🔒 🐠 Supporter Episode! Trope Breakdown: Fish out of Water

Wish I'd Known Then . . . For Writers

Subscriber-only episode

In this supporter-only episode, Jami and Sara discuss one of the most popular tropes, Fish out of Water. They "dive" (see what we did there?) into why the trope is popular across all genres, the plot elements of the Fish out of Water trope, and how several different Fish out of Water subtypes can be layered into a single story.
Then, because Sara loves a list and Jami humors her, they run through subtypes of the trope and list examples from popular entertainment, including:

• Different/Foreign Location
• Tech
• Time Travel
• Expert/Novice
• New powers
• Rich/Poor
• Plus many more . . .
