Tiermaker’s Fanfic Tropes List Maker

I dislike the color-coding defaults on this website, but you get the idea. S tier I will gladly read and reread, while D tier I tend to never even open in the first place.

I also recently came across a fun comment thread…

Feel free to check me out on AO3 for bookmarks and don’t judge me for my obvious binges into certain tropes and tags. I’m more of a reader than a writer, so send me your Trek recs on Tumblr? Currently reading mostly TOS and AOS, but marking fics for later so I can dive right in once I’ve watched the rest of the series!
