THE ROMANCE NOVEL/EROTICA PLAYED STRAIGHT MEME

Romance novels. You all know them. They're the books with the embarrassingly bad cover art, usually paperback, that are either stuffed in the back of the library or on a whirling shelf at the grocery store, begging moms and grandmas to pick them up. At best, they're softcore pornography, with terrible euphemisms. At worst, they're irredeemable shlock with cliche plots that are a dime a dozen. Some are even so textbook that when you express interest in wanting to write them, the company sends you fill in the blank forms to follow. No joke.

Still, there's something charming about these cheesefests, and a lot of the time, their tropes are tropes because they're genuinely enjoyable. These meme celebrates all the glory of terrible erotic, romantic fiction - played completely and utterly straight, in all its over-the-top hot mess-ness.
