Fanfic cliches

I think that's why I couldn't get into Oreos; I don't like the blatant Anti-Sues either.  Or that love/hate stuff where they hate each other at the beginning and then end up falling in love.  Gag.  (Not in all cases, but that one did nothing for me.)

nicksgal:
I tried very hard to make it through most of it... But I've basically given up.... Those Anti-Sues may as well be Mary Sues these days...

Arg, that's annoying, because it's so painfully obvious who the girl will end up with.

Nijntje:
*feels sad because she uses clichés as well*

I really do hope though that PF (Prevailing Fate) is much more than a story with a cliché storyline.. :(

Rose:
Nijntje it's fine to use cliches as long as you don't use too many and you try to put a new spin on them.

I did do the girl meets a BSB by chance thing, but I also made her a bit overweight, glasses and basically not perfect looking...not that confident, but she has her pros too. Then kept the time frame consistent. It's fine as long as you try to work it into something good. It's a challenge hehe.

I tried Oreos too by the way Julie and Dee...lol couldn't stomach it. Here I thought it was cause I'm very romance picky.

In sci fiction stories...now this a cliche thats older and not used as often, but I don't see many sci-fis anymore either. It's almost died in the BSB fanfic fandom. But having the ten destined heroes (BSB and Nsync) plus one girl who's been pulled along for the ride. Only one I saw pull it off right was Whitney, and her story The Legend was classic. But then everyone tried to do it too.

RokofAges75:
That's a good one too, Rose!
