Valentine's is Coming.

[EquinoxRising]

Or, well, the contest is. This thread is for brainstorming ideas for those who feel inclined. From the official contest rules:

2016 Contest Schedule

Valentine's Day
themes: romantic love, Valentine's Day, Cupid, sensuality, etc.
starts: January 20
closes: February 5
winners announced: February 12

I've been reading through old threads, too, to see what has been suggested in the past. Not sure how many turned into stories, but there's always room for more! (In fact, if you wrote a Valentine's story due to any of the past suggestions/ideas why not link it for all of us?! )

Let's start with the 2004 contest. Sirhug's Valentine Ideas was actually started in 2003 to give people a good head-start! In his first post, I really like the "red ribbon" one. Using sturdy silk ribbons about an inch to two thick/wide would make for some interesting bondage! Also, "chocolate cock" sounds fun, in either capacity!

In 2006 Sirhugs was at it again, starting the Sweethearts and Chocolates thread in 2005. And because the 2006 First time maybe... showed up in my Valentine search I'll mention this one, too. Seems a young lady who is bi/bi-curious but had only been with a woman before decided she wants to try a male; lose her "real" virginity, as it were. It was suggested this could be a romantic threesome tale, etc. Maybe all three people fall in love together?

2008 Valentine Story Contest Ideas was also started by Sirhugs. Busy boy!

He posted this idea in the 2003 thread as well.

while on the swinging theme, how about a swap meet where instead of the guys picking the women's car (or house?) keys out of the bowl, they pick a valentine?

needs more, I know...

So, what other ideas do ya'll have?

Valentine themes:

* St Valentine (the 3rd century Roman martyr, or maybe one of the other dozen canonized Valentines) is transported to contemporary USA and is most amused / enthralled / sickened / enraged by what's done in his name.

* The Universal Church of the Naked Jesus celebrates St Valentine's mass day with sacred orgies. Different sects within tUCotNJ practice their own varied and entertaining (yet holy) rituals for MF, FF, MM, FFM, MMF, FFFMMM etc groups. Holy hilarity ensues.

* A clique of Valley Girls (Val Gals) have a hazing ritual for aspirants: become Valentine Girls and fuck everything tha moves on The Day. "Gag me with a cock!" is their motto.

Hypoxia, do you think an Erotic Horror story could work as a Valentine's Day story?

Not if it's your AIDS one.

Anywho, stories don't have to be "romantic" to fall under the Valentine's category. "Themes: romantic love, Valentine's Day, Cupid, sensuality" is merely a guideline or suggestion.

The story I am writing has a pretty horrible sequence in the middle of it. It's set in the southwest US. I won't go into the rest of the story, but on the eve of Valentine's Day the brother and sister main characters are stalked by two gangsters who intend to rape her and kill both of them. They hide in an area of ancient Indian petroglyphs and the spirit of a cougar glyph comes to life. The cougar hunts down the gangsters and kills them, snapping each of their necks and severing their spinal cords. It's the usual cougar way.

There's more magic, then the next day is a lot more fun.

The Valentine's contest brief is pretty broad and I'm sure someone could work scary EH into it. Maybe I'll resubmit the rejected story of the pharmacist who explodes a girl when he injects a rapid-expansion drug into his penis whilst engaged in intercourse. That may be OK on LIT as long as she orgasms when she pops...

But your question isn't whether an EH tale can be submitted for the contest, but whether it would 'work'. That depends on the audience, innit?

Don't Vampires work anywhere?

Don't Vampires work anywhere?

"Unemployed Vampires Collecting Welfare" does that make for suitable V-Day entry?

Well, Valentine's Day is on a Sunday this year...so what if our protagonists are a pastor and his wife? They're a nice couple who are kinky as hell in their off hours. However, with Valentine's Day being on a Sunday, they'll only get a few hours to each other. So they decide to bring the fun along with them, with each of them having remote controls to toys that the others have inserted or placed on them and keep subtly teasing each other the whole day until they can finally get home and fuck like rabbits.

Why not? You can't spell "Valentine's Day" without a VD.

Trying to not dip into fantasy ideas just yet.

Maybe, guy works delivery ( flowers, food, etc) and he goes from house to house, getting more bummed out as he sees happy couples together. However, the last stop is a lonely woman who could use some company.

One story I've been wanting to do ever since chatting up the cashier at my local novelty store is like this: the cashier told me how working holidays sucks because there's very little business so sometimes she is there the whole day without a single customer coming in.

So what if we set a story at a novelty/DVDs shop in Valentine's Day? Cashier normally has less business in Sunday...and it's also a holiday, most everyone already bought what they wanted for V-day so all there is to do is organize the store. An ice storm rolls in, making her day even worse. When suddenly, she sees a car pull in. The driver (male or female) is desperate to get off the road and get in somewhere warm, not even noticing what the store sells. Customer is tempted to leave but the cashier is desperate for somE conversation, so she convinces them to stay. At first there's just small talk and awkward silence but as time goes on, the customer starts asking questions about certain titles, toys, and the cashier's interest in things.


Cashier answers questions, becoming more comfortable with the customer and forming a connection with them. Maybe she gets customer to check out arcade or curious about trying a toy, so she rings them up and let's them go to town. However, the thought of being alone with an increasingly horny customer gets her curious and she decides to seduce them before the storm ends.

I'm intrigued as to how you plan to answer the questions flying through my mind, with a completed story. So yes yes yes I'd like to read this. Please post a link back here when it's completed.

1. No.... of course not

2. I have a few ideas stemming from that idea though. I'll pick the best idea shortly, and report back.


3. It should be a story about chivalry not STI's

couldn't they get a job at the blood bank?

 

[A_Dark_Poet]

couldn't they get a job at the blood bank?

They tried, but for some odd (or not so) reason, they always got there after hours. The only other open job was delivering Valentine's cards to college dorm rooms while wearing cupid wings and carrying toy bows, and you know how particular they can be about long, pointy things...

 

[atariblue]

They'd keep sampling the deposits. Just like a bukakke addict can't work at the sperm bank. He/she would be too tempted in playing in the samples

Valentines for vampires -- when you give one your heart, it's literal. I dunno what they'd give back. A love bite?

I'm reminded of an old comic about a human working as the overnight clerk in a 24-hour stop-n-rob in L.A. that stocks take-out bottles of blood for the local vampire populace. It's the late-night vamp hangout. Some of those vamps are pretty sexy. What can the human clerk give as a valentine's gift to his favorite?

sounds like a rejected plot line from BTVS...

Oh c'mon now, there's lots of jobs available for undead nightcrawlers. Haven't you seen the overnight clerks at 24-hour stop-n-robs? The short-order cooks in all-night diners? Night-shift computer operators in mainframe data centers? Not to mention late-night talk-radio personalities and their guests.

Sunday

Well Valentine's Day on a Sunday must have a priest could start out with a wife confessing ..ha

 

[Hypoxia]

Yes, confessing her sexual transgressions, and confessing her own attraction and lust for the priest. Do they break vows together right there in the confessional?

I stopped in a couple churches in villages outside Naples (Italia) on Easter Sunday 2001. They were jam-packed madhouses with worshipers in the central rows and gossipers loitering in the outer aisles, little kids chasing around, couples necking in nooks, etc. Use that atmosphere in a story set in a remote locale where St Valentine's is a feast day and a Valentine's Sunday mass is always the scene of flirtation, groping, humping and grinding, confessional sex, etc.

 

[Strangebuddy]

As for Cupid ideas, maybe the little bastard decides to combat loneliness and obesity. So this year, all of those heart-shaped pizzas and candy will fill the consumer with lust, and go out and seek the nearest partner.

Roommates suddenly start banging, shut-ins run out into the streets, church groups have orgies, etc.

Trouble arises when a group gets together to watch a game and decides to order some pizzas.

On an old thread I started some time ago, one poster put forward the idea of x-rated heart candy that had various sex acts on them and people must obey and act out the candy's stated activity

 

[loquere]

I decided the idea is too good to share, I think I'll write it. LOQUERE OUT!

A Challenge

We've already discussed valentine scenarios for humans and for vampires. How about valentine stories with werewolves, zombies, orcs, unicorns, etc?

Okay, so that's not such a great idea. Valentine's Day is close to midwinter in the northern hemisphere. At least, we usually get the heaviest weather around then. Set V-Day stories south of the equator, maybe in nude beaches in Brazil or Oz or Namibia. Sweltering hot, sweat dripping, libidos energized, etc.

Or, in a small town is a statue of ancient hero Hakon. Every V-Day the statue comes alive and prowls the town looking for love. Locals know of this; bold girls traditionally hide themselves in Hakon's path. "Children of Hakon" are the town's elite. Of course, some girls secretly fuck normal guys on V-Day and claim the kids are Hakon's. Tsk.

With climate change more than just a myth, it wouldn't be so hard to imagine that in Anchorage or Reykjavik, 100° outside and the knowledge that V-Day and Doomsday may not be far apart making poeple shed both clothes and inhibitions in a desperate race to make that one last V-Day count...

On a completely different train of thought, the 24/7 sex shop in Slickmound Alley has a special V-Day sales offer. All items starting with a "V" are 50% off, and all customers whose name starts with a "V" get another 50% discount. Vanessa really only wanted to buy a sexy teddy to suprise her lover, but with these incredible prices and a very convincing sales clerk, she ends up leaving the shop outfitted with vibrators and velcro cuffs, wearing only a very naughty vinyl dress under her coat.
