Re: Advice for someone new to writing romance?

(Anonymous) 2020-09-15 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Eh. So long as you've got ~something~ going on in the foreground to keep the tension going, you can be pretty kind in the romance plot. (Like, as a random example, one of the characters is a firefighter and there is something dangerous happening - which can make the romance section a source of strength for them, not conflict.)

As well as the "tipsy, slightly flirty, favourable response" suggestion listed above, you could consider:

- "I need a 'date' to an event and there's free food, wanna come?" as an introduction to the conversation of how they feel about each other.
- Questioning Bi Guy flat asks Gay Guy for advice and resources on coming out, "as a friend" - also starts that conversation.
- 'Joking' kissing under mistletoe or at New Year's.
- "Hey, what's your type?" / Description turns out to be a lot like BFF.
- They both separately confide in a third party, who eventually cannot take the frustration any more and Takes Steps...
