Epic Post Romance

This is a style of novella compilation I’m going to be writing in the future. I assume my science fiction will become increasingly retro-futuristic. It will be exploring LGBT themes, and the tragic life of dealing losing your lover do to an untimely execution by guillotine. Setting will likely be French take over of US as per usual for me these days.

By retro-futuristic, I mean it’s a time period during the Industrial Revolution where certain character from French history show up in the American wild west, exploring their life as they would have lived it in France. It also different from the wild west in the state struggling to regain dominance, and increasingly brutal law enforcement tactics.

Also as per the usual, the MC will be a self-insert that is of Scots Irish descent, and the political differences of the pairing.

Post Romance is different from romance in that the plot is usually about the memories of interacting with your lover, with special emphasis on them getting the chop right from the get go when the story starts. The rest of the novel is exploring the childhood adventures had with that lover.

For example Hemato Tomato is highly Post Romance. Almost stereotypically so.
