RIGHT!! Like, the whole love triangle in the hunger games was completely pointless to the main story, so imo it shouldn't have been in there. I'm okay with romance if it feels natural and right with the story but most of the time I'm just like "eh." Just not my cup of tea, I guess. (That's why I didn't completely put Luna and Grey together in FY, though looking back I think I could have made it official and it would have been fine
) I find platonic and familial relationships far more interesting! I'm glad other people have different interests than me though or otherwise fiction would be SO BORING.
I imagine stuff about characters all the time -- but like you I never write them out xD A lot of the time it's because I know it'd never work or the characterization is terrible because it's just for fun.
I should replay Guardian Signs...I only played it once ;; As much as I loved SoA GS deserves more of a chance aha
