Yes, there are a lot of extremely cliched fics out there *shudders*, but some fics (with the similar storylines) are amazing!
I could try to list them all, but right now, I'm juggling assignments between Chemistry, Physics, and Medical Science. :P
Still, she did say that the way to good fics is to keep practising, and practising, and practising. And for all of us who are doing that, we need to get the bad fics out of our brains, before we get to the good stuff.
So, I say, it's okay to write bad fics, as long as you have good ones up your sleeves!
C-ya!
