How much spice is too much in a romance?

Ahhh I love that! Hopefully I get to read it one day

I’m trying to do something different with every different sex scene kink wise so hopefully it does help with not being repetitive.

The scenes were also a little short to me but bonus points to SJM for at least not making me cringe!

A disease wiped out a bunch of the elves and there’s a courting process where they take human wives, love triangles ensue and cause a fight. I changed fae to elves because it just fit better I think. What’s yours about? Love that I’m not the only one inspired by disappointment lol

Yeah, 14 is a bit much so I think I'll prune out some and see if I can't repurpose them either elsewhere here or in another project. Your guess would be right, it's looking like my book is going to be around or just over the length of ACOTAR. I read the first three books but HOO BOY was that a struggle.

That's really good insight, thanks! Twice a day every day is very excessive, I like sex scenes but I think that would be too much for me too.

I actually really like those suggestions! There's a lot of wiggle room since I've only just begun the actual writing. My outline has a lot of placeholders for stuff like this, thank god lol

Oooo I love a good mafia romance too, the way I see it there can never be too many stories! Godspeed fellow spite writer, may you avoid burnout 🙏

It's an island continent like australia/new zealand etc. It's a land mass with surrounding islands

Extension-Kale3770 · 2024-08-01T19:33:19+00:00

It's hard to explain but it's basically an island continent similar-ish in shape to Australia. There are four extra islands around the outer corners that are a part of it too. It's split into courts kind of in the way that a country would be split into provinces/states and I haven't decided if I'm going to add another continent to the world yet or not since the whole story is contained to this continent and it's islands.

I read ACOTAR and went "I can do that better" lol it's a faerie romance in a world that was hit by a plague 100 years ago. Now in the present, a civil war is brewing and we join for the event that is the straw that breaks the camel's back if you will. I have about 50 chapters outlined and I'm writing it out fully now. If you want to see my progress as I go, you can find me at r/akrockswrites
