Polyamory's Image Problem

A love story has 2 who meet, fall for each other, but there is a protagonist, something between them that drives them apart
That is the antagonist. The protagonist is the main character, aka the "hero/heroine"; the antagonist is the source of conflict (drama), aka the "villain."
 
Wonderful coincidence--just as we're discussing this, 20/20 ran a piece on polyamory last night! They sandwiched it between E L James and male escorts, but the polyamory was very much about the love, very much average Joes and Janes who happen to have loves outside their own marriages.

Now, if only Shonda Rhimes was brave enough to just hook some of the potential triads/vees on Grey's UP already... I mean, there's a lesbian, a bi woman, and a baby daddy co-parenting happily. Would be a tiny step. ;)

Thanks for that. would you believe I make spare $$ writing at times. LOL. All art and no rules. But the rules are important, I'm sure ;)
 
Can attest to similar pressure in publishing. Oy, you picky bastards, be glad it's legible...
