Do something original, create cliches of your own.

Clinches, clinches! Has someone made a list of various clinches found in Ranma
1/2 fanfics. I was wondering if anybody had attempted to parody these
clinches? I've read Black Lemonade- a hilarous parody of dark lemon fanfics.
One thing- Having Akane cooking up ugly globs of food or her food coming to
alive- is this a fanfic convention? This never occured in manga version, and I
don't know much about anime version.

The food thing was created (I believe -- I could be wrong) by Mike
Loader in his hilarious fic, The Nameless Saga.  I *think* that was the
first instance of Akane's food coming to life in a fic. 

The original Passion Spice story is the first fanfic example, I believe.

If it has passed from the high and the beautiful to darkness and ruin, that
was of old the fate of Arda Marred; and if any change shall come and the
Marring be amended, Manwe and Varda may know; but they have not revealed it,
and it is not declared in the dooms of Mandos.
