I like reading about love, Lila, if it's rooted in comradeship. I like reading about friendship first, that's more important to me. LotR's strong on friendship, that's why I like it so much. I would put couples into your story-- any writer writes well about what's fun for him or her. NazgulNumber10, you know best what your story needs. Some stories are about a lone character's struggle against him/herself in difficult circumstances-- I've written a few like that, although the story I'm working on now has couples, a stoic young couple just gaining each other's trust and a wildly romantic but frusterated old couple. I've been feeling more comradely lately. When I was in a loner mood, I wrote loner-confronts-the-ugly-truth stories. I go back and forth.
