beagoldfish | Prompt: On Thursdays We Try Tropes

Welcome back, fish friends! Feeling friendly? Say hello to week five of Be a Goldfish: A Multifandom Multimedia Microbang! Week four was another winner: jam-packed with fun, friendship, and throwback fanworks, from childhood favourites to the first fandoms that inspired you to create! We're nearly halfway through Be a Goldfish, and there's still so much to look forward to: exciting prompts, a monthly roundup from mod Vinny, a February comment crawl, and more.

Presently we are fewer than 10 works away from a milestone 100: will you help us get there before the end of January? Create, create, create! Here's a prompt to keep you swimming:

WEEK FIVE: On Thursdays We Try Tropes Get back to fannish basics: create a work inspired by a trope, or mix it up and do a trope inversion. Check out TV Tropes, this List of Tropes, or Multifandom Tropefest for inspiration.

Feel free to brainstorm, discuss, make friends, or let us know what you're cooking up in the comments here or on tumblr. We're excited to see what you create. Stay curious!
