What is a fanfiction trope?

A trope is a recognizable story setup, theme or relationship pattern. Coffee shop AUs, enemies to lovers, fake dating, soulmates and hurt/no-comfort are common examples in fanfiction.

Does the trope quiz score your taste?

Only playfully. The score shows how many tropes you recognized, not whether your preferences are good, bad or unusual. Fandom is broad because readers enjoy different combinations.
