Question of the day part 9 (even though days go by lol)
Rose:
One thing I love to read is young teenaged Nick.
But I prefer writing current Nick these days.

I actually like romance more than I let on, because if you look at all the fanfics I've written, I'd guess at least half of them include a romantic storyline. I really am a hopeless romantic at heart, and I'm a sucker for sappy stuff. A lot of my favorite fanfics feature romance as well, but I tend to scroll past the romances on AC. It takes a lot for me to get sucked into one. As I said in the confession thread, I need the promise of some medical drama or something more than love triangles and sex scenes.
One of my big hypocrite moments as a writer was with Broken. I got the idea to write Broken after reading Swollen Issues. In the second Swollen Issues, they introduced a female character named Julie (not named after me) who I think also had cancer, and when she made her first appearance, I literally groaned and thought, "Ugh, please don't go there and turn this into a cheesy romance." I liked it the way it was, as a drama about Nick and the Boys. Luckily, she was only in a few chapters and then sort of disappeared. But what did I go and do in Broken? Write in a female character with cancer and give her a romantic storyline with Nick. Hypocrite!
Other than that, my tastes are pretty similar across the board. I write the kind of stories I'd like to read, and I get ideas for stories from things that I've enjoyed reading.

I will say, I flat out adore romance as a subplot. Because then it's romance when surrounded by all these other horrible challenges. It makes it, I don't know, more romantic. Probably since it's forced to survive despite stuff worse than typical relationship issues.
Case in point?
I adored Claire and Nick.

I love our romantic storylines in Undead too. Further proof of what we both said... we're writing a horror story about the zombie apocalypse, and we're all like, "Ooh, let's have our characters fall in love and make babies so they can repopulate the earth!" :-*
We are softies deep down LOL.
