Because there are few things I love more than cliches...

[annerbhp]

Come on over and join the fun at dayofindulgence!  There's still a month to come up with a fic for this year's challenge.

Cliche Fic Meme, with a few extras added by me. (Mostly from that cliche poll I ran back a while back.) Bold the cliches I've done and italicize the ones I've considered, or started, or something.

Briefing table porn is always a must (also, I should do this meme, I bet it would be highly embarrassing)

[annerbhp]

Not more embarrassing than my 180,000 cliche OPUS of doom, Mary Sue and all. I'm just saying.

I would love to see your cliche fic (though, honestly, with the sheer amount of fic you have written, how can you possibly keep track?)

[lyssie]

Awww. That tops my LotR Mary Sue! Drat.

I would actually have to delve into Sam/Jack for some of those, too. (because, dude, Kara and Sam are ALWAYS drunk) And I can't keep it all straight, but I can at least go, "hrm, wasn't that fic about...?"

[annerbhp]

My Mary Sue brings all the boyz to the yard.

So the BSG cliche would have to be Sam and Kara having sex while sober? There must be like...viper porn or something though, right? The equivalent to briefing table porn.

[morjana]

Interesting.

Okay, I have to ask (because I won't be able to sleep tonight if I don't ask...), but what are these type of fics? (And I have checked several online fan fiction dictionaries, and these terms weren't found)...

1) Wingfic? Uhm...the characters actually have wings? Or something else?

2) Mpreg? Not a clue...

Now, about the 'Cross-dressing' theme. One of my favorite Star Trek K/S short stories involved KIRK cross dressing on shore leave and "accidentally" running into Spock. (And I wish I could remember either the name of the story and/or the author, but I can't. And I had to sell my fanzines several years back.) I've always wanted to write a Daniel cross dressing short story...

[annerbhp]

Haha. Don't you love it when you feel like you're learning an entire second language, just to be able to communicate in fandom? Lol. Wingfic, as I understand it, has something to do with characters growing wings. or something. To be honest, I am not all that clear. Anyone?

But Mpreg? Male Pregnancy. You can see how that is just cliche GOLD. :D

[morjana]

Oh...Male pregnancy. LOL! Thank you.

[lyssie]

1) Characters have wings. Either they're grafted on (Kellifer wrote a Daniel fic where a goa'uld gave him wings iirc), gifted in some magical way, it's an AU and the character was born with them, or something to that effect.

Or everyone's angels. I think. (why are there never people who spontaneously turn into cherubim? Think of the wacky potential in all those eyes and wings, people!)

[katcorvi]

My gods, how on earth or Dakara was the ball fic left out of the list? You must add it and you get the satisfaction of crossing it off your list, too.

[annerbhp]

Hahah. You want me to add dancing to the list? As you wish. ;)

[katcorvi]

Dancing and ball gowns with no backs and glorious expanses of porcelain skin to tempt Jack. Yes, I do wish! *g* Thank you.

[shutthef_up]

Hmm, I think practically everything I've written is one cliche or another.

Which... hey, I happen to love most cliches!

[annerbhp]

Well, there's a reason they're cliches, right? Man, there are some cliches I love so much that I will forgive almost anything to read it. :D

[shutthef_up]

You know, I *just* realized that surreallis was giving me an either/or poke.

I thought I was going to have to write Mary Sue RPF porn and I was kinda... freaked. I mean, I probably *could* but... scary.

Then I realized that she meant I could write an actual *fictional* fannish piece.

Meh, I've already started on the whole Mary Sue/RPF (with no names) but I can skip the pr0n.

I *think*

Phew!

[annerbhp]

Hahah. I must admit, Mary Sue, smutty RPF takes it all to a whole new level. Lol. But that's the whole point, right?

[pepper_field]

Character Tortured to Secure Other Character's Cooperation: In a way.

You also did it in String Theory. I remember because it made me sad.

Oh, I so want you to write a baby farm fic. Hee!

[annerbhp]

Oh yes! How could I forget? Poor Jason and Sam. I iz a mean fangirl. God, I am just really interested to see if I could make a baby farm fic actually work and not be crack. Is it possible? I must find out.
