I need cliches! http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/adventure/threads/47466 The_Quillmaster Basically, the plots of the generic adventure stories. I'm doing an adventure satire now, I'm NOT an unoriginal plagiarizer. I want to satire the adventure cliches, and I want to do it by weaving together several generic plots. If any of this makes sense to you, please put in a sentence for me. Such as "Boy finds out he is the Chosen One, and so and so". Wait, that's fantasy. Anyways, I hope you understand what I mean and please help. Oh, and other just little cliches would be good if you think of any.

There's usually a journey of some sort. There is probably a huge fight scene of some kind. Hope that helps. Most of them are sort of like fantasy ones as well, i find them quite hard to seperate for some reason.

The lover or child is compleatly useless in a fight. Baisically, write Mario. Don't do Zelda.

Some fantasy cliches apply to this genre as well.
