So I deleted my romantasy poll, not because people were being pedantic, as is usually the problem, but because almost all of the reblog replies included people saying that a story can't function with a romance as a main plot and reducing romance to things that are not at all what romance as a genre is actually about, and that was enough to tell me that at least a decent number of votes were from people who objectively do not like romance as a genre, which also meant they were literally the people I told to not vote in the poll, as it was a poll about fantasy romance and not about fantasy, as these are two different genres.

Anyway, if you're seeing this post and you read romantasy, as herein defined as "a romance story set in a fantasy world", which do you find yourself more invested in--the relationship between the main ship or the fantasy elements? Do you prefer the story to be driven by a "fantasy"-type plot, i.e. "clan wars" but where the romance is a pivotal aspect of that, or do you prefer the story be driven by a "romance"-type plot, i.e. "rivals to lovers" but against a fantasy backdrop?

You cannot have a fantasy romance in which the romance is not pivotal to the plot, so again, if that is the kind of fantasy you like, you enjoy *fantasy*, NOT *fantasy romance*, so I do not need to hear from you. I already know what you like. Thanks ^.^

#if you show up in my mentions just saying that romance cannot carry a story I'm blocking you #everyone else feel free to interact #romance #romance books #romancelandia #romantasy

Yes I dog ear the corners of my books, No I don't care when the pages of my books come out, I appreciate the signs of wear and tear, I like it when they look like they've been read and absorbed, like they've really influenced me, I like it when they look like they belong in a museum, yes we exist.

‘No one fits,’ she said at last. ‘Not in the way we want to, at least. But we find our own places. We carve them ourselves, in the work we do, in the people we love.’

ALL THE PAINTED STARS - Coming March 28th!

What do you do when you hear your friend's unwilling hand in marriage is the grand prize in a tournament? You cut off all your hair, steal your brothers' armour and ride in the tournament yourself, of course.

All The Painted Stars is a sapphic medieval romance novel about using the power of ADHD and this sword you found to save your best friend from the shackles of a marriage she doesn't want. Also there's beer.

ATPS is the first sequel to One Night in Hartswood, starring Raff and Penn's sisters Lily and Jo. It is a standalone story, but does contain references to the events of Hartswood.

All the Painted Stars contains...

⭐ Best friends to lovers

⭐ Hidden identities (well, she tries)

⭐ Letter writing

⭐ Women in armour

⭐ "Aren't you tired of being nice? Don't you want to go ape shit?"

It's available for pre-order NOW everywhere books are sold!

Full blurb and CW under the cut!
