I love romance stories that come unexpectedly usually or ones that come from hard/unexpected circumstances

More so adult love stories

Perfect! Okay so what kind of circumstance is difficult to you? And is this more of a sweet romance story or a rip your heart out kind ahaha

I definitely think characterisation is… not more important because characterisation is always important, but harder with that kind of romance. You’re probably looking at more unique characters, who will have a more detailed backstory. I’d say start there?¿

As in, a pregnancy from a one night stand…or something a little less cliché than that if you catch my drift

YES! That was going to be my next thing.

Characters, when we’ll developed, write the story themselves.

What are things that force people to see each other repeatedly?

-getting into a fender bender
-working together

I guess… how would your romance take off from here then? What is your MC’s mindset at the beginning of the story? How does the LI alter that?

That might be a little risqué for Episode but you catch my drift

No it’s not! Depending on the kind of rehab!

Do either of you guys maybe want to work together on this story? I feel like we could develop it well together!
