Alas, so true.

I do think you should update it though, I was thoroughly amused - especially when I had to sigh, point at some of my stories and admit to myself that I too abuse the old clichés.

Also, are you still allowed to write cliches? Or are these things now being blackballed.

Well, I'm not sure whether this classifies as a DG cliche, but so many fics I read have Lucius Malfoy portrayed as Lord Voldy part II and Narcissa Malfoy as either this submissive woman stuck in a loveless relationship or a cold heartless witch who deserves a place next to Lord Voldy Part II. Ooh! I personally love the ones where Ginny is taken by Death Eaters for some reason and Draco is either in the jail cell with her or especially nice to her (sending her food, clothes, eventually freeing her, etc.)

Draco realizing Ginny is hot is not so far off considering the Hogwart's Express scene in Half Blood Prince with Zabini. And I'm sure I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again: Dude! You totally missed the, "Suddenly bumped into something big and hard -- it was Draco Malfoy!" cliche.

ahh miss maybeseptemberxx

I had a similar idea for a fic as yours here

you've done it well!!

Here's another cliche I'm sure you know well...

goes along the lines of this

"Ginny stared at glanced at her watch and swore lightly under her breath. /late for Snape's class again!/ she thought. Not watching where she was going as she hurriedly took her homework from her bag - she rounded a corner and walked straight into Malfoy!"

ohhh sexy sexy malfoy

D/G cliches FTW. You're so right though, it makes me laugh. Well done! =D

Don't forget that the twins play some prank on Draco and then approve of him. Or, that the twins are the closest to Ginny and the only ones to really accept after her first year...

Bumping into each other in the halls. It's appalling, really, how often it happens in D/G fics. I always find myself surprised when even good fics have it.

Maybe you should have put in that these clichés are the ones that apply for Hogwarts era fics. I prefer reading post- Hogwarts fics and none of the things in your list are clichés (except the Malfoy is a sex god thing, that one does seem to be inescapable). They are however very true for Hogwarts era fics.

Ah the dirty little not-so-secret fantasies of DG Fan Girls and their cliches! The only one that I find truly annoying is the perma-impassive mask that Draco never lets slip and only Ginny can see through. If someone were so continually blank in the face, eventually people would cease to comment on it. But I've read fics where is appears and it noted by the 'speaker' in every other sentence! Argh, the guys has facial muscles and eventually (even if against his will) they HAVE to move!

LOL I thought they were right on target, especially number 10, but it is common sense, because they are the older and wiser brothers.

hahaha......i have to admit that a LOT of these are very true. i notice them too sometimes. i think as long as the fic is well-written, then the author can usually hide it well.

You know, now that I think about it, you're right. These are all cliche, and it's hard to resist the pull to use them.

I agree with every single one of these. Although the Draco Sex God one is totally necessary, I mean come on! He's hot!
