Sry to intrude in your conversation, but OH MY WORD THIS ONE THING REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE:
Anyway, one of the things that really kills it for me is if they just completely skip the friendship stage. It just kinda feels unrealistic to me XD I’m not saying it can’t be done well, but I like seeing them slowly start to respect and then like each other, as opposed to them just… hating each other but still wanting to kiss? Or something?
I absolutely HATE the whole “love at first sight”. Like, how realistic is that? I’ve watched a friend have several “love at first sight” moments, and it made me sad and sick and sorry. She and her boyfriend (they started dating after only a few days knowing each other) would always end their conversation with “I love you” and I always thought, “Yeah, right, this isn’t love! It’s temporary passion.” I tried to talk to my friend but she didn’t want to hear it, and now she’s gone to Germany and her “boyfriend” has completely shut her off. *glares at boyfriend, who I also know*
So, long story short, if there’s going to be romance in a book, make it like Aragorn and Arwen, who took, like, 50 years to cultivate their relationship. XD
*laughs* That sounds like something I would do…
Of course you can join (if you’d like)! Here’s a few questions you can answer, although don’t feel obliged to answer them:
- How old are you?
- What genre do you like to write?
- What would you like to be called?
