Comment L'Amour: An Epic Romance in List Form

by JaneThermopolis

Published October 2, 2010

An idea I came up with while thinking of my next installment to my flash fiction anthology. This is very different from what I've written previously because I believe your personal interpretation of this story will be different from mine, and everyone else's who reads. Use your imagination! I had fun writing this because I got to use a lot of double or triple meaning titles or words to explain what's going on. Rated 12+ for some sexual innuendo. Anything italicized is a movie title and anything in quotes is either a line from a song, movie, book, or phrase.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and have fun making this story your own! Thanks for reading! :D

What's with all the old romantic movies? And "diamonds are a girl's best friend"? Well, as a story... it passes.

This was kinda odd, but in a good way. It does seem more like a poem, but I understand what your trying to do. Or at lest I think I do. lol. It's good and different, something very hard to come by in a romance. Good job and keep writing!

I am going to say that this was weird. It may be confusing but if you read over it you can understand it.
It was all the themes that go along with love, or that persons love life . It was the process of a normal girl's dating life.
She goes out on dates, gets dumped various times and finally she gets married. This list allows the reader to create their own stories. I do not have an suggestions, cause this is one of a kind.
