RosieCheeks:
I would hate to think that a author might amend a story, or indeed did not post a story, as it contained cliches that other highly thought of authors here on LSF did not like, for fear of criticism of its content (not suggesting such comments would be made, but fear of can be enough).
Oh, I hope not. I meant the thread to be all in fun!
And in any case, for every cliche that usually drives me mad, there's always someone who will write a story where it works beautifully.
