Cliches Everywhere
It's been two months since I joined AFF and I must say that I was fascinated by all of the authors out there. ^.^
Some wrote so well and beautiful that I feel like crawling at the corner of my room but some wrote randomly until the fic became meaningless-- not that it was bad but seriously, if the plot went wrong then how can the readers understand the fic?
There's one thing that irritates me though... -__-
What's with the cliche things???!!
Well, I'm not saying that writing cliche fics are illegal-- sometimes I write cliche fics too-- but sometimes writers tend to write an extremely cliche story that everyone can predict with closed eyes. If a writer wrote a predictable story then where's the fun in reading? In a story, there must be at least one mystery to be solved. I'm not saying that I'm the best judge out there but I found at least 5 fics that have the same plot and cliche moments and they are bad. Really bad. I don't even remember who wrote it but I think even the author feels the same.
I'm really looking forward to authors who could write beautiful, non-cliche fics that would make me cry.
I've found a few great authors and I'm loving their fics ^.^
Before I end my post, here's a list of cliche stuff in fics and dramas that I've watched or read so far:
Dropping things and accidentally touched someone's hand
Bumping into each other and almost falling down but was saved by the hero
Parents died from an accident
Sitting in a bus and fell asleep on someone's shoulder (I think this is a trademark for korean dramas -_-)
Got chased by bad guys and was saved by the hero
Poor girl, rich boy and vice versa
A hero who loves a loser or geek
Popular hero an a nobody heroine (I'm sick of this plot -_-)
etc. (I can't remember all of them so if you have any cliche stuff you wanna add, please inform me : ) )
Adding a few cliche stuff is okay as long as you can make the story interesting. I've found a few cliche fics but I didn't hate them because the authors were so good at using beautiful words and phrases that the stories became flawless.
That's all from me, I guess ^.^
Sincerely, Myeongsss.
