"Hi Nejla (what a lovely name!)--
I certainly get the point, and oh, my, did I let it out in Shadow Souls. আপনি are right. I was just telling a Swedish reader that আপনি should always follow your হৃদয় and in SS I did follow my heart. I didn't think anyone would like the book because it was about another dimension and the girls were slaves--my publishers tried so hard to cut that out, but I felt that Damon was আরো mature when he had a "family" to care for. With that book, I followed my হৃদয় in everything.
There are some Stelena scenes, too, and I meant them; I felt them. But পাঠ করা it over was like a whack over the head. I still think it's the best book I've written since the original Vampire Diaries. And I do have to admit that the romance sort of sizzles about Damon and Elena. But whatever would I do with poor Stefan?
I'd better introduce some girl characters fast. But please remember, the endgame may not come for a while. I am at the mercy of Alloy Entertainment and Harper Publishers for this for the original বই were "written for hire." That means that I was a desperate young writer who would sign over all my rights, just to get published and be promised that I'd see my বই in actual bookstores. (Despite good reviews, this didn't happen with my first two books, Solstice and Valor.) So I don't own many rights in regard to The Vampire Diaries, and have to fight, tooth and nail, to have my own plots.
Would anyone possibly consider the "Katherine" solution? Elena is with Stefan for the দিন and with Damon for wild, wild nights? After all, men do it. They just don't mention their mistresses to their wives. Elena, being আরো honest would want to be forthright about her choice. অথবা maybe she gets pregnant with Damon's baby...
In any case আপনি have excellent English. I don't even know where আপনি are from. But thanks for a thoughtful and passionate email!
