Re: Let's talk about romance plots!

[blunderbuss]

Honestly I think I am the most cynical motherfucker sometimes because I dislike or don't care about 99% of all romance plots. Having it as a b-plot is my preference, like everyone else, but the vast majority don't pique my interest. That's kinda why I would never read something that's from the romance genre unless it was very well done, sorry OP.

The only exception to this rule would be The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal. It's a buddy roadtrip and a romance blended together but since it avoids everything I dislike about romance stories it goddamn wins me over. (Seriously read this shit y'all)

In fact, one of the reasons I like it so much is that when one character is caught out on doing something bad the other GETS APPROPIATELY ANGRY and gives them the riot act. Goddamn it is so damn rare for one love interest to get justifiably angry and react like an adult about it. In most stories they'd run off in a trail of tears and then get hit by a car oh noes waaaaaah and then make up like it never happened.

But in this story they, again, act like adults about it and manage to move on after a healthy amount of anger and distrust.

Hell, that's my biggest problem with the genre - it tends to go for what's the most dramatic and heart-wrenching rather than what makes sense for those characters. Also I've noticed that most romance stories don't believe that two people in love could never have serious reasons to dislike or get angry with each other that can't just be fixed with love, which is why 99% of star-crossed lovers never seem real to me.

Uh, shit, I've rambled. Sorry OP.
