@Nancy Fulda mentioned the two male love interests popping up in stories. Ugh, I'm getting kind of tired of that. It just seems like every supernatural book has that whole angle pretty much covered. It's played out and done.
It just seems like every love triangle is a human girl with something special about her, a hot vampire, and a hot lycanthrope of some kind. And every single time, there's all this "I totally hate you, she's mine!" No one ever says, "Let's share her" or "Forget her. I know two chicks that are just as good and we won't be fighting over them," to which the other guy can respond "Awesome!"
@eBooksgp, choosing between love or violence depends on what kind of book you're writing and what audience you're aiming it toward. I would not write "The Tell-Tale Heart" and send it to a bunch of erotica readers. It wouldn't go well.
I tend to just write what I would like to read and I figure there's an audience out there somewhere. Eerie voice: "If you write it, someone will eventually get around to reading it..."
