The Official Valentine’s Day Contest Support Thread 2026

[EmilyMiller]

Led by @ChloeTzang, we are trying to get our ducks in a row for 2026 competitions. Time flies during this part of the year, and before you know it, Valentine’s will be upon us. So, forget about gray skies and pouring rain, get your loved up stories ready for the Valentine’s Day Competition, which starts early January.

[dates will be revised if applicable]

You can begin submitting on (or before): January 10
The last day to submit is: February 6 at 11:59pm EST
Winners will be announced on: February 13

Here's the rules:

• All submissions must be stand-alone stories created for this contest theme.
• We will allow authors who have won in our monthly contests within the last 6 months to win in this special contest. However, if you have won a prize in one of the last two special contests, you are not eligible to win in this one. (I'm still going to enter, just because I'm that romantic)
• A story has only to accrue 25 votes to be eligible, rather than the 50 required for the monthly contest.

Author must copy and paste the phrase "VALENTINES DAY 2026" to the "Notes to Admin" field of the submission (quotes are not needed).

Again -- PLEASE do not forget to put the EXACT phrase "VALENTINES DAY 2026" IN THE "Notes to Admin" FIELD - NOT the description field or anywhere else.

Submissions must have a Valentine's Day theme: i.e. Cupid, soulmates lost and found, high quality chocolate gifting, etc. Be creative! Please don't just submit a normal story that just happens to contain red roses. That would not be in the spirit of the contest, and readers (aka voters) will likely punish you for your trickiness.

Bring your questions and comments here, we're all here to help each other!

That's called Sweetest day, it's in October. I think?

 

[SamanthaBehgs]

OMG I literally just took a story idea and said "yea, this works so much better for Valentine's Day, maybe there's a contest for that I can try." Gotta watch this thread now!

 

[Aoife_from_Ulster]

Hmmm I have been working on a perfect Sapphic story. I can’t wait

 

[Trionyx]

Took the opportunity to go back and read a few of my old VD stories. I still wonder where I get some of my ideas from. They were not winners but I’m still proud of them.

Okay I love a good writing challenge but am seeking your thoughts.

Last year I challenged myself to write a story for each Lit category. I have an idea for the V-Day challenge, a Transgender story. I wonder how believable and realistic a V-Day story would be with Sophie a bisexual woman and Isla, trans woman, but only partially. Sophie falls for her only to learn …

Yes, complex, challenging and difficult but what do you all think?

I think that’s an entirely suitable premise for a Valentine’s story.

Thank you Emily! You know sometimes we all seek a little support.

 

[EmilyMiller]

People will be glad to hear I’m not going to be posting a Valentine’s image each day (kinda just fell into that for Halloween and thanks to Literotica for allowing it). Instead, I might post a short poem each day.

For example:

Roses are red
Antarctica’s south
If you treat me right
You can cum in mouth

Loooove love love that artwork

 

[kreemi_pi]

You are my Valentine's crush
Your beauty, it makes my heart rush
My desire, so cruel,
You're my orgasmic fuel
You turn my vajay into mush

 

[EmilyMiller]

That’s the site’s it’s pretty, right?

 

[kreemi_pi]

@EmilyMiller ...silly me, i didn't even stop to think it's nowhere near VDay

Oh it's gorgeous...reminds me of @desibabe2705

Tisk tisk @EmilyMiller .

Now I am wondering how I can add that into my story!

Me personally I love when my wife cums in my mouth

 

[Trionyx]

Have a nice idea for a VD story based on an oldie but goodie song. Now the dilemma is whether to place it in the VD contest or the Music Challenge. I’m sure it would not win the competition but the exposure would certainly be worth it. But I’m hosting the challenge and should have at least one decent submission there.
Decision, decisions, decisions.

So I've completed a VDay story about which I'm not terribly enthused, and I just took a gander at my back catalogue and realized I'd written another eight pages on an unrelated VDay idea that, I now realize, is pretty interesting. I'd utterly forgotten about it.

I'll see what I can knock out for this one.

Your enthusiasm is infectious

I am about 7,500 words into my V-Day story. I am writing this with the full intention of it bombing totally. (Just being honest) I am trying to challenge myself and write a story for a category I have not yet attempted.

We shall see my loves.
