meet cute (n.): fictional scene, typically in film or television, in which a future romantic couple meets for the first time in a way that is considered adorable, entertaining, or amusing.
So the prompt this month is simple: Write a meet cute.
I know that some of us aren't big on AU or going too adrift with canon stuff but this is just for fun. Give it a try. You don't have to post on FFN if you don't want to, just leave it here (unless it's M rated, please). Borrow a meet cute from your favorite romantic comedy, no one will complain. This can be fun and I think we'll all enjoy whatever you come up with. Feel free to comment with your favorite examples of meet cute. Here's mine...  sorry can't seem to make the image

This is a great idea and I'm totally inspired! (But I'm actually still struggling through January's prompt - it's happening, just... slowly.) Here's my meet cute (not actually a "meet" since they've already met - but made me think of M/G given the whole lake/rowing business..) I realize not everyone's Canadian  - so FYI, this is a scene from (another of my fav classics) Anne of Green Gables.  |

Can anyone help me with a little info? Does anyone know what book Brigitta had her nose buried in at the beginning of the film and if so can you tell me what genre of book it is?

Here's a bit more information I dug up while googling the title of the book. The info was posted by Angela Cartwright herself on her Facebook (which I took a screenshot of, I hope it's readable when you click on the thumbnail):  |

Thank you, thank you. I'd managed to find the name of the book but that was as far as it went. I would not have placed a bet on Brigitta reading a romance novel but I think it fits pretty well. Hopefully I'll get the time now to try and flesh out the idea that I have in my mind for this months writing prompt!

So I have uploaded my February story called "Between the Lines" but unfortunately it is not showing up on FF.net because of a code 1 (?) error. If it appears I'll post a link. Thanks to lemacd for casting her eye over it for me. I think after deleting the story and uploading again twice I've managed to get it to work. Here's a link! Between the Lines |

Just to say I've posted a short story on Fanfiction.net; not quite a meetcute, more of a 'pre-meetcute'! Hope nevertheless you enjoy it.

Chapter 3 of Between the Lines is up! I'm only able to do this as it's half term here this week. Next week I'll be back at work and won't get much time to write so the next chapter may be a while longer before I post it. Thank you so much to those of you who have read and reviewed it so far. |

Slightly late but I'll have a go...my favourite is between the Prime Minister and Natalie in Love Actually - but I don't think that would fit Maria and Georg's characters! |

OMG that would be amazing as the PM and Natalie are also my favorites from Love Actually (closely followed by Aurelia and Jamie I might add). I can watch those scenes with Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon just over and over again. But you're right, they wouldn't really fit Maria and Georg's characters. You could make an AU story though... |

- so FYI, this is a scene from (another of my fav classics) Anne of Green Gables.
