I'm not a fan of Flash Sentry. I couldn't stand EG enough to watch the whole thing, but I hear he had no personality in there. So he is a blank slate, upon which I scribble.
I'm not a fan of romance stories, generally. I didn't want to write a romance story.
I've heard it said that you don't write what you want to read. You write the story that's rattling around in your head. So this is the story I've got, and this is what I'll write.
