How do you write romance stories? Or any sort of fiction.

What romance stories that are already written do you like?

she just tries to nudge her out of the way so she can put the tea down

[kokuyoyo]

How do you do that?

Making a spectacle of it I mean.

tea is important. this is acceptable

[priforprince]

Shall I educate you?

[ Yes, she could take a hint.

But this way makes her happier. ]

[kokuyoyo]

[God why does he feel all the regret right now]

If you could.

[priforprince]

[ The reply is a while in coming. Why is apparent once it does, well, appear. ]

The world is a stage, and all people are actors. Cast as they may be in average existences, their hearts long for the exceptional.

Romance fiction steals them away and bestows upon them the highest-quality present. Presented with the form of the ideal partner, their parched souls find respite and sate themselves at the spring of desire. The words upon the page are like guiding swans whose every wingbeat lead the reader to Paradise. No tawdriness can disturb them.

The love offered by Romance is love in its purest form, love unsullied by flaws or sentence enders. It's a noble task best undertaken only by the finest purveyors of prose and phrases. Don't attempt it if you don't feel up to the task.

[It's a good thing Chikusa is both an apathetic sort of person and already has a low opinion of Hibiki, or else he might feel intimidated by how much she's hyping the Romance genre up.]

I just want to learn how to write.

So what you're saying is that romance in a story shouldn't have any flaws? Besides sentence enders, what would those be?

[priforprince]

If you don't know instinctively, you are no genius.

[ Still. She's treating this as a prayer to Apollo, and that means she has to answer it. What can she do...? What will ensure success, even from a first-time writer who must calculate instead of instinctively feel...?

Of course, she hits upon a top-class answer. ]

I'll give you a gift. You may model the hero after me.

[ IT'S THE PERFECT SOLUTION ]

[Give him a second here.]

I wasn't expecting that.

[WHAT ELSE IS HE SUPPOSED TO SAY HERE...]

[priforprince]

Feeling overwhelmed is perfectly natural.

[ She's even an understanding god! No one would ever expect such a lavish present!

That's why giving it is such a sign of munificence. ]

[kokuyoyo]

[How does her shinki deal with this... By taking advantage of it, Chikusa.]

I'll take all your advice in mind.

[priforprince]

I await the result.

[ He can't possibly go wrong. ]
