Question of the day part 8
mare:
Friendship's exactly! Unfortunately you don't catch it as much these days. Hopefully when they start doing interviews things will change.
RokofAges75:
This is a question for people who have written romance. It seems like most writers have taken a stab at writing romance at some point or another, even if it's not their genre of choice, and a lot of writers have at least one "neverending romance series" (a romance with at least one or two sequels, spin-offs, and/or collections of one-shots) to their name.
I'm wondering, for people who have written more than one romance or romance series about the same guy, how do you manage to keep each story fresh and original with a new plot and female main character, while still keeping the same level of chemistry between each couple? Do you ever feel like you've written such a great couple, there's no way you can create the same magic with different characters in another story?
mare:
Aww, I was so excited to see my little red blob lit for this thread and now I'm bummed because the question is irrelevant to me! lol Stupid red blob! :/
RokofAges75:
LOL Sorry - you are definitely the exception to my "most writers have taken a stab at romance" statement.
Okay, here's a question for you and the rest of the suspense writers:
Who is your favorite villain you've written and why?
Rose:
Honestly with the romance question, I feel I can't. Hence why my one attempt at a romance sequel is totally unfinished and will likely remain so LOL. I feel like romance can only last for a sequel or so. Usually anything after that ends up so over the top it becomes soap opera-ish, at least in my experiences of reading. There's exceptions obviously but typically because romance isn't the main genre to begin with.
My favorite villain is actually Drums in 00Carter, because he's a shade of grey. He started off good and has been manipulated to this evil and even questions it now and then. Those usually make the best villains in my opinion because it's more realistic. You can see how they got there.
