<Snipped quote by Euphonium>
I believe we are in agreement here. When I come on this site, the last thing I want to write about is romance or that other nonsense they post about. I just like being creative with my writing. Not looking for romance. I have a wife, whom I love dearly.
Exactly. I just want to go on some wacky adventure and shoot some zombies in the face, slay some orcs or do something that's just cool to RP. I don't want to write about how Jim loves Bob or how Sarah makes love to Connor.
And on @Euphonium's note, I am ashamed that most of my old 1×1 interest checks consisted of "my OC×canon".
CanonXOC bores me. I don't see the fun in RPing a character that someone already created, especially when someone just wants to romance the character.
