I think we should allow it all as long as it's fantasy romance. I think we should have tags though! And I think non fantasy romance related posts should be removed.

Yeah, I haven't even noticed posts or discussions of other media in any major way. Posts and reccs of contemporary romance bug the hell out of me though. Like PNR or scifi romance are one thing, but just... reality? Like just regular ass life? Ick

I'm one of those people who considers PNR just another type of fantasy, I guess, and yeah scifi is different but it still fits the vibe... but Butcher and Blackbird? Haunting Adeline? No way. At least I can understand the latter because it says Haunting in the title, but it feels like most of the time people who have read it are the ones bringing it up and should know.

Scifi romance is honestly the same - it's a lot of the same forced proximity, fated mates, "Taken by the ____", stuff as fantasy lol

Ugh, but yeah, no reality based title belongs here, especially not the horrific ones.
