It happens so, so often - how can people think it's a good idea? I'm also amazed when people ask for suggestions on where to take the story in the summary.

I like to think that they are the fourteen year olds.

I haven't seen too many orbs in fic lately but a new trend in words has cropped up: characters' lips "crashing" or "smashing" against each other in a kiss. It doesn't sound passionate - just painful. Makes me think of teeth knocking together and split lips.
