Or the other way around: something you like to read, but don’t like to write? (Not that you struggle to write, but hate doing it at all. Even if you are good at it.)

I was pondering this question myself and hadn’t come up with too many answers. Vague ideas, like how I don’t like describing the environment, but I can enjoy a good descriptive passage in someone else’s work. On the other hand, everything I like to write I like to read.

However, I know some people don’t like reading other people’s renditions of certain tropes. I’m interested in hearing about it.

I can’t think of any genres or tropes off the top of my head which count for me, but I know there are some of those too!

    It counts! Though I also think fanfiction romance is a way different genre than original fiction romance. I think most published romance is boring, but published fantasy, sci-fi, adventure, or something else which happens to have romance in it? Already better. Then fanfiction, where the original story was already something completely different most of the time? Usually even better.

    “I’d read it if someone else wrote it” is a good one. I know there are several of those for me, I just can’t think of what they are. They exist though. Just have to remember them.
