Category:Tropes

From IFWiki

Tropes are familiar devices, styles, and conventions in literature, movies, and even IF. The audience gets used to and expects some of these recurring patterns, and the use of tropes can make an author's task easier. However, if a trope is used too often, it becomes a cliché.
