Description:

A series of stories that explore the literary tropes common to Harry Potter fanfiction. Some tropes will be played straight. Others may be subverted or even mocked outright. These stories won't be interconnected or part of the same continuity unless I say otherwise (for specific stories).

Notes:

A trope is a storytelling device or convention, a shortcut for describing situations the storyteller can reasonably assume the audience will recognize. Tropes are the means by which a story is told by anyone who has a story to tell.
Tropes are not the same thing as cliches. They may be brand new but seem trite and hackneyed; they may be thousands of years old but seem fresh and new. They are not bad, they are not good; tropes are tools that the creator of a work of art uses to express their ideas to the audience. It's pretty much impossible to create a story without tropes.
