I assume, if there is a romance taking place in your story, that it's between two people. Give an introduction of these two people, their personalities, and how they meet.

Desiderio Domini,
Pavalini

okay, I'm not giving the others away but here's about how it goes...

Guilo Nova: He doesn't trust people a lot but he's a loyal friend. He grew up in a laboratory and has golden wings like an eagle.
Eryn (no last name yet): She's a shy orphan who just found out her father isn't dead, just invisible. She loves horses. They met at school but didn't start talking to each other until Kaida showed Eryn through on of the portals.

and another interesting one...

Amos Williams: Former drug addict and murderer (it was sort of an accident he's not scary anymore). Mo is slightly introverted because he's not sure what people think of him.

Lyna (no last name yet): She's just happy to be alive. Willing to see the best in people but knows when there's bad. She's enthusiastic about everything she does. They met when Mo cast a demon out of her.

Agh, for a second I was hoping you were going to post some sort of guide to writing good romance. Oh well

Zaciré is a head-strong young guy that's been tasked with recovering the Dagger, an ancient artifact of great importance in Enderion. He is forced to bring Numarya with him on this quest, a move he thinks will only cause him grief and inconvenience (he's pretty prejudiced)
Numarya is a girl that came to the Enclave (where Zacire lives) an orphan. She accompanies Zacire on the quest not because she finds him such a great person (she really dislikes him) but because her father had a hand in the theft of the Dagger.

That's about it. Their relationship gets pretty complex, but I won't go indepth here =) Unless you want me to.

Hmmmm, let's see.

Lucius James Harlington and Charlotte Ann Wikons. Description and personalities will be found at this thread: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=1019

(I didn't want to repeat myself, so I posted the link instead of having two copies here in The Forge/Character Development.)
When they meet, Lucius is twelve and Charlotte is ten and half.

How they meet:

Lucius' family moves from the city to the countryside place near Charlotte's family. Charlotte is playing beside a massive blooming crabapple tree when Lucius' kite is taken by the wind and gets stuck in the tree. Charlotte sees the kite and Lucius comes running up to the crabapple. Charlotte had climbed up the tree, skirts and all, to retrieve the kite for him. They become best friends who grow closer as they grow up, and eventually fall in love.

That's about it, because I'm haven't finished the novel yet and I don't want to spoil anything I might post on Holy Worlds sometime later.

(Sorry, I'm quite a sap for romance. Pure romance.) :3 (Like the Princess Bride!)

Zac and Nummy's relationships = WIN! And you didn't think it was going to happen. *is trying to say I told you so*

LOL!

Let's see...

Csilla--bright, perky, loves people, loves children, hardworker, isn't content with her station in life and is working to change it. Pretty, funny, outgoing, street-savvy.

Cintan--dark, brooding, slightly reclusive, loves children, hardworker, isn't content with his station in life, but doesn't think he can change it. Average looking, darkly humerous, sarcastic, street savvy.

They grew up on the streets together and they fell in love as they got older.

Shawn is clever, bubbly, funny, and doesn't back down easily once she has sunk her teeth into it. Her parents died when she was two, and she has an older brother who watches out for her.

Jay is impetuous, protective, imaginative, adventurous, and has an abundant dose of slapstick humor. His family consists of his parents, an older brother, and an older sister.

How they meet: Shawn and Jay played together for years, and went to school together until 5th grade or so. Then Shawn moved away, and they didn't see each other again for years. Jay is working on his last case as an (NSA) agent, and runs into some trouble with the bad guys. He escapes and runs to hide behind a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Shawn had been staying there in hiding with the WPP, as she was a "coincidentally" a witness in the case Jay was working on, as he later finds out. After the case/trial, Jay leaves the Agency, and they catch up (as friends). Later Jay asks her to marry him, and she accepts.

EDIT: I have a major rework of this that I will post as soon as I can.

Edit again: Done!

The one instance of romance in my stories so far (save the story in which I can't decide who should marry whom... <grin> or perhaps they're all siblings and NOBODY will get married. <evil writer laugh>):



Skye is passionate, vivacious, and compassionate.

Lukas is reserved, calm, slightly sarcastic/cynical, and very professional -- but passionate in his own way about the things he cares about.


Skye is a scientist with a heart for the outcasts. As a child, the orphan Lukas was crippled in a carriage accident, nearly causing his and his disabled toddler sister's starvation. However, Skye stumbled across the child one day and took her in. She gave Lukas technology to allow him to walk again.

Over many circumstances, they ended up falling in love when they were old enough. They planned to marry, but Lukas was tragically killed when protecting Skye's lab from a burglary. Skye had previously left the city for her own protection. A few days after the death of Lukas, when Skye was supposed to return, it was discovered that she had left the country completely after hearing what had happened.


I need to tweak everybody's ages in this story to make everything make sense... but the idea is that Skye is a year older than Lukas; Meadow (the sister) is about five to ten years younger than Lukas and about the same age (within a couple years) of the main characters Krystal & Evander (twins). Confusing, eh?

And it doesn't end as tragically as it sounds...

I think I mostly understood yours, Lady E. The only thing I might note is that for clarity you might want to insert whatever happened to Iri's mother into the bit about Favriel. (I assume she's dead)

(...well, it's not common knowledge how not-tragically it all ends...but if you PM me I'll explain it. )

My romances are a tangled, horribly, multi-triangled mess...

Janin and Darlene

Janin is charming, brave, the heir to a powerful throne, and at the time is having a difficult time with his family relationships.

Darlene is pretty, ambitious, a bit tomboyish, and longing for adventure.

They meet when Janin accompanies Herene, his cousin and Darlene's brother, to his home for the summer. Janin is escaping some uncomfortable incidents with his brother and Darlene makes it her mission to cheer him up. When Janin returns to his own country they promise to exchange letters and do so faithfully until Christmas time, when Janin's father, seeing what is going on, invites Darlene's family to Yen where Janin proposes.

Janin and Katherine

Janin is heartbroken by the death of his fiancee and blind with anger against the man who was indirectly responsible for her death.

Katherine is an only child and heir to a mortal throne. A queen on the throne would be unusual, and her father insists she marry so he can arrange the inheritance for her and her husband.

Janin follows his vengeance into Katherine's court. He poses as a suitor until a suitable time when he can confront the man he's hunting, but when weeks go by without a suitable opportunity arising he has time to reconsider his actions and decides to stay for another reason. Katherine is captivated by his honor and and forthrightness, a quality missing in her other suitors. Janin finds in her company a little of what he lost with Darlene. At first he feels guilty over betraying his dead love, but soon realizes that maybe love is what he needs to heal.

Derek and Katherine

Derek learned at a young age how to take care of himself. After arranging the marriages of both his younger sisters he sets about winning a bride for himself. Besides being the most beautiful woman in the land Katherine is educated, spirited, heir to an immense kingdom, and known for her virtue.

Katherine notices Derek first as the companion of Janin. She is intrigued by the latter, but finds in Derek a friend she can trust. When Janin disappears without a word, she realizes it was Derek she loved all along and gives him her hand.

I think I know who it might be...

I'll PM you, in case I'm right. If I'm wrong, I won't be embarrassed.
