Are you the kind of person who disappears in the middle of a party because you simply have to read the latest chapter of a fic you’ve been not-so-patiently waiting on an update for the second it’s live? Do you have a mental list of fic wips that will probably never be completed and therefore will haunt you for the rest of your life? (An unfinished Riverdale fic takes up 83% of my brain at any given time.) Well, do I have a quiz for you! I one time paid for airplane wifi simply so I could read The Hunger Games fic. Why didn’t I just download them so I could read offline? Great question, and unfortunately I cannot remember if there is a valid answer, but I’m sure there was not. Anyway, if you can relate to that unhinged behavior, then once again, this quiz is for you. Do you embody the gentle energy of a coffeeshop AU? The chaos of a crossover? The scintillating push and pull of a hurt/comfort fic? Take the quiz to find out! And drop your hottest fic trope takes in the comments.
