| I could not choose a favorite cliche ... my only question is why none of them ever appeared in canon? |

| It's a staggering question, truly. So many cliches to pick from, even the anti-cliches, and yet, none of them appeared. One wonders at it all... |

| Maybe we should trade notes. Spending years where they don't measure the snow in inches either kills you, makes you immortal, or keeps you sick a lot. I had a few winters of the sick-bit. It got old, and then I did, and the sickness stopped. Whew. |

| Thanks for the review. It's not a problem, as humour is not consistent between peoples or societies. I'd suggest some of my non-humorous stories instead (though they do have humour elements in them, it's not the point of cliche-bashing that stories like this are) -- Buttonfly or perhaps Ridiculous. If those appeal to you, you'd probably enjoy Echoes, but if they don't, you probably won't. Cheers. |

| this was different kind of liked it though, I don't really have an opinion jet. |

| No problem. My sense of humour when I'm not writing the main works is rather . . . twisted, I suppose. I'm never offended when people don't get it or don't like it, as long as they're polite about it. In your case, I'm not sure if time has made things more or less clear, but I do appreciate the review. Many of the short humor one-shots I do are driven by too much really, really bad fanfic, and my urge to make fun of it all. You might want to try the non-humorous-cliche-munching stories instead. |

| Bondage? Oh, my...I was giggling by the end of paragraph two, and I have to type this while stifling the hysterical laughter that threatens to burst forth like the flow of chocolate syrup into my bowl of M&Ms. Tasty good! |

| First, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Second, you must be a glutton for punishment, as you read both of my spoof stories in one day. Mayhaps you found the theme to both? No matter, I'm glad it was amusing to you. That was the primary objective, naturally. And watch out for the Bondage to Destiny, coming soon to a wireless near you! |

| I'm glad people found some of the ... not-so-cliche cliches ... amusing. Of course, the plot within the plot was the fun part. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. |

ROTFLMAO!
One of the best humour stories I've ever read! Very good job!
“You have not learned the patterns of Braille, Harry Potter. Therefore, you do not see the words. We do.”
“That’s right! I’m going to make you beg for mercy like a man standing in front of a customs officer holding an anal probe! You’ll fear me like sheep fear a Welsh nightclub! You’ll cower before me like a door-to-door salesman that won’t go away! And then --”
Voldemort’s evil hissing voice was suddenly cut off by a racking cough. Fumbling in his robes momentarily, Voldemort popped a Halls Menthol throat lozenge into his mouth.
Those lines just cracked me up. well, the whole text did, really!

| I'm glad you liked the parody. It was fun to write, but by the end of the beta cycle, I could no longer find the humour in it. Funny how that works. Anyway, I'm glad the reaction was so favorable. There are other one-shots lingering in my brain, and maybe someday they'll see the light of the LCD too. |

| I found this very amusing, and laughed at all the old school references as well as some of the new ones. The best part of it was the parody was so dry you almost missed it at times. Thanks for sharing! |
| Thursday 22nd March 2007 00:04 | Anti Cliché (Author Response) |
| Hmmm, I feel deeply honored. I'm glad you found many of the buried references, not to mention some of the, err, more trendy recent things in there. Although I do wonder a bit if the humour was creeping up on you unawares at times, does that mean you got the inside story too? Hmmm. Glad you liked it! |

| Tough to read....I was laughing so hard. I don't think there was one sentence I passed that didn't crack me up. There were just too many good lines, and that Next Great Adventure salesman was a perfect touch. |

| I think the most annoying door-to-door salesperson I had was this past winter holiday, when someone showed up on Dec 26 at around 8pm (really, people, I'm going to start answering my door with a baseball bat in one hand...) and the girl just refused to leave or take no for an answer. I didn't want to educate her in my more colorful vocabulary due to the audience I had at the time, but it was sorely tempting. Anyway, glad you liked it. Even if that does say something scary about you for liking everything I write. |

I did not see this story last night, which is a good thing really, since this morning began like the proverbial 800 pound gorilla stuffed in a 10 pound sack, left to twist in the wind like a cat on a hot tin roof. But after your story I am feeling way better.
Thank you. |

| The real question is whether your sack is three-ply or One-ply, as the bonding may be key. Never take a sovereign statement at face value, for there's always a pit lurking in the shadows whispering vile twists in ears. Sadly, the shadows are banished when the light goes on, and nothing ever comes out of it. But I'm glad you felt better after reading the ditty |

| I'm glad you enjoyed it. Lots of little things to add up in there, if you can catch them all. Cheers! |
