I'm writing a YA where I'm not in love with my MMC, but I'm so PROUD of him. Just as if I'm his mother. haha. I puff up with pride when he does something good. Haha.
But in my normal (adult) works, yeah, I tend to have a little crush on my MMCs...
I was going to say I'm weird, which I am, but at least this time I'm in good company (with Cathy C), b/c my heroes are right for my heroines, but wouldn't necessarily be right for me. So, no, I don't fall in love with my heroes, but my heroines do.

Recently had a guy over. Wasn't cutting it. Fantasized my hero into his place instead.
