Christmas Fic Trope List: This or That

 I love a good, mildly cheesy romance. If you've read any of my fics, I'm sure this shocks you. 

I mean, I have my limits (eg. I love the movie Letters to Juliet, but I cringe every time I hear that last line); but I love a good Hallmark romance movie, Netflix movie or books I can buy for like $5 on my Kindle and read in maybe an hour. 

There's always so many more of them at Christmas, with their own tropes that come with them. I thought it could be fun to have a go at writing one, but have other people (ie you reading this) pick the tropes that the story employs. 

You get to pick ONE (either green or blue) from each row of the list below. Fill in the Google Form here

My hope is obviously to have this finished to post around Christmas. 

But Real Life just handed me this big change, which is going to take up a lot of time and energy, so if I'm not going to finish it in time, I'll save it for Christmas 2022. 

Want to do this yourself, but maybe want to use different tropes than what I picked? TV Tropes is your go-to!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I hope everyone has a happy holiday.

I'm thinking of my Grandad today, and know a lot of my friends will be thinking of people they've lost this year, so I'm sending good thoughts out to everyone.

Be safe, be happy, and tell me what you got for Christmas!

Just in case anyone's interested, here's what I got:

1. Season 1 of Gilmore Girls on DVD
2. Season 1 of SMASH on DVD
3. The Rescuers Down Under (Disney) on DVD
4. A Bug's Life on DVD
5. iTunes
6. A cinema gift card
7. A milkshake maker
8. A Vase/candle thingy.
9. Chocolate
10. A bag
11. A bracelet
12. Pajamas

I think that's all!

Also, a very Happy Birthday to the amazing Jemma Rix, who turns 28 today! And really, if I have to explain who that is, I don't know you people.

A very Wicked Christmas!

So, I don't know how many people read this, but even if I'm just talking to cyberspace, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Lurlinemas, Hanukkah, whatever holiday you celebrate!

I also want to wish the wickedly amazing Jemma Rix a very happy birthday! Even being in Singapore, I hope you have an amazing day, get to spend it with family and friends, and get spoiled rotten!
