Still, it irks me when people feel the need to add their own characters into a story to pursue a romance that would never happen. Let’s use a common example like Harry Potter. Draco Malfoy is not going all mushy for your dumb blue-eyed excuse for a character, end of story. Captain Jack Sparrow isn’t going to be wooed by your amazing ‘lady pirate’ with the uber fighting/sailing/seductive skillz.
Despite this, my worst nightmare has yet to be revealed. This is the very last thing I want to see when I’m looking for a good story to read:
Freddy Krueger + Original Character in a heartfelt... I mean disgusting romance.
I find that disturbing as all h-e-l-l. Anyone who finds THIS attractive needs some serious psychotherapy:
That guy killed children in a past life. Is that seriously the kind of guy you want to date? He’d rather slice you in a dream than take you out to a fancy restaurant and give you flowers. Freddy Krueger is the kind of dude that feeds off fear and misery, so romance is out of the question. Don’t even give me that “she can change him and they’ll live happily ever after”. Makes me sick. I can’t even stand the “Well, it’s one-sided, so she’s not attracted to him”, though I’m sure a few whack jobs out there get off on that kind of stuff. Bottom line, Freddy Krueger is not going to fall in love with you or your character.
Freddy Krueger: Helping out with population control since 1984.
This is why I should be President.
