I think a lot about genre expectations when I write and how those expectations are instantiated in the stories I read.
When everybody uses the same tropes the same way (conflict is always physical, the MC has exceptional agency, the universe is always completely rational and misconceptions never bite you in the butt), that leaves spaces for me to work in. To imagine stories that respect the tropes but twist them in different ways.
