Member-Sponsored Love is in the Air Contest

Member-Sponsored Love is in the Air Contest

Details

Deadline:Feb 28, 2014
Fee:Free

This contest is all about romance. Any kind of romance. Please write a story under 3000 words that reflects that heart pounding, pulse racing feeling of falling in love. Make our toes curl. Any kind of romance is fine, and any genre. If you want dwarves in love, or robots in love, or vampires in love (please no sparkles) it’s all good.

The only requirement is that the story have a romance as the primary element. I like happy endings, but I am also a sucker for tear jerkers. And I will not be the only judge. I would love to see some stories that get published come out of this contest, so please write with publication in mind.

Love is all you need to win.

There will be two first prizes—one a free premium Scribophile membership if you don't have one, and the other karma if you do already have a Premium upgrade. Please indicate if you have a premium membership in your entry.
