It's not enough to love our story ideas. We need to weigh their suitability as subjects for fiction, and then figure out how to go about making use of them. This means steering clear of cliché and its sappy cousin-melodrama.

Chase & Adrienne
It's the age old story. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl become best friends. Everyone around said boy and girl want them to be together. Boy and girl are aggressively oblivious to their own feelings. Naturally, the brutal reality that is high school drama causes problems between boy and girl. Long story short, this story has a very cliché premise. Read it anyway. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Enjoy!Complete
