Cynical Romantics
For those of us who write about love for fear that it's becoming nonexistent in the real world. Come chat, drink cybercoffee, discuss...

![]() Hi, I'm Rachel but you can call me Mrs. Nathan Petrelli...yeah, pretty self-explanatory there. I'm a die-hard romantic, my favourite stories/films/etc.. have to have some sort of love story in them. So...yeah, that's me. 9/12/2008 #61 |
![]() Hey, I'm Melanie. I don't normally write just romance, it's usually mixed in with other things. I like unique characters and experimenting with new things and making conflicts. I go to a school for writing and I love writing reviews. I guess I've lurked around here for a while but really haven't gotten an account until a few days ago. I am a romantic at heart when it comes to my own life. My first story I'm putting on here is basically a story where I tried to make every single cliche not so annoying and I was also trying to see how many people would read it when it's so regular and cliche. My second story I'm writing for this site is so much different and I'm excited about it. 9/21/2008 #62 |
![]() Uhm...I can post my little introduction thingy here right? Oh well anyways my name is Latrice and I love reading and writing is my passion. I currently have two stories right now, one story I'm on the thirtieth chapter, but I'm struggling to finish it up, because I'm just so darn excited about the sequel and I've never finished a story in my life and that's probably the farthest I've ever gotten on a story. Anyhoo.. I will admit and completely fess up to the fact that the cliched Romance genre has vaporized any other genre I used to read and forced me to read nothing but cliched romance novels. And it's frickin awesome!:) So..yeah...that's my introduction...I think... 9/26/2008 #63 |

![]() Well Hi. I'm Georgia, I love romance but we all know romance and chivalry are pretty much dead in todays society. I won't even go INTO the conversations I've had with potential boyfriends. Ugh. I love the Nerdy type or the tall dark and handsome. But mostly tall. With big hands. Mmmmm. 10/06/2008 #65 |
![]() Hi, i'm noebody or frankie kali.. i'm 22 and i usually write darker stories but i've just started writting some romance. I'm a romantic at heart and just love to read romace stories.. 10/17/2008 #66 |

![]() I'm Kay and i love writing romances. i especially love romantic comedies I have 2 stories so far 11/08/2008 #68 |
![]() I'm Alleri! Like Kay, I love romantic comedies. I'm a sucker for them! Truly, I am! So far, I've written many stories. Um, but I have yet to post them up. Just haven't gotten around to doing that part yet. :) I guess I'll try and make an effort. 1/14/2009 #69 |
![]() My iPod's name is E.V.E. Mine is Todd. Only one full-length story I've finished. The rest are one-shots cause I'm too lazy to flesh them out and that's how I roll (j/k... a little). And talk too much like Yoda I do. 1/15/2009 #70 |
![]() Knockknock~ Hello everyone! I'm Gabby, haha. I'm kind of new here, so I haven't exactly posted anything. I'm a hopeless romantic (lol, the Donne kind of girl) and I enjoy...pretty much everything. Ahaha. That's all =] 3/16/2009 #71 |
![]() awesome! nice to meet you! and welcome to this forum...we definitely need a new voice! 3/18/2009 #72 |
![]() I is new! I'm Kyrii. I mostly post stuff that I've written that I wanna post. I may or may not post something that I've written that I don't want to post, and since I won't want to post it I may just post it simply because I told myself not to. I'm very contradictory like that. Love storms, love arguing, love fighting. I honestly don't know how long I've been on fictionpress, but I've been writing for quite a while. I'm here, cause well, I'm a writer. Simple as that. So, hi. 4/20/2009 #73 |

![]() Ok, first off: Waffle. ok, got that out of my system, lol. My real name is Ryann, and yes, I is a girl. I've been writing fiction stories since I was in the second grade, and drawing since I was freakin two. My plans are either to become a manga artist and send out my own manga line, or a professional animator, I know I know, a long way to go for an american, hopping up into the Japanese business. Crafty Japs... I'm a clutz, a putz, and a down right weirdo who some how manages to pull of human. Oh and I'm very forgetful. My memory lasts at least two days tops, lmao! I know I got at least three Friends on here, Noel, Season, and Jackie, so if you know them, please let them know who I am. : lol, so yup. tada! 4/27/2009 #75 |
![]() Oh shi. I forgot stuff.(lol, see what I mean with the memory thing?xD) Urr...I'm 16 years old, live in Washington, socially awkward and antisocial, but loves company, err...err...oh yeah. *nudgeschickwiththecatavatar* You crack me up. 0o" 4/27/2009 #76 |
![]() lol. oh hi dere. nice ta meet ya. 4/29/2009 #77 |
![]() hi, my name's ruby, and i'm new to fiction press. i've been making up stories for as long as i remember but have only just started to write them out in a serious manner. i'm mainly supernatural but my two most recent projects are also (supposed to be) romantic. the problem is... i'm not romantic at all all my romances in life and in previou attempts have ended with a giant implosion. so... i come to the 'experts'. hopefully i can get advice and further my (non-existant) skill...? 4/30/2009 #78 |
![]() hi. okay, wait. question. Why would you come to the cynical romantics thread to get ideas or whatever for your romance story? (We're kinda bashing love.) 4/30/2009 #79 |
![]() coz, my previous attempts have been too lovey dovey and it almost takes over the plot rather than being part of the plot. so, some non-head-over-heels advice would be better than lovey dovey advice... did that make sense? 4/30/2009 #80 |
![]() Hello everyone. My name is Kendra, and I admit to being a hopeless romantic. Currently I have not uploaded any of my romance stories onto fictionpress {I really have to get around to that.} but a new one pops into my head just about every day. Let's just say that I don't get along with other girls and since all of my friends are guys... Sigh. But, like I said. Hello. I was wondering, do any of you have anything against the cliche romantic plots? Even though I usually hate reading them I can't help writing them. Sigh. What is your opinion on it? 7/01/2009 #81 |
![]() Hey guys! I'm Vee, or Socks, whichever. I'm just your average romantic sap, smiley abuser, and the word "really" over user. Hm. I'm new to fiction press, and don't have anything posted yet because I'm a bum (that's the only excuse I got. D:) and will write just about anything that seems mildly entertaining to me at the time, which is quite a lot of weird stuff. x) To answer the person above me; I love cliche plots. I'd never admit it in person, but as long as they're well written, I am an absolute sucker for them. x) What can I say? I like happy endings, and I like knowing that a happy ending is coming. Since happy endings don't usually appear in my own work, I feed off them everywhere else. Heh. Nice meeting all of you. (: -Vee 7/17/2009 #82 |
![]() Hey, guys! I'm 14, you can tell approximately how long I've been on fictionpress judging by the icon next to my name. My first story dates back to January of 2009 I like writing from the perspective of antagonists (or characters who would typically be used as antagonists) who fall in love. This is partially because I like the idea that love is for everyone (even the power-mad and selfish types.) Although I don't think this is true in real life. Another reason I write about antagonists is because I think it ensures that I end up with complex, balanced characters. You see, they're clearly not perfect, but since they're in love they can't be all bad, although they normally don't end up swapping sides or anything. Another weird fact about me is that I don't tend to write my chapters in order. First I plan out the skeleton of my story, then I tend to write the parts I feel like writing at the time. This makes it easy for me to get my stories finished, but I don't post them in order. I love feedback, especially since I'm considering writing as a serious career for when I'm older. I figured I'd practise while I was young, so tell me what you think of my skills. I tend to response well to specific criticism/praise. Don't just say you liked it, tell me why you liked it. 7/19/2009 #83 |
![]() Hello there, my name is Ariana, I am fifteen. I write in my spare time when the normal teen is probably watching TV but unfortunately I tend to give up on my stories because I think the plot is overdone, boring, stupid or whatever other reason. After the initial hype of the first spark of inspiration that little thing in my mind called my inner critic starts talking and it is truly evil which is why I do not have any thing posted yet. I am trying harder and getting better to tone down that condescending voice. (You can not simply get rid of it or else you'd be writing literally gibberish.) I love romance that is not overly smutty, drama of nearly any sort, and horror mostly. And I love characters with odd quirks whether they be dark or cheery. I guess you could say I live in my own little world as I find myself daydreaming very often though my family and friends thinks it is just my music is simply too loud (My headphones are usually always in my ears.) I do have a fondness for older books such as Jane Eyre and The Phantom of the Opera while many others go crazy over the, in my opinion, horrid Twilight series. Am I strange? Yes. Do I care? Not at all. 8/27/2009 #84 |
![]() I don't think you're strange. Maybe it's because I am. It seems most people here aren't Twilight fans, wonder why. Perhaps we're all strange or we all have decent taste? Who knows. 8/27/2009 #85 |
![]() I got a story im working on that i think everyone would like! its called The White Rose, and it was inspired off of Beauty and the Beast 10/26/2009 #86 |
![]() personally, im not big on twilight, the book Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater is better than twilight anyway (yes i have actaully read twilight) Shiver blows twilight out of the water! 10/26/2009 #87 |
![]() Hey, im confusedsharpies... although im not that confused. i mostly write poetry cause i can never finish a story. i do have a story...but i don't know where it's going. i love anything romantic, a hopeless romantic through and through. read my stuff and reply, if you want, open invitation. 11/26/2009 #88 |
![]() Hi I'm Ella I havent written for long. I mostly write on fanfiction under the same name (ellaumbrella) I have written aromance story which is kinda my life. I hope being on here will convince me to write more (maybe something non-my life). Please review my story! 12/05/2009 #89 |
![]() Hi I'm Yoron, into bikes beer babes and single malt :) Otherwise I just try to see where life takes me, this time it took me here. The caption 'cynical romantics' struck a string with me :) "Can't help it, " Looks around "I'm an cynical romantic." Everyone says "Hi Yoron." And I've already looked at some of your story's, and commented. Take care. 12/29/2009 #90 |
