Don't think for a second that you get away with it by just wishing us 'good luck'.

My memory is poor but I'm not going to forget this for a long time, @Christine Wheelwright & @Jo Zebedee.

Nah. I’m one for romances….

 

[paranoid marvin]

I like this theme and genre. Just a shame we only get one go at it. I think this is the earliest I've ever posted.

Good luck all.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

I like a good romance. Have entered this with utter pleasure.

 

[DaCrazyKat29]

I’m just trying to work a twist into 75 words… or you know. Some weirdness or something

 

[paranoid marvin]

Anytime I see the word 'destiny' in relation to romance, I can't help but think density!

Hey, I'm an innocent abroad looking forward to your dragon romance tale

I love a challenge, and besides, my wife and daughter and other female relatives have been begging me to write a romance for years. So, now's the time. ...but with a fantasy twist, of course.

 

[Parson]

Romantacy?
Really?

Scratches noggin.

Well, at least we can say that this will well and truly be a challenge.


----------- (Edit)

And a few minutes later I discover there are already stories?! Maybe the genre was Rom-antsy rather than Ro-mantasy.

@Guttersnipe .... The Thread Between Them .... A story that makes me wonder about the tie that binds.

@THX1138 .... Love is in Her Eyes .... A story that makes me wonder about a kind of virtual reality.

@paranoid marvin .... The Eye of the Beholder .... A story that makes me wonder if I don't already know that guy.

@Ian Fortytwo .... Love blossoms in an endgame .... A story that makes me wonder about the game of love.

I've got an old old shirt that says "Gravity: The Force of Attraction"

Let’s be honest, in most romances there’s some of that as well XD

Guttersnipe: Roses are red, violets are blue; only the best kind of ties connect two.

THX1138: Roses are red, violets are blue; there is no end to what great art can do.

paranoid marvin: Roses are red, violets are blue; being yourself is the best thing for you.

Ian Fortytwo: Roses are red, violets are blue; winners are winners and losers are, too.

One for a rhyme I see…

By sheer coincidence, this just popped up:

A genre of swords and soulmates: the rise and rise of ‘romantasy’ novels

From Sarah J Maas to Rebecca Yarros, the authors writing blends of fantasy and romance have found huge commercial success – largely thanks to TikTok

Please tell me it's because George McFly pops in your head.
