Will anyone do this for romance? I'm not that good with it.

#10 Posted by Joygirl (6113 posts) - 9 months, 16 days ago - Show Bio

If there's no rule against doing two, I would be willing to write a bit about romance, having done multiple romantic projects myself. It may not be stellar but at least it will be a start, maybe it could be a multi-parter?

#11 Posted by Irishlad (350 posts) - 9 months, 16 days ago - Show Bio

@Joygirl you're a great romance writer... just give me a day and if there's no takers for romance it's yours :)

In the voting for Fan-Fic Awards, I would like to suggest a special category called Game-Changer or maybe the Jebediah Springfield Award For Embiggenment to @Irishlad for mobilising dozens of talented writes to one cause for the greater good of fan-fic-ery! All in favour put your vote in the fan-fic nomination thread by @CapFanboy :) Well done Irishlad
