Valentine's day is coming up, and because we're all socially defunct losers who will die alone we're going to have to live out our romantic fantasies through romantic fiction. To do this we're all going to have to chip in ideas to create the greatest romance novel ever written

A few guidelines to get started:

The protagonist must be an average middle aged woman who has lost all interest in her life/relationship
The love interest/s must be larger than life muscular males
In the event of more than one love interest, each love interest must be defined by a singular personality trait (the smart one, the sporty one etc.)
There can be sex, but only if it's implied and not explicit
One of the male characters has to turn out to be gay

On that note I invite you all to get writing your ideas for the next big thing in the romance market.

As the OP rises from the bed he whispers sexily while fondling his abs "Mom, where's my protein shake?"

5) I hear you.
Can we please make the protagonist a 320lb lady? I feel like my body type is severely under-represented in romance novels and it suggests that People Of Size are not desirable which is systematic oppression. The male love interest has to be taller than 5'9 with at least 8" penis and must be fit and attractive, also rich.

This big, fat woman divorces her ugly husband and abandons her extremely needy children for a life of adventure and romance with a muscular man with long hair and an earring. They have sex but it is only implied. At the end it is revealed every character other than her and the love interest was gay, especially her hated children. And they all lived happily ever after.

The big fat woman is divorced, depressed, and only gets to see her kids at the holidays thanks to her messing up court appearances and being too fond of the bottle. But one day, while motoring around the Wal-Mart in her scooter, a gorgeous hunk of a man with no shirt and a pair of cowboy boots catches her attention...and she catches his! They end up going back to her place, ready to enact every hot and wild fantasy she's ever had as she starts kissing him and kissing him and kissing him

But then she wakes up and turns out she just got drunk and fell asleep slumped in front of the open fridge again and she ate an entire cake.

Got them WMD's! Got that Pandemic!
Struggling artist Kelly Saunders lives a dystopian life at a corporate job she hates. Her perverted boss thrills in torturing her simply because she finds him physically repulsive, her coworkers have shunned her because of her luscious curves and bodacious rack, and she can't quit or she'll lose her apartment. Will a chance — and extremely hot — encounter with a sexy biker at a gas station spell freedom or trouble?

Please include "she reached under his kilt and shaped his manhood." I don't remember what book it's from, but if you change the words around enough it's not technically plagiarism, I think.

thats kind of sweet, actually. the desperately lonely romance novelist spinster found love with a real person instead of dying alone while waiting for a fictional perfect man to sweep her off her feet. it is weird how his body is a perfect cylinder, though.

Have him basically stalk her and kill anyone who might speak to her a little too sharply or look at her wrong. Like she leaves a trail of bodies wherever she goes and slowly becomes paranoid, locking herself in her slovenly apartment and venturing out only to get food and supplies, terrified that whatever is killing those close to her is going to kill her next.
But then it turns out it's a vampire who is killing everyone because he LOVES her and she's like "Awwwww!"

no joke the wife of a friend's friend wrote a romance novel where the lady had bulimia and had numerous chapters where she kept throwing up strawberry ice cream and stuff, and she was also a soap opera star and everybody loved her and kept offering her jobs and it was hard to choose, and she had a fiance who she hated who was a lawyer, but really she was in love with his partner who was also a lawyer but a BETTER lawyer and he liked to dress casual at this law office and wore jeans, a tight white t-shirt, and cowboy boots every day and smelled 'musky'

...one of these--
As he hath spices of them all, not all,
For I dare so far free him--made him fear'd...
Nap Ghost
Aight. I'm on board and also bored.

Your typical romance novel has your A character and your B character (Alice and Bob), and the plot is just a series of events in which B moves from being threatening to being accessible. For instance:

* A owns an indie bookstore and B owns a non-antiquated bookseller, and some event reveals to A that, despite his seemingly heartless retail efficiency, B is actually a decent guy.
* A is a special needs tutor and B is a eugenicist, and B gradually realizes that all people are somehow equally valuable and blah blah blah.
* A is a a librarian with a fire ant colony for a vagina, B is a hunky and otherwise-normal construction worker, and A joins a formicophilia chatroom only to discover that B is the moderator.

Whatever.

If A is the average American woman, she makes about $17K. We could give her a boutique career, since that's what the principals in romantic comedies tend to have, but you can see that the careers within shouting distance of $17K afford us limited options, namely:

* Shampooer
* Fast food worker
* Barista
* Farm Laborer
* Nursery Attendant
* Carney

Anything other than fast food could be suitably boutique; barista lands there pretty easy ("I really want to be the next Jonathan Franzen," she said over the burbling of the espresso machine), but you could just as easily throw A into a kale farm, an upscale animal shelter, or a cohort of self-sufficient traveling recreation attendants ("some people need a family to find out who they are," A said, driving a tent stake into the hardpan, "but there are other ways to do it").

If A's love interest, B, makes more than five times the average American man's $30K he's almost certainly some kind of CEO, dentist, or doctor. That only gives us a few choices:

* A works for an organization for which B is the CEO (such as a kale farm).
* A works for an organization for which B is a customer (such as a coffee shop).
* Both A and B serve some third party (such as a senior center where A is a hair shampooer and B is an attending physician).
* A and B meet in some other way (the class differences probably limit this to public spaces like parks, unless this is a fish-out-of-water story where A fronts or B slums).

If we further assume that B is practically perfect in every way, the reason he's threatening to A are similarly limited. Either:

* A is insecure ("he'd never even want to talk to me," A said as she rinsed a tiny espresso cup, "not unless he wanted a half-caf for his drive to the hospital").
* B is affiliated with a threatening party, such as a current girlfriend or cohort of douchebags ("you'd better watch your step," girlfriend sneered as she threw a handful of kale into the trash, "you don't know how much we international models can threaten someone like you").
* There is a misunderstanding ("you can't!" exclaimed sassy gay friend. "The employee handbook forbids flirting with anyone else at the senior center, girl. And a doctor like him only wants one thing from a Betty-looking Betty like you, Betty").

Hope this helps. I may write one where a perfectly average carny falls for her dying mother's anesthesiologist, but thinks he's out of her league until she discovers that his parents were part of a circus sideshow.
