but not the be all end all. Especially with specific subgenres and adding in those reader expectations as you get into mashups etc.
But this is a great tool and really gets you thinking. I also like that she included her personal questionnaire for when she is building her outline!
