   Still trying to figure out what a “woo woo” romance is, but loving these. Run for the RWA Board. Do it.

   Tis flawed, though. What if your woo-woo folks are having smokin’ hot sex…

   In a stagecoach.

   I’m glad the real categories aren’t my job. :tomato:

   And what if your hero’s a vampire?

   Would you have a woo-woo romance…or a romance featuring a dead body? :eyebrow:

   What about sf/f or future-set books that have no “woo woo”? I guess we’d have to define woo woo. Some may assume you mean something about a train or that it was a typo of woo hoo, which I hope all romances have somewhere

   :clap: Roflmao I love the category suggestions. I don’t understand how the RWA continually discriminates against authors who write hot and steamy woohoo. I think that it is so wrong on so many levels.

   If your an organization for romance writers you should support ALL romance writers, whether they write the hot stuff or the cold stuff and whether it is released on dead trees or the internet.

    Oh. Just got “before microwaves.” :doh:

    Y’know, because I was thinking dey were doing it in front of the microwave. As opposed to before microwaves were invented.

    ‘Scuse the ‘splody head. Which comes from wanting to knock a few non-‘splody heads together, sigh. :bang:
