Munday: Love story

Let's talk about LOOOOVE! Specifically, the romantic kind, although there are of course many different ways to love somebody.

Answer the following questions in as great a detail as you want~

1) Are there any romances in your story/canon/fanon/universe? [If the answer is none, go to question 4]

2) How central are these romances to the story in terms of plot?

3) How important are these romances to the characters themselves?

4) Do you like 'romantic plotlines' in the fiction you enjoy, even if the genre itself may not be specifically romantic?

5) Do you feel love stories between characters are used too much, not enough, or just right in the stories you enjoy most?
