sorry bout that I love those three they are my favorite characters!







LOL, mine's the same way. The romance kind of, snuck in, and now it's a major part of the story.
lolz Romance was basically how my story came to be. XD

Oh my God. I had to write something like that, too. You're not crazy, trust me. I cried when I had to write the end, and then I was in an awful mood for the rest of the day ... ><

I know how you feel; I've never written a doomed romance, but I have written something where I new the character would die from the beginning (I mean, the story is the tale of HOW she became the grim reaper) but it was still horrible when I had to write the part where she died.
So no, you aren't crazy. It happens to every writer, and non-writer people don't understand how easy it is to get attached to a character... it's as if they were a close cousin, and if anything happens to them, you feel horrible.

OMG, I'm writing one of those right now. And I get all teared up whenever I think about it...the two are absolutely perfect for each other in every way, and they're deeply in love. And then one of them is going to die!! It's not fair!! :'( *Cries* ...and it's COMPLETELY this one person's fault..which makes me SOO MAD!! :(

Okay, maybe i jumped the gun a bit.....just checking!

Me, I've never had much more than a warm regard for my characters, probably because I've never written doomed romances...

Oh yeah, I've killed charries off. I do that SOO MUCH..it kinda scares me. I'm so horrible to my characters!! And I've had to kill some of my favorite characters before...I cried then. :'(

Hmm ... Sella, I might not continue with that story. I know what I want to happen, but, I dunno, I'm just not enjoying it anymore.



I've had a few doomed romances, sometimes someone dies, sometimes they are forbidden to be together due to family or culture, sometimes there's danger involved in ones life so they have to push the other away to keep them safe. There's alot of classic cases to take inspiration from. I would suggest just thinking on the depths of your characters love and think on what could be more then the relationship could survive. Hope that helps ;)

Lol my character dies, sort of a doomed romance, but I'm going to have to continue posting the chapters in order to say what happens near the end.
