It's raw you donkey

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

by cheap do you mean having the writing come off as being trite or do you mean it making the character feel cheap?

i think that this particular trope gets negative reactions because it's been done so badly and so often before, but there are aspects of it that can be really interesting. the one i've always found the most fun is having the "bad" character be especially ~evil and flashy~ to get the attention of the "good" character and then not really knowing what to do with it when they do eventually get it. is seduction a goal? or are they just lusting silently from afar? do you have the other half of the pairing on board with the ship, or is it going to be an exclusively one-sided thing?

i can't be helpful until i know a little bit more about what you want to come from this.
