“Clumsy” YA protagonist tripping: has time to ponder life, the universe and everything and her math homework, as well formulating detailed mushy thoughts about the rugged romantic interest, is shocked by rare event of tripping/slipping, and is caught by aforementioned rugged romantic interest a half second before hitting the ground. 

Me, very clumsy wench who trips, slips, or has an ankle go out on a daily basis for no reason: thwomps on the ground, no thoughts but protecting elbows and scrambling to drop as little as possible. 

I just don’t understand having all that time to think in the 2 seconds it takes to fall down.

YA Tropes

All right, my little darlings, I have this idea for a book that I am not quite sure I can pull off. But we shall see.

What are your best/worst YA tropes?

We all know the big ones; Chosen one, Unknown identity (princess? queen? duchess of bitch-town?) Love Triangles, Plain BUT (ugh) pretty when her “glasses are taken off”, Sudden discovery of powers... and the smaller ones; mirrors, holding of breaths, blooming etc.

So, what are your most hated/loved? I want the Good, the Bad- but not the Ugly anti-diversity ones. We all know them and just don’t need ‘em.
