Hello all! I'm working on a new Highlander time-travel romance novel--in the plotting stages. But before I could continue, I wanted to know what readers want as far as the time-traveling element, in a story. My hero is a hot Highland warrior from the past, and the heroine is from present day.
When you're reading time-travel, do you prefer the hero to travel from the past to the future, the heroine to travel to the past, or a mix of both?
If you'd be so kind as to fill out the poll on the right side of this blog, I would be grateful!
Cheers,
Eliza
I voted for the hero/future only because it feels like most time travels usually go to the past. I like the idea of the confused alpha male dealing with flush toilets and lingerie.
ReplyDeleteI like when they go back and forth, I like seeing the past thru contemporary eyes and the present thru ancient eyes.
ReplyDeleteI do love putting myself in the place of a heroine who gets to experience history in the making, but it might also be interesting to see what a historic hero would think of modern men--whether they ignore the old traditions of chivalry in mistreating their women or whether they are the type who's "in touch with his feminine side."
ReplyDeleteI definitely prefer going from the present to the past.
ReplyDeleteI like both but I voted going from the past to the future because I'm curious to know how such a historical hero would fare in our modern world.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for weighing in :) I'm leaning towards both... I think she will go to the past and then they will both come to the future. I love seeing both sides of the story too.
