Ok, this needs addressed, and it needs addressed now.

Since we got our whole banned cliche list, we haven't seen too many problems; that is, except for one.

People don't seem to realize: Hyper-realistic and all of its variants are NOT ALLOWED IN YOUR WRITING. You're told to read the Site Rules. The Blacklisted subjects are in the Site Rules. Said list has the list of banned cliches linked to it up top. And best of all, the Site Rules are in a TABBED. VIEW. So there is no excuse as to why you couldn't read them.

So far, I've encountered somewhere between 3-5 stories in the past 2 weeks, give or take, containing banned cliches.

It is not our job to do your creativity. Stories I find with banned cliches will be deleted. If it isn't a bad number of cliches, I'll drop a link to pastebin in the reason box.

Cliches ruin the story almost immediately. Please don't put them in your work.

Cliches are evil. Bad, Bad, cliches.
