Member-Sponsored Relationship to Remember Contest

Member-Sponsored Relationship to Remember Contest

Details

Deadline:Dec 31, 2013
Fee:Free

So here's the plan: write a flash or short story that features a relationship event or celebration in no more than 3000 words. Your entry should include the following:

  • Two characters, no limits to sexual preferences, who fall in love then discover they each have a secret, maybe a fetish.
  • You can include any secret or fetish that you wish to, as long as it usually is performed between two people, or potentially will change their new relationship.
  • You can place your story in the future, the past, the present, as you wish.
  • We're a romance group, so the emphasis of the story should be ROMANCE!.
  • No limits on heat levels, just be sure to mark it appropriately if there's mating going on.

The deadline is December 31st and winners will be announced on January 10th, 2014. If you have questions or concerns, head on over to Writers Who Love Romance and ask away!
