It made me smile. 5*. There is a lot of commenters on this site with no sense of humor.
Wait. The ex-Husband agrees to go on a date with his cheating ex-Wife?
What a beta cuck.
(somebody had to say it.)
.Every clichéd word, phrase,idea, story line,character type and story line used in 90% of these stories.
WELL DONE!
EVERY WRITER IN LW should put this over their desk and work hard to use none of them!!
WOW. You know what's really amazing (other than the enjoyment that reading this work brings?). The fact that - despite all those things being cliché, they STILL provide for a satisfying story. Everyone (writers or editors or especially commenters) who whine about clichés, seems to forget that most works (including close to 99% of modern movies) are almost literal re-treads of existing works. Lion King, widely beloved by most, was a rip-off of a Japanese cartoon, which was itself a rip-off of Hamlet, which - like MANY of Shakespeare's works!!! - was ripped off from earlier material. Star Wars LITERALLY set out on purpose to implement the archetypical story, while also liberally stealing from Flash Gordon, Kurosawa etc... and yet, they all managed to bring enjoyment to billions of people. So, the question isn't "cliché vs. originality" - it's about quality of writing and morality of the story.
Read it again. Hilarious stuff. I don’t think you missed a single over used LW trope.
That is perhaps the nicest "fuck you," to an infinite amount of readers that I have ever seen. I would say you missed the reconciliation cliché, but I'll chalk it up to you beginning with coffee and using the ol draw your own conclusion cliché. Well done.
Griscom is missing an opportunity here; if he made a commercial document template for LW stories, using AI and the options in this story, he could retire to a sailboat in the Caribbean with his harem of barefoot swimsuit models left destitute by the collapse of Sports Illustrated.
A veritable pyramid of clichés. Love it! A double dose of five stars brightly shining.
Just like a painting, the hardest part is knowing when to end it. Anything beyond that point will only destroy it. - Rodzzz
it scores well on the humorous scale but not anywhere near your best work, I have probably read 10 or so of your stories and haven't felt they were not finished.
Absolutely hilarious. While your actual stories are much better, this was brilliantly done.
I am baffled by the score. Loved it. And of course she has rotted teeth; she's obviously a meth addict too.
