Ummm....I've told you before. I am a brunette!

And that's why you're not on my Valentine's list! Well, that and the fact that you're not my wife.

I'm just being up front with you. I'd hate to leave you disappointed and heartbroken on Valentine's Day.

Goodness! Now that I see the thread that does make it official. I have two other vacations coming up. I planned to just read, I suppose I better get writing!

In my experience the time before a competition evaporates

And Valentine’s starts just after the Christmas / New Year holidays and so factor that into the time you have available.

It truly does. It is bam bam bam next thing you know the snow is melting and we are writing for Spring

Bump

Aren’t things that go bump for Halloween ?

Yeah...*thump* is more appropriate for Valentines Day.

 

[deathlynx]

A little bump (and grind?)

Thank you

 

[EmilyMiller]

There is less time to go than you think

 

[KittyOfSteele]

AH, would you be upset if I submit something of 85K?

I'm setting everything up for this, I'm quite excited!

Go for it! I believe a ~80-90k story won Valentine's this year with a perfect 5, so you should absolutely toss that sucker in! Good luck

Do it!

Go for it, why would AH be upset.

 

[KittyOfSteele]

Go for it, why would AH be upset.

Because schoolgirl erotica is cringe.

*Actually, there are no schoolgirls in my plan. I'm just making a joke by asking AH if they would be upset because 750-word stories also upset AH. Regardless, meow.*

I have a beginning of a story that have been stewing for a while that would be great for this theme.
This could be the kick in the butt I need to get it going.

Cool

Given the theme, are the stories strictly supposed to be prose? Or would a poetry submission be acceptable? I suspect it is allowed but didn't find anything that said one way or the other.

(Also *bump* )

We had this question last year. IIRR, poetry gets included in the comp list, but isn’t eligible for the prize. But I can try to confirm and post the answer here.

I asked, whether or not I get an answer .

“We currently do not include poems in the story contests, though authors can absolutely submit poems based on special contest themes for publication!”

This applies to all competitions, obviously.
