: Re: How to handle writing a romantic subplot when the main plot is very different? So let's say the story is about a ''anti-hero'' who uses harsh methods to kill/expose corrupt politicians and banksters.

Avoid killing/raping/otherwise injuring the love interest (particularly a female love interest) just to create manpain in your anti-hero.

Avoid making the love interest a plot device with no other background, characterization, or purpose than being a Love Interest.

Avoid making the love interest a helpless pawn who has to be rescued all the time.
