Re:

The "Big A" (or "The Zon") is ruining a once great idea... but I suspect that is the goal. Why? I don't know. Maybe it was allowing too many people to make too much money.

I went to unpublish one of my stories on Vella since I finished it 60 days ago and they have a message that states it will take 60 days to unpublish to allow those reading to finish. Good grief!

I too used to read True Romance but had to keep them hidden. I was at boarding school and we were supposed to read uplifting and worthy literature for young Ladies. Well I read that as well. LOL

Re: Pat

I remember that magazine as well. My mother used to read it. Oddly enough, that's what I learned to read when I was ~4. 

"She" also likes me a little bit, which makes me happy, too.

Interesting post! I agree with things you said previously about romance stories being the same plot, different characters/settings. I remember reading stories in a magazine called "True Romance" when I was 14 or 15, and believed the stories were real or at least what real people were most likely to do. Only after a few disappointments did I decide it was all pretend and wishful thinking. "She who must be obeyed" must be so proud of you.
