This is my favourite trope to both read and write. It's always fun watching the characters learn, grow, empathize, and make sacrifices as they go from animosity to love. Seeing them struggle and deny their feelings when they first arise. And of course, banter is the bomb!
As a huge fan of the two of you, I thought this trope talk was a little less successful than the others. I really liked the prior ones with essential characters, essential subcharacters, essential scenes, what scenes do you really want to do well in, and what type of audiences like that trope. I think the examples of the trope are still great, but it feels hard to latch onto the conversation without having all of the core ingredients as talking points. I know these are supposed to be improv, but still! Just like hearing your opinions.
Great talk on this trope. Thanks for doing these.

Yes! I agree!

Well try to keep improving over time. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the feedback
That's a good question, Michelle, because this trope tends to be my least favorite unless it's done well.
It can be tricky. Sometimes the characters just end up fighting all the time, and that's not fun to read.
Exactly! lol But I've read all your books, so thanks for doing it well.
