I quite enjoy a well-written yaoi or shonen-ai story n_n

I've had some straight and lesbian romances that I enjoyed (Girl Friends is a tooth-achingly sweet manga) but not nearly as many as the boyxboy pairings
 
No romance is the best romance. :D //shot

Okay, no, but seriously, I've to admit that I like heartbreak more than the actual romance. Especially if my character gets to break them. I have no preference there in the pairing, just mutual respect and a lot of [IC] dramatic feels~~~

As a roleplayer, I prefer my romances as straight, because I enjoy it the most and am straight myself. Just like how I prefer playing a girl cause I am one. We play what we know and what interests us this most, and there's nothing wrong with that. 8D

But for really special people (or when I have a really cool charrie idea!) I will play gay couples male or female! <3 Sometimes I play bisexual characters too, but those are always a surprise cause I never start off going "they're bi" I just end up discovering it while playing. O___O


In romance novels, movies, tv, etc I don't care and don't have a preference. When two people have good chemistry, it's HOT and you can't stop watching/reading. O__O *COUGHCOUCHCOUGHDEANANDCASTIELFOREVERCOUGH*
 
I have no preference. I will happily write romances between any two (...or more) types of people if I feel like they mesh well and both myself and the person playing the other character are comfortable with it. Of course, that last part is not a concern if it happens that *I* am playing both sides of the romance, in which case other players can complain all they like; these characters are getting shipped.

But strangely the ratio of the sexuality of these pairings is rather skewed. While in a few of the larger projects I'm working on with friends that might span several generations of characters in one setting there are plenty of relationships of all shapes and sizes, in most cases the roleplay has not progressed far enough for these relationships to actually come to fruition... so almost every roleplay romance I've actually gotten to the point of writing for, bar a small selection, has been a homosexual pairing. For example, I am currently working on a romantic relationship in a roleplay between a six foot tall brawler gal with mechanical gauntlets and a hyper-violent Celtic culture fetishist.

It's an interesting pairing and it is glorious to write for.
 
I have no preferences. While I end up roleplaying a heterosexual pairing more often and usually better, I also enjoy femslash or slash couplings. To be honest, I write femslash better than slash. ^^'
 
Well, being a gay man, gonna have to go with gay relationships (yaoi kind of leaves a bad taste, idk, makes me kind of uncomfortable, no hate tho) because that's what I can relate to. Str8 relationships are to me a bit boring, they're everywhere in media anyways, and I can't roleplay women to save my life. :D

Poly is entirely acceptable as well, if it includes two or more guys.
I feel you on the yoai vs gay label thing; I alway feel a bit awkward calling it that heh and the straight over-saturation in media also makes me a bit more picky about like "hey if you're gonna do straight romance like everyone else you better make it really good."

EVERYTHING. ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING IS MY FAVOURITE. Because each and every one offers something unique and fulfilling.

I mean... I've been a GM for several years. To make big, interesting worlds full of lively and unique NPC's for the players to discover, you need to do more than just an army of cis white male scum. (Of which, I am one.:rotfl:) As a result, I've done the following romances/sexual encounters. (Keep in mind, most of those sexual encounters went for a fade to black so I wouldn't have to kick out teenagers in my RP's.)
  • Heterosexual love involving a regular male and a female.
  • Homosexual love involving a regular female and another female. One of these is actually one of the longest lasting and most famous of my romance arcs with another player (@Tempest ) between Queen Kouri & Queen Alexandria in Legend of Renalta 2. It's lasted about three years IRL so far and is still going strong.
  • Homosexual love involving a regular male and another male.
  • Love between a female and an entity that did not possess a gender.
  • A romance arc between a woman and a summoned golem creation with the embodiment of her dead husbando.
  • Actual tentacle sex. No, really. That shit is canon in one of my RP's. Go Mikan, you sultry minx you.
  • A romance arc between a thief who had been raped and two-half succubi (controlled by @Andrea ). Yes, the tails were in fact barbed. Yes, it was Mikan again. Sly fox, that one.
  • An obsessive romance arc between a male summoner and his dead waifu, who he bound into a summoning tome with his own blood.
  • A sex scene featuring a gender-swapping non-sex-binary demon named Lust who rapes her (preferred pronoun) own daughter--Gluttony--for fucking up a poison.
  • Heavily implied lycanthrope sex.
  • Love between a female and a male artificial intelligence trapped inside of a ship. Yes, that was a woman falling in love with a star ship. No regrets.
With any luck, thanks to my newest RP, at some point I'll get to add possibly one or two more AI relationships, and some clones in there. Also, telepaths. Shockingly haven't touched telepaths in a relationship yet. Oh, that reminds me about my villains...
  • An archangel of several hundred years falling in love with and becoming obsessed over a bisexual princess who said no to him got blue balls and murderized an entire kingdom, then raped "forced sex" his older sister. He continued to obsess over this woman he could not have until his need to have his love reciprocated totally and utterly consumed him and caused his fall from grace into becoming a demon. Now he literally plots to rape her children.
  • A mutant who believes in the genetic superiority of his race, who has made it his priority to protect and attempt to convince another mutant that he loves her, even as she continues to love someone else. He protects her in spite of his otherwise violent nature.
  • An incestuous relationship between a ten thousand year old pure blooded vampire and his older sister, an undead assassin. After having lived for so long and gone through so many mental and physical changes, humans are little more than amusing playthings to them--they can't form significant emotional attachments with regular people now, who live and die in the blink of an eye. However, they do protect and care about each other--even if the relationship is unsettling as shit from a normal person's perspective, for obvious reasons.
So... As you can see, romance (and sex to a lesser extent) is kind of a big thing I do in my role plays. I've done it for years, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, and I honestly think it can add a unique layer of depth when done well. To pull out what is an absolutely elitist view--I kind of find it sad if, when delving into the infinite stretches of creativity, you bind yourself solely to what you know and find comfortable. How are you supposed to grow as a creator if you only ever stay in your safe spaces? When I wrote women originally I sucked horrible ass at it. I had no idea how to write women flirting--it came off about as subtlety and cleverly as a brick going 350 miles per hour into the side of a Ferrari and as believably as Jaden Smith's acting. However, I practiced, and I practiced, and I practiced.

Now I can write just about any damn romance I want to, no matter how bizarre it might be. I had to get better at it to make my worlds more interesting and my characters more varied, and my antagonists more humanized. You know what makes the Joker even better? Harley Quinn. You know you get an author to learn how to write Harley Quinn? By learning how to write outside of their gender comfort zone. :ferret:

Trust me. If it fascinates you, do it. Just, do it! Make, your dreams, come true! Also it will massively improve your storytelling abilities. So... If you like to write romance, occasionally try stuff you don't know how to do, or which is out of your comfort zone. You won't get better at it until you do it. So... JUST, DO IT!

DO IT!
personally I do really love the idea of stretching my romance types that I write and play as because being someone you're not and seeing new perspectives is what rping is all about in my eyes.
 
I went for the last option because I don't really care whether or not romance is a thing in roleplays. It can be fun to have it, and I can be just as happy without it. Doesn't bother me either way.

Actually, you just need some love, Grumpy Bear.

Maybe, but not from you. I saw your approval of tentacle sex. Get away from me, you deviant. >:[

Even though I chose straight, any really would do. As long as there is a connection between two characters, no matter gender, it is alright with me. Now instant romance, first couple of posts the couple declare their undying love for another....that is just something I can't get into.

I'm with you I like my romance to be on the slower side and more organic

UH.

How dare you.

I never understood why incest turned people on so much. Until I read fanfiction.
It's still not my cup of tea, but the more you know, right?
