Start a new RP with a bang! It's the Meet Cute event!

Posted by Kim on February 6, 2016, 9:15am

This week, the RPR challenges you to arrange a "meet cute" scene between two characters that have never met one another before. The results don't have to be romantic, but they do have to be funny, dramatic or so off-the-wall that it's the kind of thing people will talk about for years to come.


What's a meet cute, you ask?


A meet-cute is a scene in film, television, or literature in which two characters meet in a way that is so unusual or memorable, it seems as if their coming together must have been fate.

This type of scene is especially a staple of romantic comedies, commonly involving contrived, unusual, or comic circumstances. Frequently the meet-cute leads to a humorous clash of personalities or beliefs, embarrassing situations, or comical misunderstandings that further drive the plot.

You are encouraged to not only choose a character that you've never played with before, but a player you've never played with before, too! This is a perfect chance to make a new friend and experiment with potential new RP partners without any risk. It's up to you if your RP will continue beyond the first meet cute scene!


If you are posting a RP ad on the Looking for RP forum, be sure to include "Meet Cute" in the title so others interested in giving this experiment a try can easily find you -- and so we can list your ad here!

Looking for a meet cute? Try these!

@Rhythm - encouraged does not mean required! But the encouragement is not for you to make a new character, just to find a character played by someone else that you've never RPed with before. :)

Oooh... Sounds fascinating! But then, I need to revamp my characters' profiles before I feel ready to take this on.

However, I love the idea! I'm so in!

<.< 'encouraged' means it doesn't have to be new right? *is in the boat of having full slots and not wanting to delete but has characters that have hardely been used* ^^; besides that question, I'd totally be on board.
