Personally I'm not a big fan of romance as the main genre - I prefer it to be secondary, only acting as a side to spice up the plot and aid in character development. Even less for ERPs (the last time I attempted this it went out of control - maybe it's because I'm still new to writing smut and the other person took advantage of my inexperience); I might give it a shot again in the future, but for now I can't really get rid of that horrible aftertaste yet.

As for canon pairings for such RPs, I feel that it depends more on the players' capability of handling canon characters than hating canonical pairing ERPs in general. Of course, anyone would love to nuke those players who defiled their fandoms with their cringe-worthy p0rn garbage.
