Seen at [livejournal.com profile] penknife's and [livejournal.com profile] selenak's, I'm doing this as a meme (fancy way of saying: not my idea.)



Genderswap: I've tried, but it never went anywhere. Now I think that if I would write one, I would swap *gender* and not *sex* like most people do. Because deep down, I don't believe that besides the physical realities, sexswap would change anything. Now, transgender, that's something different. It doesn't really work for my current OTP, though, because I can't see the Doctor and the Master making much of a fuss about either sex or gender swaps.

Bodyswap: Written it, in SV From The Ruins where Clark and Lex swap bodies and it's exactly as you would expect: Clark hates Lex's life (who wouldn't?) and Lex loves Clark's body and his life. Giving Clark's body back serves as the proof for Lex's not-evilness. Also wrote it in Harry Potter: In Essence Divided in which Tom Riddle ends up with Harry's body for some time. But the plot is so complicated that I couldn't tell you now whether Harry ends up in Voldemort's body, too.
Bodyswap is genre that annoys me because you have to put so much effort in making the physical aspects convincing, and because it's so predictable.

Huddling together for warmth: Yep, written it in A Mutually Satisfying Agreement where Three, the Master and Jo huddle for warmth on Spyridon. I don't use it for the sexiness here, but to let the Doctor realise that he feels protective towards the Master. (The Doctor feels protective towards everyone, it's part of Three's considerable chauvinism, but he feels more protective towards the Master than makes sense for a villain. See "Sea Devils".)

Undercover in a gay bar!: Nope. Never really understood the appeal. You can go to gay bars without being gay or pretending to be gay.

Pretending to be married!: Um, yes, but it's anon at the moment.

Secretly a virgin!: Quite a few of my SV fics probably had either Clark or Lex as virgins, but it was never really the main point. Oddly, none of my D/M fics have them virginal except in the "first time in this body" sense.

Amnesia: Endgame which is actually "pretending to have amnesia", SV style. Although I guess everyone in SV has amnesia. Wipe The Sleep Out Of My Eyes in which Dodo has amnesia, except not really. But the battle is lost, if being fobwatched counts as amnesia for Time Lords. Also, McGonagall has Snape-induced amnesia in Five Moments of Doubt.

Cross-dressing: Yep, Three in Crooked Line. Cross-dressing can be a kink of mine, but here I didn't actually find it hot - but interesting to write.

Forced to share a bed!: Um. Being handcuffed to each other in the jungle counts, I guess: Inseparable. Forced to share a bed of leaves!

Aliens make them do it!: A Little Dirt. You never defined "it".

Wingfic: I tried (because of a prompt) but I never got anywhere. It wasn't as big a deal for Ainley!Master as it should have been - just another mishap. Though I used to write Angel Sanctuary (manga) fic, and most people have wings there. So probably the novelty just isn't there.

Mpreg: The beginnings of it in Fifty-Two, where President Luthor accidentally gets Superman pregnant and it causes the comic series "52".

Mistakenly assumed to be gay!: I don't think so. This cliché seems old-fashioned to me, as in "was more popular in older fandoms".

Let's play truth or dare!: No... which is odd. "Write what you know" they say, and this would certainly work here. I see opportunities here, though. It might be usable as a plot device in one of the fics I have on the backburner.

Mary Sue fic: I've written "canon character as Gary Stu" very early in my fic-writing career, but never an actual Mary Sue.

Aphrodisiacs!: Oh dear. Great Things which has Clark on RedK, and Marked which has Clark in heat. Also in heat is the Master in Mercy. This is more than enough for one author's life, because "stuff makes them horny" is really a lazy cliché.

Curtainfic: ... I guess Living Things counts as one big curtainfic in which Shalka!Doctor and Master settle down with each other. Although the TARDIS has no curtains. But they do interior design nonetheless.

Hurt/Comfort: Everyone's favourite cliché. Well, it's definitely one of mine. SV: Five Times Clark and Lex Were There For Earth Other, Five Times Lex Saved Superman, Protection, I Shall Become, Escape Velocity. DW: again, Living Things.

Apocalypse fic: I wish I had written one in SV, or even better, JLU! Because that would have been SO easy and obvious. Doctor Who, on the other hand... my OTP are both Time Lords, so technically, they've had a canonical apocalypse in the form of the Time War. But that doesn't really fufil the classic cliché, because they're not living on a post-apocalyptic world. What would be interesting is a fic where Gallifrey survives but they have to rebuild it.

Someone has a baby!: Protection, in which Lana has a baby and Clark and Lex have to raise it. Also has nanny!Black Canary. The irony is that I hate babyfic, but I loved writing this fic. Devil's Deal, another long SV fic also is kidfic, because the central plot catalyst is the death of Superman and Lex Luthor's clone baby.

Telepathic soulbonding: Not soulbonding, but telepathy is a common trope in Whofic. In The Blink Of An Eye, Mind/body, interestingly, both are Theta/Koschei. Also a form of soulbonding/telepathy is No Exit (Everybody Lives). In X-Men fandom I wrote only one story, and it had telepathy: Undiscovered Countries. HP: In Essence Divided is all about a sort of soulbond between Harry and Voldemort. This also seems to be a cliché I love a little too much.

Werewolves mate for life!: I've written one werewolf story, but no mating for life. More a "eaten to death" kind of story. And I fear the Master lives in his own personal "Time Lords mate for life" fic much of the time.

So, I still need to write: Gay bar, Assumed to be gay, Genderswap (I seem to have avoided gender politics in general. Not good.) Apocalypfic, Secretly a Virgin, Xs Mate For Life and Truth or Dare.
