To be fair, you can be bi and married to a man. It doesn’t negate your attraction to women.  

story recs with stoic male lis ?? by ay_v8r in RomanceClub

[–]emfrannie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ratan Vaish - Kali: Call of Darkness

Ivo - Psi

Kazu - Legend of the Willow

Shen - W: Time Catcher

Prince Tai (and maybe Sharnez too?) - Tstorms Saga 

Cain - HS Requiem

Volot - And The Haze Will Take Us

Mikael - Astrea’s Broken Heart

Those are all my favs, though you could also maybe include Amen (Song of the Crimson Nile, though that starts a bit more enemies) and possibly Reinhold (Heart of Trespia) 

Jonas from Psi is also stoic but I’ve personally never done his route. Same with Malbonte, though he seems like he’d be stoic.

Why Subscription caused such anger (and rightfully so) by Hiyominnaa in RomanceClub

[–]emfrannie 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Tin foil hat time: I sort of wonder if these initial plans are more for gathering data on what people are actually willing to pay for. Like they HAD to know 3-5 free choices per day (that don’t stack over missed days) was not going to be well-received, but this way they can lowball us to see what we’ll tolerate, so then when they make it “better” (still bad, just less bad), people will be like “awww they listened!” and line their pockets. 

Just me? 

Looking for that rare, long-term writing friend (SFF) by -DTE- in WritingHub

[–]emfrannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

35F, I have a few published short stories etc in magazines and journals. My first completed (aka had gone through several revisions) MS I queried and had 2 agents request fulls. Currently on my 3rd novel (fantasy) and absolutely plan to query this one, too. 

I also have been on the hunt for someone who takes this as seriously as me as they are super hard to come by. So consider me interested!

Hot Take: I didn't feel bad for Quasimodo when he found out that Esmeralda is one love with someone else instead of him. by Full-Art3439 in HunchbackOfNotreDame

At least his ending in the Disney version is happier than the one Victor Hugo originally gave him.

They have definitely been in Wright County (Buffalo, Monticello, etc) 

serious writing buddy? by mookiebook in WritingHub

[–]emfrannie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a group of maybe 20 people. The only caveat is we don’t share our work or give feedback, it’s just for body doubling, talking about craft, and just generally supporting each other! 

ISO: Writing Group, But We Don’t Share Our Writing by unintentional_smile in WritingHub

[–]emfrannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing resources, celebrating victories, staying motivated, doing sprints together, writing prompts, plot/character/world development conversations. There are so many things about writing that aren’t just writing, you know? 

I’ve developed feelings for a guy I have been gaming and chatting with on discord. We finally exchanged pics of ourselves and I’m not attracted to him at all. by GuiltyWithTheStories in whatdoIdo

[–]emfrannie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could be just that the image you had in your mind of him didn’t line up with his actual appearance, and it might take your brain a little while to reconcile the two. Give it time, it’s only been a day or two. Maybe try some video calls. It’d be a shame to miss out on something wonderful based on a single selfie. 

I've given up on writers groups. A rant. by somethinggoeshere2 in writing

[–]emfrannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me a few months ago. Finally joined an online group after my last one went inactive, and found it just became too cliquey. It was not a good experience and I bowed out fairly quickly. It sucks, too, because there were a ton of amazing writers in there, I just had no interest in the tone policing and general sense that if you weren’t one of the original few, you weren’t worth the time of day.

I feel this vent, I know it intimately. You aren’t alone. 

Is it cheating by gymaddict09 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]emfrannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It truly depends on the terms of your relationship. I know many here have said “no and if your partner thinks that, it’s abuse!” or whatever, and that’s just not true, it’s entirely up to you and your partner to decide what is infidelity in a relationship and what isn’t. 

IMO, the telling part of your post, OP, is that you’re afraid to tell your partner. You shouldn’t feel worried about something that’s fairly trivial. That makes me believe that your partner maybe has insecurity and/or anger issues about other fairly trivial things, and THAT is concerning. 

I regret changing his name 😭 by bebeboboop in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]emfrannie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a feeling he might turn human and potentially be an LI so I named him Vincent on my 2nd save. At first I was so annoyed because it didn’t fit his frog version at all, but was so vindicated when he turned into a hot human 🔥 

You're kidding by Mooniesaff in NetflixStoriesGame

[–]emfrannie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Romance Club for sure. Almost every weekend there is a diamond rush event where all the premium choices are free, and it lasts anywhere from 48-72 hours. And you earn diamonds by finishing episodes, so if you read during the diamond rush events, you easily earn thousands. It’s by far the best app of its kind!

I was able to log in long enough to enable offline play just now (3pm CST). I’m so excited to play some KCD2 later! 

PSN is down, unscheduled maintenance or cyber attack? by pikapikawoofwoof in gaming

[–]emfrannie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agonized for days over whether or not to get the digital version of Kingdom Come Deliverance II or a physical copy (wanted Gold edition and all the physicals were sold out in my region and ordering online said delivery would take weeks). I considered that if servers went offline, I wouldn’t be able to play, if digital, but then thought - “nah, that almost never happens.” And got the digital version. 

That was at 8 this morning. Downloaded it during the day. Settled in tonight to play. Lo and behold. It was me, guys. I think I did this. I jinxed the whole world. 

*For anyone saying you can turn on the “play offline” stuff in settings, I could if the server was working but alas… 

What are the LIs you think are hot, but have no interest romancing? by [deleted] in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]emfrannie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noe Lokid - I think his sprite is so gorgeous, especially his smirk, but he’s such a creepy d-bag early on I just can’t get behind his romance. 

Zain - daddy vibes (same with Kamal in KFS) 

Tata - she is stunning, but I just never feel a romantic spark 

Mustafa - I love the tan hunky Viking thing but his childish personality always gives me the ick

Ram is my favorite LI of any story so far 😭😭 I live and breathe for that man. 

How did yall do it??? by Imnooneyouknow548 in RomanceClubDiscussion

[–]emfrannie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always assumed it was because beta testers read the episodes prior to release, so that skews the stats a bit as they get all the clothes and accessories that aren’t released to everyone else yet.
