stories

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'romances' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'sister diverted with love' is the wordplay.
'diverted with' indicates anagramming the letters (letters must be diverted to different positions).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'sister' mixed up with 'o' gives 'STORIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stories that I've seen before include "Tales" , "Floors" , "See 21" , "For example, scoops" , "Accounts" .)
