The Meeting In Real Life Shipping & Smut Meme

Even before the relatively recent advent of the internet and email, people have found ways to communicate with others they're unable to talk to directly. Letters, telephone calls, smoke signals, messengers, messenger birds, and speaking through cracks in the walls are just some of the methods that have been utilized by the crafty. All of this, merely to be able to talk to someone? There must be something to it all. Of course, there's always the potential that this non-face to face communication is rife with deception. If you're going to lie to someone, you might as well do it when you can get away with it easily. After all, they won't see what you're really like, and chances are they won't fact check. You can say whatever you'd like. Still, there's a reason concepts like penpals have lasted so long. There's liberation and a certain amount of truthfulness that comes from indirect correspondence. You can be yourself, spill secrets you wouldn't usually, and open yourself up to someone you can't see - sometimes more than you can around people you know in person. There's less fear of judgement that's inherent in the medium. In this meme, you've come into contact with someone and become close. Very close. It doesn't matter which mode of communication you've used: modern characters may chat online while characters from a fantasy or historical setting use letters, with anything from magic to even talking through prison cells in between. What does matter is you've come to lo- like this person, maybe more than anyone you know in your "real" life. There's no one you know quite as well...and you've never even seen there face! You've heard their voice at best, most likely not even that, but you have no real idea what they actually look like. Does that matter, though? Now you're going to know everything about them, because whether through accident or planning, you're meeting them face to face. Is this chance everything you dreamed of? No matter what, there's some part of you that's dying to see them because you care for them so much. Yet things might not always go so smoothly. One of you may have embellished a little - or a lot - about themselves, or even if they're exactly as they said, you might not have expected them to look like this. If there's been nothing but lies, however, it may not be so easy for you to forgive them. And what about those sparks that flew through your correspondences? Will that chemistry continue, or even boil over, when you meet up? Essentially, the premise of this meme is your character having a connection with someone they've met via letters, internet, smoke signals, whatever, them meeting up, and passionate sex happening. With potential drama, angst, or fluff depending on just how much everyone matches up to their "communication persona." Reply with your character, preferences, the usual. In addition, you may want to mention how your character will come off in any kind of correspondence. Reply to others. If need be, plot things out. You can also play out prior correspondences (letter sex, anyone?) or just the first meeting. Have fun!
