Romance Survival

[HylianRose]

Most people will probably hate me for this, but I have no shame. I would like a super sweet, super romantic, super dramatic romance RP with all the ships.

However, I need your help designing a setting and plot. So far I have a few ideas.

1) Boarding 'school' where life is fairly normal but the emphasis is on the romance.

2) Boarding School where an odd emphasis is put on romance. Something about declining populations? What the hell?

3) Four couples decide to buy a house together and live together. Friends since elementary school, the four friends and their spouses take their children with them. The only catch is that for the first year, the parents will be on a year long trip around the world. What will come of this? (Absolutely no incest on this one.)

So, what do you guys think? I'm finding inspiration and building an OP as we speak. I just want to know what people would be interested in.

(I'm also kosher with magical beings.)

[Color_Weaver]

I might be interested.

[HylianRose]

What would erase the 'might' in that sentence? :3

[Color_Weaver]

I like the sterotypical boarding scene, but what might be interesting is if each couple was the head of a click. Example being jocks, nerds, punks etc.. Maybe have an unofficial school war with the various groups.

[HylianRose]

Hm... I like that idea but I also like the idea of the relationships forming organically.

However, paired works just as well for me.

[Agamous Devout]

You could have a school that is so divided into various Cliques, that they are trying to encourage romance in order to foster positive relationships across social boundaries and prevent the situation from becoming a war...

[HylianRose]

That's also an idea. The cliques, led by these couples, are so tight and bound from being with anyone other than their own group. Eventually, some thing has to give right?

Or we could go more @Agamous Devout's way and have the romance be the peace between them. The leader of the groups, the student president, in an effort to bring peace develops "arranged relationships" between them. Which could lead to some interesting interactions and drama.

I would love to do a romance RP but I refuse to do schools and teenagers. It was bad enough being one. :P

@Wick

I actually prefer college age...

We could simply make it a sort of summer house where people stay and nix the clique idea altogether. But we would still need some sort of defining plot to drive the RP forward.

Lol what if they were interns for the year (medical, law, business pick one)

[PhunkyPhoebe]

I could be interested in this.

Here's my two cents: what about summer camp? Think maybe rival camps or something all those lines. That would still kind of put them at school age, but they wouldn't actually be at school.

[Matador]

Lol, definitely interested. Been looking for something out of my comfort zone and I NEVER do romance so...

Maybe a mix up plot would be good? Like, a Medieval Fantasy/Romance or Sci-fi/Romance setting.

[my Lalia]

Interested and I like @polyatomicbeing idea.

[bix]

Yo, I'm up for almost anything. :) I particularly adore sci-fi, tho.

[NarcissisticPotato]

This looks pretty good! O:

I don't know much about the reality show thing but that could be built into it as an aspect. I really like the ideas on the characters having some sort of rivalry because romance and rivalry always go hand in hand!

[Color_Weaver]

I like that idea too

[MissCapnCrunch]

I adore any and all of these things <3
I'm a sucker for romance- sign me up!

[HylianRose]

@Wick Lol. That might be interesting.

@PhunkyPhoebe

I would be down. Though I think I'd prefer if all the characters were staff unless it was some kind of 'adult' summer camp.

@Alder

I actually don't do sci-fi and I'm not particularly in the mood for medieval. I think I'd rather keep it modern.

I'm somewhat interested in this, depending on what the plot will be ^_^!
I like the ideas posted above already, but just another idea to add to the list of options:

- what if we had a reality TV show focused around certain pre-made pairings? the couples wouldn't necessarily have to be in love, but they're doing it for the cameras? In order to not restrict the characters right from the beginning, as I think opinions will change, it's possible for the roleplay to have twists. Person A and person B could be a couple but person A likes someone else from another couple? That'd add drama, haha. it's a pretty loose concept I'm thinking of.
side note: I also happen to prefer college students over high schoolers but there could be a variety of ages on the show?

<Snipped quote by Alder>

same^^ i'm not too experienced with romance either haha

@polyatomicbeing

We might be able to work with that. The summer camp could be the show and then we have our 'adult' camp. So without needing to be staff, the characters could be anywhere from age 18 to like 30+.

Edit: Also, this exploded while I was asleep. Thanks for all the interest and input guys. :)

@HylianRose

Could be a Big Brother-esque show if you're wanting to go down that path.
Obviously can change however you want it to be- but that's a summery setting with adults.
