I think maybe that isn't entirely fair? Just a little. There are literally thousands of people just joining this fandom now and really, would they know any of it was a cliche? But! I can understand it if you've been here at least as long as I have (counting on 4 years now), I admit some of it can be tedious. On the other hand -- I am a completely sucker for nearly any well-written dorm-room H/D shag (or EVENTUAL shag!) fic. I think they can be brilliant and they actually kind of warm my heart a little to dig into. They make me feel at home and I just love to see the progression of that love/lust/angst/snark.
On the other hand, established relationships nearly send me running nine out of ten times. Basically, I have to have a great trust in the author to even think about reading the first paragraph. I like my boys in their dorms shagging beside a rain-damp window whilst clawing at each other (ok maybe not), thank you. :))
Ah, there really is nothing like a die-hard H/D shipper, is there. =;:>
