How to write "Action" in Romance ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[ACertainPassingUser]

Any tips on writing "Action" in Romance stories ? I want to spice up my Romance story with some hot "Action". ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Throw in romantic one liners for the action sequence.

"Prepare to be terminated."
"Here's Johnny!"
"Say hello to my little friend!"

An axe, an ex and a German supplex

*sigh* you know it's quite ironic that you post this since i for some aparent reason can't write it for the love of me. I mean i could imagine the scene in my head and i got more then enough "materials" but i can't put it out on paper.

Maybe i could ask my gf to perform it with me ?

It's actually quite easy. Make the romance your sub-genre, not your main genre. There are dozens of series out there that did this to very great effect.

Ranma 1/2 is a comedy gender-bender that has romance as another one of it's genre tags, and the romance does play a central role.

Detective Conan has mystery as it's primary focus genre with age regression as it's primary gimic, but it was originally conceived as a romantic comedy in which the age-regressed protagonist winds up living as the semi-adopted little brother of his love interest, and while the mystery and action angles wound up taking over the series ultimately, the romantic angle in the series is actually made incredibly powerful by the slow burn it has as a result of the primary focus on the mystery and action aspects. (It goes from a romantic comedy to a heart-wrenching romantic tragedy as a result of how it ultimately turned out.)

The Ancient Magus' Bride is a high-fantasy series that is incredibly lore-heavy and faithful to old traditional fairytales, and the magic system in the story relies heavily upon negotiating with supernatural creatures for your magic. That's the main intrigue part of the series, but as the title suggests, it's also a romance series at it's heart.

That said, all of this does mean that you really can't throw in action "just to spice up your romance series." It has to be initially conceived of with action as part of it's structure, and even have a primary focus on something other than romance with the romance angle being treated as a sub-genre in order for it to work.

Bruh, he asks about seggs.

Bruh, he asks about seggs.

And I answered honestly that it doesn't work well as seggs, and laid out how it actually works.

Bruh, you answered in the wrong thread. Here's the thread where a person might need your advice.

How To Write Romance In Action

I’ve heard a lot about romance and action stories separately but not sure how to implement them together. I don’t want Romcom energy to be prevalent in my story but just want to blend the two genres… but forget a lot of basics easily. I know it’s kinda obvious in theory to write a romance...

"Now go fetch your sister."
"..., I am your father"

real sex is aqward and ugly. having hand experience is vastly superior due to gaining experience in what looks good. not what feels good

Much easier said than done, at least for most of the people on here ?

Simple, fade out. In a scene in my rewrite, mc is on a packed bus with his love interest under a blanket. I mention her flushed face and quickened breathes before ending the scene. This allows the reader to imagine what is happening

 

[atgongumerki]

if you mean full-on smut, then read full-on smut and check out how they do it

if you mean non-smut action, just describe it without much detail and avoid certain words, you can also include sex without actually describing it at all. for example, you can have a third person asking them how their night was with a wink or a raised eyebrow or a million other ways to have someone insinuate that someone else or they themselves fucked without actually "showing" the action

it all depends on your style and how "deep" you want to go

I answered in the correct thread, I told him it doesn't really work for "seggs," as I said. It has to be planned from the beginning. Also, what I suggested was not "romance in action," what you just linked would have been "the wrong thread." I answered how to intermingle romance and ANY other genre, and emphisized that however you do it, it has to be planned from the beginning or else it won't work.

He probably asked how to write sex scenes. I can't understand how your answer is in the correct thread.
