- Always With the Romantic Subplot
Word of the week: Gimcrack
Romantic subplots are something many of us have become accustomed to in just about every book (especially in the Young Adult fiction universe), but do these sometimes do more harm than good to the quality of the story? In this episode of The Scripturient Society Ash and Karissa discuss when, why. and how to use romantic subplots - as well as how to determine when you might not need one at all.
