Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I'm planning a romantic drama but have run into a problem concerning character types.
My story is simple, it's about a boy trying to win the heart of a girl. However, there are two characters I can't seem to fit in - the antagonist and the stakes character.
The reason I'm having a hard time with the antagonist is because there seems to be no place for one in the story I'm trying to tell. It's simply a love story with no villain in sight.
And the reason I'm having a problem with the stakes character is because that's normally the romantic interest who is part of the "B" storyline. But like I said, I'm writing a romantic drama so there is no need for a second romantic subplot.
So I guess my question is, do I need to include an antagonist and stakes character for the sake of it? Or can I go without?
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
