    Is this character's name a cliché?

    In a story I'm currently working on, the main characters are a group of kids who are psychic in various different ways, and are in hiding. The female lead can see the future; alas, not very well, not even bearing in mind how quickly it can alter. I tried to make her as un-Mary-Suish as possible-...

    Cliche: Fox news is a joke, correct or incorrect?

    do you think FOX news is as bad as many people believe? Or do you think slamming them is a bandwagon trend? (lol prob not the best explanation but I hope you understand what i am talking about..)

    Is the Chosen One considered a bad cliche now?

    Just curious. In a book I have been thinking about writing I have debated adding in a Chosen One - although it wouldn't be just one as such, it would be many chosen people. Do you believe this to be too cliche?

    Character help? I dont want to be cliche!?

    hia ^ ^ Well, im in the process of writing a story but I have a little problem. Lately, every book I've read the guy the girl is supposed to fall for is kind of cliche. It's the typical YA paranormal boy. Brooding, dark-haired, and tortured inside by something he can't share till the second half...

    How can I make this not sound so cliche?

    This has all taught me that you can never let your guard down, and you have to stay positive and try your hardest until the very end. I'm talking about losing a volleyball game because we let our guard down. What I mean is: Everything in that sentence has been used billions of times, and I...

    Freelance writing - is this powerful or too cliche? Is this worth publishing?

    He says he doesn't love me anymore, and he doesn't think he is going to again. He broke up with me. I refuse to believe it. I don't give up! I don't. I trusted him with everything. There's no way he can leave me. I could never see myself any happier than that. No more "big" and "little." I'm...
