You know, I didn't know how hard it'd be finding good het romance until I began trying. Maybe it's just that I've been up to my eyeballs in yaoi/slash for the past few years, but it seems that yaoi/slash fics vastly outnumber het fics. It's really interesting, considering how a great many published books have het romances.

There. Now this is what I'm talking about. (Reading flist entries backward, so I read your other one about feeling lonely first.)
