So I’m writing a story
I’ve been cooking this idea up for a few years now. But the main character’s dynamic I’m undecided on.
Which sounds better to you?
A male with no romantic inclination but a stronger brotherhood amongst other characters.
Or a female that’s alienated a bit but has a romantic interest?

4 RepliesWhy not both? Could go for dual interweaving storylines

Both, put interweaving storylines

Honestly, it depends on the rest of the story. Would a brotherhood make more sense than romance, or is it the other way around?

Romance in fiction [i]can[/i] work, but more often than not, it's an obtrusive distraction to the rest of the story. The Walking Dead, for instance, is a great example: the contrasting themes of familial love and animalistic sexual desires aren't out of place, but the romance feels so wrong. It's not even that prominent but it's so wrong. I personally hate romance, though, so take what I say with a grain of salt, haha. But overall, go with what feels best. If your plot and cast isn't that fleshed out yet, go ahead and work on it some more and see which character plugs in better.

6 RepliesI, personally, am so damn tired of there having to be romantic interested in stories, TV and movies. Be unique, kill everyone who is in love and then go out for a steak.

1 ReplyHm... What type of story would you want to make? Fanfiction? RP type story?

1 Replywell, do you have any specifics for the plot or other characters in mind?

don’t assume your character’s gender let them choose

2 RepliesThe second option will be more interesting if "alienated" means what I think it means. It provides the opportunity for you to write about abuse and exclusion, which provides further opportunity to write about mental illness and other reactions to that exclusion. This will become even more interesting both for you the writer and readers when you include the romantic interest and how that influences your protagonist's emotions. However, if you yourself have not been in this situation, it will be much harder to write about, and the worst thing a writer can do is write about something they don't understand. So if you haven't experienced these things, either in real life or on here you need to have a discussion with someone (or a few people) about what these experiences are like. That's my suggestion anyway. Tl;dr: option two but when you know more about it.
