Moana has Heihei. Rapunzel has Pascal. Who does your MC have?

Share a pic of the companion who keeps you warm while you write (or keeps you from writing!) or introduce a fur friend from your WIP. No pets allowed? Share a snippet where one of your characters is a dog or the GOAT!

Sometimes, a side character can steal every scene they’re in, making us wish they had their own novel (or giving us inspiration for a sequel!). Who’s your favourite side character, and did they/will they get their own happy ending?

Let’s talk pacing!

Some romances jump right to butterflies the first time the characters meet, and some make us wait literal books until the characters hold hands.

Does your #RomComMarch project dive into kisses, or are there pages and pages of pining? Which do you prefer?

Do you have an actor already chosen to play your MC in a movie? A gorgeous model who fits your LI to a T? Art that captures them exactly?

Fancast your characters so we can see them, too! #RomComMarch

What would you do if your life were a rom-com? Would you be the LI, the MC, the astute bestie? Would you need a grump to match your sunshine or a himbo to match your savvy? Would you fall for your college rival or your childhood buddy? #RomComMarch

Love a sequel!

Great playlist!

Amazing! All planned out already!

One of our faves!

Annoyances to lovers!

Great choice!

Love the moodboard but especially the quote!

Let's talk setting 🌴 🌳 🌲

Where is your rom-com set and why? What’s your favorite setting — a city, a small town, somewhere you’ve lived, or a vacation destination? Is your setting a dreamy backdrop or almost a character? #RomComMarch

Background: Solid pink. Along the top is a banner consisting of four red construction paper hearts of various sizes clothespinned to a hemp rope. Words: Favourite rom-coms! #RomComMarch Mar 7 2025

Share your favourite rom-com (book or movie!) and why it’s your fave. What makes it shine?

Because our TBR piles aren’t tall enough 😬😬

(Please note: it’s fine to plug your own published works!)

What're your favorite rom-com tropes? Which ones will you be including?

Let’s jump into one bed, meet the grump to our sunshine, fake date our childhood bestie while a fish out of water, all while in forced proximity to a secret royal!
