Cliche meme, snurched from aelfgyfu_mead, because it looked rather fun.

Bold the clichés you have written, and italicise those you've considered writing.

Genderswap: No.

Bodyswap: Although more in an X-men, Rogue-sucks-up-someone's-brain-and-it-takes-over-for-a-while sort of way.

Drunk!fic: Hah! I was going to confidently say no, but then I remembered an X-Men fic that had it. Wolverine had to keep drinking and drinking in order to stay drunk (his healing powers neutralise alcohol, don'tchaknow).

Huddling together for warmth: Um... not that I recall. Surprising, given one of Stargate's first shippy (if you read it that way) moments.

Undercover in a gay bar: No.

Pretending to be married: I probably started writing versions of this a thousand times (particularly when I was into X-Files), but I don't think I've ever finished one.

Secretly a virgin: Eesh. So very NO.

Amnesia: I started an X-Men one where Rogue had amnesia, but never finished it. I've written canon amnesia when writing Wolverine, but I don't think that counts. I'm not wildly fond of this cliché – it seems like, when someone gets hit over the head in fiction, nine times out of ten they get amnesia.

Cross-dressing: Well, I've put Jack, Daniel and Teal'c in miniskirts and feathers, in a brief ficlet. Sam nearly broke a rib laughing.

Forced to share a bed: I vaguely remember writing a beginning, but I don't think it ever went anywhere. I'm fond of this cliché.

Aliens make them do it: *stays quiet*

Wingfic: I thought that was a Supernatural thing? I don't know. If it's what I think it is – i.e. a character grows wings – then I've briefly written Sam (Carter) and Teal'c doing just that.

Mpreg: Hee. No.

Mistakenly assumed to be gay: Yes. D'oh! For Redial's celebration of reaching 200 watchers.

Let's play truth or dare: Yes, but I think I cut it from the final story. It was kinda boring – I couldn't think up any decent dares.

Mary Sue fic: Oh how I have written this. Not recently, though.

Aphrodisiacs: *glances up at AMTDI*

Curtainfic: …Huh?

Hurt/Comfort: Such a sweeping cliché, turns up almost everywhere.

Apocalypse fic: But I still haven't finished my apocalypse_kreefic!!!

Someone has a baby: Ohhh yes.

Kidfic: I can't seem to stop myself from writing kidfic. For every fandom. Most variations (I've done 'characters as kids' and 'characters with kids', but I don't think I've done 'characters turn into kids'). I don't know why. Kids scare me.

Telepathic soulbonding: But it was on purpose as a cliché fic challenge! I never finished it.

Werewolves mate for life: If I can count Wolverines, then yes. :)

Evil Twin: Hee. No, sadly.

Talking to a Shrink: This is a cliché? No. Oh, wait... well, probably McKenzie has turned up in a fic of mine. I can't quite remember. I'm sure he's been threatened.

Hero Wrongfully Accused: Not that I recall.

Character Tortured to Secure Other Character's Cooperation: No. But I like this cliché. It's very DRAMATIC. Which I think is basically the point in using clichés: they're tropes generally because they're good storylines.


ETA: Argh! When arranging a meeting for 15 managers, it's considered only polite to inform the admin staff who're going to have to set it up! Preferably BEFORE people start arriving! *headdesk* "Dear [colleague], I feel like death, do you mind if I go home?" would have been okay, but "Dear [boss], I know my colleague isn't in and you have a meeting for 15 people, and I know it'd leave you without any admin staff, but I feel like death, do you mind if I go home?" just isn't possible.

*stiffens uppper lip and carries on*
