Unlikeable heroines

2001-03-12 19:45:37+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A realization about story structure: Call me naive, but it was only this weekend that I realized that romance genre heroines have to be unlikeable. While the hero's flaws can be misunderstandings, the reader/audience must be able to say "I can do better than..." to many of the heroine's decisions.
