    Fanfic is rife with tropes and Memetic Mutation. Some plots are so embedded in the collective consciousness of netizens everywhere that no fandom is complete without them, despite general disdain for them—Mister Seahorse, for example, or Gender Bender—or even their relevance to the source material, e.g. Aliens Made Them Do It.

    This trope comes in two general flavours:

    1. Universal plots that are unusually popular within a particular fandom or pairing, for whatever reason.
    2. Plots which only work within a particular fandom or pairing and are incredibly common there.

    As with everything to do with fanfiction, Sturgeon's Law applies.

    A Sub-Trope of Fandom Tic. Can result from a fandom's Fanfic Fuel. Sailor Earth and The Ship's Motor are subtropes of this. Compare Common Crossover.
