Explore the possible outcomes
You can read every outcome before playing. Compare a theme with a real example from your life, and keep any part that gives you a useful question.
The Bookshop Debate
Your rom-com starts with two strongly held opinions and one badly hidden smile. The conversation is the event, not a shortcut to agreement.
A prompt to try: Choose the harmless topic you would debate.
The Familiar Table
Your story begins with an ordinary place that slowly becomes shared. Recognition, remembered details, and an unhurried conversation create its charm.
A prompt to try: Name the cafe detail in your scene.
The Accidental Adventure
Your opening scene takes a wrong turn into a better story. The memorable part is choosing to enjoy an unexpected moment together.
A prompt to try: Give your fictional adventure a title.
