What was the first story in which a blind character fell in love with an ugly, non-blind character?
Ian asked:
Stories like the movie City Lights by Charlie Chaplin count as well. How far back does the cliche go? I know the Spanish book Marianela was written in 1878; was that the first story to do it?

How to make an original haunted house story?
Wannabe Writer asked:
I have always been interested in writing haunted house stories, but it seems that everything I think up is totally cliche.

I’m not asking for ideas here, I’d just like to know how I can go about making a haunted house story non-cliche. I am mostly inspired with The Shining and The Amityville horror, so stories that are a little more on the psychological side.
Thanx!
