In the Philippines, Precious Hearts Romances (PHR) is the most prevalent fan fiction romance lit. It has almost become a rite of passage for young girls who read Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys, Sweet Valley High and Sweet Dreams series, to move up to more mature reading materials like Mills & Boon. In fact, Mills & Boon and Harlequin Romances became the biggest selling genre of fiction in the early 80s. It comes as no surprise then why romance novels were so popular in the 70s. Readers are drawn to books with sappy stories about love, romance, and happy endings. Love and romance have always been popular themes in literature since people first started writing stories.
