Hello and welcome to the Role Reversal Watch Challenge, a challenge brought to you by the Role Reversal (RR) Drama Lovers Club to explore role reversal dynamics in dramaland. 

If you don't know what RR is, please check out the information section of the club for a thorough explanation. Here's a summary: Role reversal refers to dynamics where the traditional m/f gender roles are reversed (usually in relationships). These can vary in what kind and to what degree. (RR is the abbreviation for Role Reversal)

FAQ:
Q: Who can join? 
A: Anyone! Even if you've never watched an RR title before. 

Q: So what counts as role reversal? 
A: That's ultimately up to you to decide. If you think it fits, then you can use it on the challenge. If you have doubts about whether or not a title fits the prompt/is RR, feel free to ask in the club.

Q: Can I only use titles with the Gender Role Reversal tag? 
A: You can, but you don't have to. A lot of titles are missing from that tag, or can't be added due to various reasons. 

• If you're struggling to find titles for the challenge, please check out the various userlists listed in the index, or you can ask in the club for recommendations!
• If you have any questions about role reversal or the challenge, ask in the club.
