I've posted something that may be of interest: A discussion of small tropes and themes that throw me out of a story by ringing false to me (examples: comparing a cock to a lollipop during a blow-job scene, or a character not knowing whether they've spoken something out loud or just thought it). I'd really like other readers to chime in with their opinions, and so have a bunch of small polls and a call-out for other people's odd themes and tropes. :-)
