Top Ten Most Abused Lines and Ideas for a Chlollie Fic:

10. Chloe Getting Pregnant

9. Chloe Actually Joining the League on the Field

8. Clark Suddenly and Inexplicably Being In Love With Chloe

7. Chloe Moving to Star City

6. Comparison of Oliver to Jimmy That Bashes Jimmy Unnecessarily

5. Oliver's Abnormally Huge...ego

4. Chloe in a Green Dress

3. Her "Golden Hair Sprawled Out Like a Halo"

2. Green Silk Sheets

1. His "Adonis" Body


10. I don't have a huge problem with this because it IS a fairly acceptable plot device, and recently it's been happening less and less in stories, but in the beginning there, it seemed like Chloe was popping out babies left and right in our stories. Poor woman.

9. Again, not a huge problem, but we do all have to admit that it seems fairly out of character for Chloe to be breaking into the secret labs alongside the JL. It sort of defeats her purpose as Watchtower if you ask me...which none of you did, but oh well.

8. I just wish that when our writers suddenly decide that Clark is going to fall for the girl next door whose been there since he was a kid, they'd give a slightly better explanation. Poor Clark. I just want to see some lead up! What changed his mind? What made him start noticing her in a different light?

7. This one's not really that bad, it just seems to happen a lot. Similar to Baby-Maker Chloe.

6. Hi. I liked Jimmy. He was a great character, and while he was--pardon the expression--no Superman, he was very good to Chloe and cared about her a lot. What is it with all these descriptions of him as "not being worthy of touching Chloe?" and the like. I don't know. I just feel it's unnecessarily harsh.

5. Right...We know what I'm talking about. Let's be realistic, ladies. This makes me roll my eyes every time it happens.

4. I'm fine with it. Really. The girl looks good in green. She just wears A LOT of green in fanfiction. It's funny. You'd think she didn't own anything else.

3. Most overused description EVER!

2. Am I the only one who thinks Oliver having green silk sheets would be extremely tacky? Yes? No? Maybe?

1. Less abused than the halo line, technically, but makes number one on my list because it's more noticeable than the halo bit. Let's get creative. Someone compare him to Edward Cullen or something! (Oh my god, please don't. I was kidding.)


Haha, okay, now that I've got that off my chest, I just want to make sure no one thinks I am bashing a specific writer or story. I'm not. I'm also aware that I have probably breached a couple of my own cliches by now anyway. Mostly this was for a laugh, because, really, what fun are flaws if we can't laugh at them? Plus, I'm curious to see who agrees or disagrees with what.

As always, I enjoy writing for all of you, and I hope no one minds that I wrote a 'story' that's really more like one giant Author's Note.
