“Whenever I'm reading a book or watching a movie, I'm there in my imagination, usually as a small (6-ish feet long) dragon talking to the characters, urging them to do what I want⟳, flaming or growling at their enemies, etc. Reminds me of the role my spirit guide⟳/daemon/soulbond/imaginary friend/whatever-the-hell-he-is, Phantos, plays in my life. Except that I directly talk⟳ to Phantos, whereas the characters never really notice⟳ me.”

“6 fans (11%) did not like⟳ to specify⟳ a genre but offered an alternative view⟳ of “common tropes” in fan fiction, such as: “The tropier, the better! Werewolves or A/B/O or soulbonds or time travel⟳ or coffeeshop AUs. […]”

“This is amplified by the common use⟳ in a/b/o of the soulmate and soulbond tropes, where two characters are written as destined for each other on a biological level, resulting in near-irresistible mutual attraction and a special connection.”
