I answer to a survey on fantasy romance and suddenly I start receiving ads about novels where he DECIDES that she is his, he WANTS her, he DOES NOT ACCEPT her refusing him… WHAT’S THIS? Are we back to Middle Age?!
          	I CAN’T STAND passive, submissive, docile heroines, as well as arrogant, a$$hole, bullying male protagonists. Very few romance novels, and even less fantasy romance novels meet my taste. Even very celebrates sagas like Outlander disappoint me deeply.
          	I like stories where the female protagonists are capable of standing up to males – even when named females are taken captive, b€aten and t0rtur€d – and are equals to their men, and where the male protagonists use their head even with raging hormones and behave with the utmost respect towards women. This doesn’t prevent conflicts arising, even hard ones, between the protagonists!
          	It looks like an overwhelming majority of female authors think that romance has as a fixed rule the dominant male / dominated female relationship. I’m fed up with this backward idea, degrading both for woman and man.
          	Well into the 21st century, it’s high time to just stop with the “woman happy to undergo the male cravings” stereotype! #nobadboy #nosubmissivefemales

Dear Lady Angel E, I read the story of Fangirl's Dream, Nives1.  I was very pleasantly surprised by how good the characterisation of the two protagonists was. 
          I was expecting a naive, shallow portrayal of the male character - an idolisation that would make my eyes roll with exasperation and incredulity.  That he would be a perfect super being! 
          But no, though this is a fantastical, whimsical story, there was a lot of realism (if one considers the characters as fictional beings because of course, we don't know the male protagonist). 
          
          Thank you for sharing it. ❤️I hope to read more of your works too.

@ZeinubFerozanIbrahim hello dear! I thank you for your comment about Nives 1. I tried my best to be as true as possible to whatever we know about RA, coming from his interviews and from what his friends and colleagues tell about him, hoping it would result into a believable portrait. What you say makes me think I succeeded, and this makes me happy. Thank you so much for reading and commenting this story. I hope you'll appreciate the sequels too... expect much fluffiness and romanticism though
