The Find a New Ship Meme




One of the best parts about RP is finding ships you never knew you wanted. But sometimes it's hard finding exactly what you want, especially when you don't know the other canon (if it's crossover interaction) OR the other mun. Well, this meme takes away the pressure and biases brought around by unfamiliar names or icons. It strips shipping down to what it should be about: chemistry.

There are two ways to play on this meme. The first is the OOC route. The second is a more challenging, but perhaps more fun, route of having your character fill out a personal's ad. The best part? It's all anon at the start.


- Pick whether you want to fill out the OOC form or the IC form.
- For the IC version, feel free to assume your character was forced into it.
- Comment anonymously.
- Reply to others if you have a character who fits what they're looking for. You can stay anon for a few comments, but then you can pull a BIG REVEAL.
- For the OOC version, you can just offer your character. For the IC version, you might even want to "play" a bit before you un-anon.
- This is catered more towards crossover ships, but don't let that stop you if you want to do something canon. Also, friend"ships" are fine, too.
- If you both agree that it would be an interesting combination to play out, feel free to take it to another meme or play a scene here.


SHORT DESCRIPTION OF YOUR CHARACTER: Remember, no names or other easy identifiers.
SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTERS SOUGHT: Don't ask for specific characters; rather, list character TYPES you/your character are interested in.
OTHER NOTES: Put anything else here, whatever that is.



DESCRIBE YOURSELF: Your character, of course, may lie about this.
LOOKING FOR: Friends, dating, etc.
WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND/PARTNER: BIG BUTTS, NICE PERSONALITY.

Oh my. /LOL - Exactly this. Yes, half the fun!

One more question, hope it's not a deal breaker. How do you feel about OC's?

Not at all! I like OCs just fine. I've had some very good interactions with them.

The only sad thing is then there's no canon to go back in and read about.

/not so dramatic reveal here ha ha it's like the dating game - T-Then, uh, I'll offer up Meilin for a test run?

If I really end up having my way then maybe, maybe one day that'll change. They have canon I just need to WRITE IT ALL DOWN.

Sure! Is there a meme or scenario you'd want to testrun with?

That 'write it all down' part is pesky. Been working on it for years.

(also, might be late in responding for a while. need to make foods)

There are so many options I'm not sure where's best to start TBH, aside from "meeting". I'm game for pretty much anything, despite whatever the muse may argue. I can take a look and see. Museboxing is also an option for me if you want. What about you?

SO pesky. I've never been great at writing within time limits/frames.

No worries!

I can musebox, but I have to admit that I'm not very good at keeping up with them.

If nothing looks good at the moment in terms of memes, I will keep an eye out for her in new ones? I throw this guy around like a football.

I'm not as good with museboxes either, IDKW that is since memes are busier, but I understand in any case.

Well, is there any particular scenario you DON'T want? There's a domestic one, the blind date crossover, and a few others that could work just depending on limitations?

Blind date could work, as could I think I saw a random scenario one a few memes down but I might be imagining things...
