June 30, 2005

FindCliches.com is a website that lists clichés. Most interesting to authors and writers will be the sections covering overused plots including TV sitcom clichés, science fiction clichés and detective novel clichés. Here are a few overused plots from the science fiction category:

  • Earth is threatened by an asteroid, and a space mission is mounted to save the planet.
  • The Bad Guy travels through time to kill the Hero in his childhood, or to prevent him from ever being born.
  • People connect their brains directly to computers and get dependent on them.
  • A great hunter decides that humans are the most entertaining prey of all, and visits Earth to bag a few.
  • Aliens put someone on trial for the sins of humanity.
  • A robot falls in love with a human.
