@AOOP09 Technically, I don't think he's called me a spammer.
He HAS accused me of trolling, lying, and persecuting people who upvote their own posts, however.
(BTW, in the future, there's no reason to '@' someone unless you are trying to get their attention).
WRT to the OP:
I, too, have been blocked, so I'll give my two cents here. The obligatory chess match, as mentioned by
@S_TANISH, is a no-brainer; it provides a form of symbolic tension and competition between the two characters. You need some sort of conflict in order to have the characters interact in a somewhat plausible manner.
EDIT (after reading post #30): Actually, a hate story isn't a bad idea at all. It plays on similar, albeit diametrically opposed, emotional stimuli as the love story, but doesn't have a reputation of being cliche.
