I meant to come back and say this, and now your other post reminded me.
If there is a "threesome/moresome" cliché in fanfic it's the "two guys who are usually paired in their fandom meet a guy from another fandom, and they have a one-night stand" cliché. I'm fine with that aspect of it. But if you want to go deeper with your moresome, if you envision an OT3 or an OT4 (or 5 or 6 or...) as a viable, longterm, committed relationship, as True Love, if you will, then, a) I don't think that is a cliché in fandom, and, b) if you say that it is, while love between two people is not, then I would say that there is a value judgement inherent in that statement. (Again, I don't think the mods have reasoned that out or had bad intentions, but it comes out in a way that makes me uncomfortable. I'm not sure why it really bothers me, but, hey, it does. *smile*)
