Hello. SteinbeckisGod here with a rather unusual request.
I've got this story idea bouncing around in my head: A freelance explorer goes on a date...with a sapient planet. Well, it's more like the planet goes on a date with him, as she's the one who asked. The problem is, everything she knows about human romance/courtship came from a collection of cheesy romance novels. Hilarity ensues.
So far, I'm managed to finish about half of the outline. There's a problem, though: l I am a 27-year-old man with a love of science fiction who knows diddly-squat about cheesy romance novels. If I'm going to write this thing, I need to know more. What kind of plots do such novels have? What are their characters like? That kind of stuff.
You seem like the kind of people who would know about such things. Could you help me?
