    this sounds nice.

    I wiki-ed it Virg. I'm reffering myself to this definition
    a literary archetype referring to a character that rejects established norms and conventions, has been rejected by society, and has the self as the center of his or her own existence

    Actually, the nominations we receive will also tell us how our members define a romantic hero as well, I think

    Please do not forget to PM me your "romantic hero" nominations by March 7th.
