Re: Romantic Subplots

[rubbertea]

what's annoying about most romantic subplots is that they all seem to follow the same codes, tropes, etc no matter what the genre or setting of the work. so you have this same amazing story and worldbuilding you've been doing, and these unique characters that your audience has fallen in love with, and all of that goes out the window the minute mr and ms white-and-pretty end up together. it's the same story, over and over, and when it eats up time that could be used for plot or background related purposes, it gets very very irritating.
so what you have to do to make the romantic subplot interesting is to make it original. to tell the story that's been told a million times in a way it's never been told before. make your couple a bit mismatched, make them interact in ways that the audience doesn't expect, and tie the subplot to the main plot so it doesn't feel intrusive.

*nod* I see your point and I agree

I remember reading a lot of HP fanfiction and I have to say, my least favorite was always that story where Evil manipulative!Dumbledore's secret plot involves keeping Harry and Hermione apart , distracted by his henchmen the Weasleys, because their twu wuv would save/change the world. I remember thinking "okay even if Dumbledore were a super evil mastermind, I think he would have more on his mind than who the Boy Who Lived wants to hook up with.

I always believe that unless its a romance fic, romance shouldn't take center stage.

and yes making it different from the usual is also important. I like to believe "love is a journey not a destination'. A relationship between two people is going to have ups and downs.
