Samurai, ninja, swordsmen... Yes, the first two actually still exist. The last one is general, but really anyone who WANTS to use a sword..

[Blake]

Ichigo Kurosaaaaaaaaaki is an example of the first. Then, look at many of the Final Fantsy games. Then, assorted books and shows have that as well.

Oh yeah...

 

The only thing I can think for the second one is Yugioh 5Ds.

[DL]

Really?

 

FF7 Advent Children sure had a lot of motorcycle riding.

On topic: A cliche thats not too common anymore, but still pretty bad:

 

"All (insertwordhere) and no (insertotherwordhere)"

 

Example: "All work and no play"/"All bark and no bite" etc.

 

[spoiler=Off topic]I had another idea for a fanfic.

 

Ok you know how lots of games, and movies, and books, and et cetera have the famed Easter Eggs in them?

 

Well, what would happen if the Easter Eggs were more than meets the eye? (Ooh, another cliche!)

 

So, when two characters from different worlds see or touch or are in an Easter Egg (cause the eggs come in different shapes and forms), they would switch places! And, of course, there will be an over-arching storyline. I know that game combination threads are popping up more and more often, but still I think this is a good idea! What do you think?

Imagines: OMG, I found at easter egg! *Touches* Where the fux am I?

 

Great idea!

 

By the way, are you working on the literary device guide?

[DL]

Ooh, ooh,

 

Darklink's writing tip #50 "Don't write when drunk. You will write some messed-up things."

[---------------]

Almost. I found a list online so I can add more lit. deviced under my belt. (OMG another cliche!! :D)

[Twig]

Ooh' date=' ooh,

 

Darklink's writing tip #50 "Don't write when drunk. You will write some messed-up things."

[/quote']

 

They may be messed up, but you might end up writing some good stuff.

 

Just look at Alice in Wonderland.

[Blake]

Wonderland, as well as Huck Finn, were written while on Lead and/or Weed. The Mad Hatter is mad, due to Lead Poisoning from the old way of making hats. It's true.

[DL]

Might be good.

 

But, then again, it's just the rantings of a drunk person.

[Deustodo]

Ooh' date=' ooh,

 

Darklink's writing tip #50 "Don't write when drunk. You will write some messed-up things. But if you DO write something really good while drunk or high, remember the exactly amount of drug needed for that"

[/quote']

 

fixed.

[---------------]

Who knew you could write a good story while drunk.

 

>looks over to keg of beer. grabs it and nonchalantly leaves<

>looks over to keg of beer. grabs it and nonchalantly leaves<

 

Actually, I don't know anyone who wrote something good while drunk.

 

Alice in Wonderland was somewhat relevant because the author was high on weed(which is different from being drunk).

 

But if you can write something good while high on weed, you can probably do it while drunk. I won't be adding that tip since it's a no-brainer tip and there are some exceptions. Besides, most of YCM are kids, including me.

[DL]

Yeah, that was a bit of a joke tip.

 

Although I did lol at Deus' edit.

 

 

Writing tip #13 "Don't use an exclamation mark AND a question mark. Stick with one per sentence."

[Sploda]

Writing Tip #17 "Don't write dialog in the same paragraph. Space them out to make it easier to understand."

[DL]

Tip...

 

Fix your last posts' grammar before I die of laughter.

[Sploda]

lol, whoops.

 

Writing Tip #18 "Always double check your spelling."

[DL]

You're stealing my job ;-;

 

Darklink's writing tip #15 "Never say never. All these writing tips are just suggestions on how to make writing better, but you shouldn't take it as "never" do something.

[Deustodo]

He can't steal something that it isn't even your own work.

[DL]

It's my job. My job is to provide tips, and he's stealing my job Q.Q

[Deustodo]

If you are not getting pay, then it is not a job.

[Blake]

He was assigned that job by Twig. It's a VOLUNTEER Job.

[Twig]

Both of you can do tips. >.<

 

Atman is, I think, writing the guide for literary devices, while I write about cliches. I need someone to write a guide for Mary Sues.

[DL]

I have no experience with Mary Sues, as they are VERY common in anime/manga, thus I will proabbly screw up.

 

Plus, I like my tips.
