Fic tropes list version 1

[telophase]

Here's my preliminary cataloging of the fic tropes in rachelmanija's cool bits post. The categories are ... yuck, right now, as is my categorization, but when you're going through a list of over 500 elements, it's amazing how often you're confronted with something that is extrememly hard to decide if it's plot, character, dramatic imagery, sensation, or what. And for some reason I ended up slinging all the language stuff into 'sensation' when it doens't belong there at all. Hm. Thoughts and suggestions quite welcome.

Next logical step: add more of everything, then steal dragonscholar's generator code and make a Crack!Manga generator. *iz tempted*

Oh, sure, wolves as the occasional howl heard at night beyond the campfire is a totally different element from a wolf companion.
