I know JRR Tolkien didn't have a romance in Lord of the Rings, but do you find it neccassary and more exciting to insert people with love interests and perhaps couples? Or two people who develop int partners? I know that I find it much more interesting for the reader, and moref un to write.
Personally, I always try to have a romance in my stories, but I try to have it be one that you wouldn't expect. Like instead of the heroine falling in love with the hot warrior, she falls for the skinny weird looking guy who she meets on the road. It makes it more interesting if everything isn't predictable.

What about making up languages? Do you think that adds to a story, or just complicates it?
