3: Any guilty pleasures (books/fics)?

Book-wise, I like Miss Marple short stories by Agatha Christie, and as far as audiobooks, I like Complete Steel/The Stately Home Murder by Catherine Aird. I know them by heart, I’ve read/listened to them over and over.

Anglophilia. A British man in a nice suit is a weakness. I like some British accents. Tea, trains. I never go to the cinema, but I saw the first Kingsman movie and a few of the Bond movies in the cinema because of that weakness.

Mommy kink/Daddy kink shouldn’t be as intriguing as it is. Ditto for pet play. But c’est la vie!

12: Which trope would you absolutely abolish?

I’m not in the business of telling other people what they shouldn’t enjoy. I will say I saw something on vulgarweed’s tumblr about a hundred years ago, a post about poly relationships, and it made me re-visit in my mind the whole jealousy trope. I still like it and I still write it, but I definitely tone it down and am careful how I portray it.

A British man in a nice suit is not a guilty pleasure, it's an essential ;)

Ha, ha, ha! If I ever make it across the pond, I want to visit Saville Row! But they probably won't let me finger the herringbone as much as I'd like!

I agree with you both about a British man in a nice suit ;) Also tea! I am with you on the trope front - there are tropes I have squicks or triggers for, but I merely avoid them.

Lovely! There seem to be quite a few of us in the world...

[luthienberen]

In such excellent company I feel quite delighted!

Umm... Yes! A British accent accompanying a suited British man is very swoon worthy. One may have changed the voice of their navigation app to a British accent, but that would be telling.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in my appreciation :)
