Cliche #1, weighing in at 694 words.

Cliches abound

Because Ces pretty much demanded it, I had to write it. *g*
479 words, two pairs of breasts, one cave, no penises.
Also my first attempt at writing an all-dialogue story. Here goes...

ADMIN POST: ***CLICHÉ CHALLENGE EXTENDED***

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

Due to popular demand! (and the really very rich nature of this week's Cliché Challenge), I am extending the challenge deadline by a week and a day.

All stories for the Cliché Challenge will now be due by Sunday night, August 10th, at midnight.(Thanks to cmshaw for finding the acute e!)

Also: there has been some question as to whether or not the "floating" deadline is working, i.e. whether we like that the story deadline shifts days of the week. Originally, I thought it was a good thing in that it accounted for different people's writing and internet habits--some people write on the weekends, some people prefer the weekdays, etc.--and figured that nobody would be unfairly advantaged that way. But the idea that the floating deadling is merely confusing, i.e. nobody ever knows exactly when the deadline is, has been raised to me. So could y'all give me a shout out about this? Do we:

a) leave things alone! It ain't broke, don't fix it, and I like our wild freewheeling ways! Plus I can't tell time!

or

b) fix the challenges so that, say, they're always due midnight on Sunday. (I think Sunday night would be the most reasonable time for this, but I'm willing to be talked into some other night if there's a rationale I'm missing.) That way I always know how much time left I have to get my entry in!

Anyway, please pop into the comments or send me an email to let me know what you think about this, ok? TYK.

Well I was asked several times for more, so here's a bit more. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to write yet another one because even after 974 words, I still haven't gotten to the sex.... Poor Ray.... ;D

Ummm.

Clearly there is some weird sort of Jedi mind-flu going around, because I started this story this morning, without having read any of the others to which it bears a striking resemblance. Anyway.

( 919 words, all of which are silly. Apologies to ... everyone.* )

* except Ces. It's all her fault.

I dove into Cliché #11 so deep, I think I cracked my skull on the bottom.

This fracture generated somewhere between 949-960 words, depending on which word counter I choose to believe, and the finished product was betaed by alexsisterwolf. jonesiegirl provided some last minute fact-checking.
