The romantic debate
RokofAges75:
Yeah, if I'm gonna read romance, I much prefer romantic tearjerkers to romantic comedies. I'm the same way with movies; I HATE romantic comedies, but give me a movie like Titanic, The Notebook, Moulin Rouge? Oh hell yeah! Then I'm a hopeless romantic.
mare:
Yes! Romances are best when they do not have a happy ending!
Just out of curiousity, raise your hand if you have NOT killed Nick a story?
*raises hand* am I the only one? LOL
RokofAges75:
I think I've killed Nick four times, but I don't even really count the two "recent" times because one was when he was an old man at the end of the story, and the other was for that horror challenge story I wrote, not for a real novel. The two times I legitimately killed him in a novel were over ten years ago, so it's been awhile.
mare:
lmao it's been awhile. Poor Nick.
Sakabelle:
I only killed Nick in that April fools challenge where we had to write something totally out of the box and post under a different screenname... but I guess that still counts lmao. Poor Nick. It was Howie who killed him, if that makes it better!
And I'll agree with everyone who said they love tearjerker romance. I love romance that has sad aspects to it and an unconventional happy ending. Like Titanic. I love that movie, it's my favourite romance of all time lol. I also loved A Walk to Remember so yeah... romances where someone dies at the end are thumbs up in my book! That, and the characters at least have to come out of the story having learned something about themselves.
