@Ethryndal OHHH!!! Yes, okay! That one was just adorable. I’m sorry. 😛 Painful but it was so cute, and the way it turned out was beautiful for everyone. Poor John. 😛 Yes, definitely lots to be admired there.

@Ethryndal yes! I’ve seen the BBC series of it and I started the book, but I hate electronics and it was on kindle, so I’m kinda looking for it in physical format (unabridged 😛 ) before finishing it.
That love triangle was actually not my favorite just because I didn’t care all that much for Pet Meagles, and I was mad at Arthur for falling for…[Read more]

@S-G-Dewey nice! I love it. 😀

@S.G.Dewey nice! I love it. 😀

Ooh, I like it too.

I got 69. *grins*

hehe! That was a neat way of them to get my email address. *jots that down*

I got 84 too.

@Daeus so should I. Plan to meet you then.

@kate-flournoy Ah, too bad. I should be able to make it tomorrow.

since most of my characters have undergone tragic backstories (courtesy of me =P)

*chokes* YES. lol

An organizational freak? *cough*INFJ*coughcough* :’D

@Aratrea

@Daeus aaaand tonight of all nights I can’t. :/ Good luck though.

@kate-flournoy I’m back to write now. I’m thinking I’ll go till 9:45 tonight, barring any catastrophes.

@Aysia-Serene ha, yes. There’s so much to be said on that subject it’d take whole books. 😛

Perhaps another important difference is that in 2/3 examples you picked, the MC was /not/ the winner of the love triangle, so instead of just being a gushy ending of success, the MC actually has to face hardship and work through it to become a better…

@Christi-Eaton YES. I can’t think of any examples right off the top of my head, but girls that lead both guys on are incredibly annoying. That’s a whole different set of problems right there. 😛

Definitely agree with you there. It doesn’t necessarily have to be main (Faramir and Eowyn) but it has to have its place in the story and serve some…[Read more]

Brilliant forum post @kate-flournoy, I enjoyed reading this one. You should write a whole article on this topic. It would be great! One of my strongest pet peeves from a love triangle is when the main character cannot possibly seem to choose between two guys and just keeps leading both on by continuing to flirt with both and even kissing both.…[Read more]

@dragon-snapper @jess @winter-rose I’ll be writing for an hour.

@Daeus exactly. I have no problem with that at all. Great point. It’s when the character is supposed to be likeable but only has that one goal that I start to lose it.
