Genre Tropes
Understand and subvert genre tropes
The prompt
Tell me the essential tropes of the genre I specify. Which ones are required to satisfy audience expectations? Which ones are overdone and can be subverted? Which ones have hidden potential if done in a fresh way? How do the best works in the genre play with conventions?
How to use it
Copy the prompt, paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Perplexity, and replace anything in brackets with your own details. The more context you add about your situation, the better the answer.
