Love triangles? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What does everyone think of love triangles? I'm thinking of writing a GI fic with a love triangle, but I don't want anyone to be upset by who I made fall in love with whom, so I want to know, love triangles,

Good idea or bad idea?

I say go for it.....it's your story, you can pair up whomever you like; just make sure the pairings are believeable, don't stick Gilligan with Lovey...THAT might be too much!

Good luck with that

Of course, you should write whatever you like!! If you're going for believability with relation to the actual show and its implications, though, I would say that there are not actually any "triangles" going on but "cheating" in some form--either threatened or transpiring could be believable. Then again, there could be any number of reasons for a
triangle to arise within existing relationships. Good luck!!

Yes, I agree, this fanfiction board is dead. But maybe it is just a little dose of the curare plant and will wake up? It would be nice if someone would write something. I know I seem like a hypocrite because I don't post any fanfiction myself. I have lots of ideas but wouldn't post them because I don't think most of the readers would "get" my view of the characters. In other words, in my view, I'd be writing "in character" but I don't think most readers would see the characters in some of these ways--so what would be the point?

Still, I have some suggestions to liven up the board. Once before I suggested--poetry.
Not everyone feels he can think up a plot or wants to but some nice poetry either about the characters/island or in their own voices could be written. Also, what if we put in some orders for stories. For example, I'd like a story about....whatever. This might spark some authors to write and also take the heat off of them if they feel their story is not so up to par.

hey, from your posts, I always agree with how you see the characters and I'd love to read any fanfiction of yours or anybody's!!

I'm still writing gi fanfic but haven't posted it here in awhile because no one replied/reviewed which was a little disheartening... but I'll give it a try again in hopes we can bring this board back!!

As for the poetry, GO FOR IT!!!! I'm not into writing poetry that much, but I do love reading it, and it would be a nice change.
