On the internet, I saw someone had written something that said
"Someone should write a book where the main character slowly falls in love with the reader."
Do you think this would be possible? How would it work?

Well there are plenty of examples where the reader falls in love with the main character You might run the risk of the reader getting creeped out. Especially if you can somehow arrange it that the main character arranges flowers to be delivered to the reader's house ;D But joking aside, you would probably need to target a specific gender and type of reader, which would limit enjoyment for readers that don't fit into that category. Also, you would probably end up putting a lot of yourself on the page. I don't think I'd like to be that author (although I'm happy to do private works )

Haha, yes there are definitely examples of that!
Yeah it would be difficult. I just thought it was an interesting concept and wondered if it would be possible..

Possible?! Anything's possible. I once had a three-day-long conversation with my best friend about possible vs. impossible and we came to the conclusion that nothing is safe.
Actually, that might've been the conclusion to a different conversation...
Anyway the point is...
... What was the question again?
When I fall in love, whether it's on the page or in reality, I never seem to get it right.

I think that would be fun. Now I have to ponder this... may ask writers I know...
