Well halleluiah ! I got an idea in my head good enough to write down. It's specifically about writing and if you get even more specific about it, it's about the couples that you find in the stories. Essentially, there are two philosophies about what makes people attracted to eachother. One is that opposites attract, the other, somewhat ironically, is the opposite of that, which is like attracts like.
Both of these philosophies have different effects on the development of both characters and should be thought of before you make your two main characters fall head over heels for eachother. When opposites attract a happy medium will usually be reached in the middle because of the two opposites moderating eachother. Don't use this if you like your character too much to change him or her.
Like attracts like doesn't mean that the two characters are identical. It does mean that the parts that they're attracted to in the other (because no couple should be beamig smiles the whole time) are shared between them in a fairly obvious way. These triats will tend to make the characters play off eachother and remain the same, possibly even become more of the specific trait.
So there you go. My thought of the...how long has it been since I started on this account? sweatdrop
