1. Non-Cliche
Everybody hates cliche stories, cliche plots, cliche characters. So why do people think that acknowledging the clicheness of a story makes the story non-cliche? For example:
"At our school, we have the typical cheerleaders that you see in every story: tall, blonde, etc, etc. I know, right? Sooo cliche!"
Or, "The bad guy stuffed chloroform over my mouth and tossed me into his trunk. I rolled my eyes. He couldn't even think of a non-cliche way to kidnap me?!"
Or, "My best friend squealed, 'Oh my gosh, you're doing that cheesy romance thing that happens in every book! EEEK!'"
Like, seriously? Why would you a) realize your story is cliche and not do anything about it, and b) decide to point that out in the middle of your story? My advice for you is: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Describe it using less cliche words or something. A lot of authors can pull off cliche scenes extremely well. Or you could just change your entire plot. Come on, guys, use your imagination. On another note, maybe you should just try not saying anything and hoping nobody notices the clicheness of your story.
