While my editor works on my next novel, I'm working on a short story. I'm trying to figure out what genre it is. The best I can come up with is rom-traum.

Two traumatised people falling in love. With funny bits.

Is rom-traum a genre? And if not, can it be?

@clacksee I was going to suggest "Rom-atic", but that just sounds like it has trouble bending down to lace its shoes...

Hmm. It sounds like it skips the comedy part. And I don't want to write something really dark. Like, it will have darkness. But the overall vibe won't be dark.

@clacksee Yeah....Rom-com-traum, if you can accept that "traum" is pronounced "trom". But it sounds intriguing!
