I do apoligize for this.  Let me say that up front.  Now then, onto my rant.
WHERE IS ALL THE ROMANCE??? Romance has been a vastly ignored genre in
fanfics.  Oh, of course, there are exceptions.  Like Biles' Elseworld series
had some very interesting love stories in it. And, of course, there is Chris
Davies.  And most authors have done stories in which people fell in love and
dated and eventually married. Lots of stories like that. Especially Ranma and
OMG because they are love stories. Well, the case of any Takahashi work....
But still they are not...ROMANTIC.  They don't positivly radiate the passion
and ..and..i don't know.. what ever it is that makes a romance a romance.
Something that you know is love, and can feel it in the soul.  There are great
stories out there that do not touch on love or even romance. Of those that do,
rarely do they evoke the same ..feelings that Shakespeare has, or
even...Spelling (the producer of 90210, if you must know. never really watched
the show, just heard that it was ..good).  The bonds of love between two (or
more) people. The feelings that made you cry during the KOR movie.  Romance
doesn't have to be sappy, just..there.  
sorry once again for this. and please refute me. i want to be wrong.
