Stories about Love and Romance

Ok, so you want to write a story about love. You want an oddball girl falling for the quarterback. You want a troubled teen getting the popular girl in school. You want Mr. Romeo himself to catch Ms. Juliet before she falls because of the broken heel in her dress shoes. Wrong.

It has been done before people. What don't you get about that? If you want to write about love, that is one hundred percent A-OK. But don't make it like every other story. The oddball girl falls for the quarterback who is addicted to crack. The troubled teen falls for the popular girl in school who is actually a lesbian. Mr. Romeo only catches Ms. Juliet before she hits the ground because he thought she was a man and Mr. Romeo is flaming gay but Ms. Juliet, over time, gets him to change teams.

Come on people, let me see some zest. Anyway, sorry for the rant-like post. It's not that I don't appreciate the hard work that you put into the story. Just... well... don't make me read it. Make me want to read it.
