as long as i have you, scandal, the rest of them can rot.

It’s a strange thing, but in the 400 plus comics I have written, I haven’t written that many actual romances. I sometimes wonder if part of it is the unconscious avoidance of something traditionally thought of as a ‘girl’s’ element. If I wrote a romance and people hated it, I would be criticized with all the usual crap that is flung at female writers of romance and erotica (that it’s Mary Sue, that it’s soppy, that it’s chickfic, etc. etc.)

If I wrote a romance and people loved it, it would be dismissed for different reasons (that I’m ‘girling up comics,’ I’ve heard that several times already).

But I love writing romances. So subconscious be damned, there’s gonna be more, starting RIGHT AWAY.

But the short answer is, Scandal and Kay and Liana are the best romance I was ever fortunate enough to write.
