Round One: Romance

Ah, love. It's hard to say precisely why romance is such a popular subject in literature. Is it the near-universal fires of desire and pleasure? The drama-rich potential of a love failed or forbidden? The sheer comedy value of normally stable characters making idiots of themselves in the advanced stages of a crush?

I can't be sure, of course. Fortunately, I don't have to figure it out and exploit it, now do I? 

After all, that would be your job.

Pairings and Prompts

All right, everyone! Let's get to the fun stuff: what am I actually going to make you write for me? And more importantly, who do you have to ruthlessly crush to advance towards glory?

Jordie and Clara

You've lucked out: your only requirement this round is that the romantic relationship in question may not be heterosexual.

Kata and Jacob

Let's check your knowledge of history, hmm? Write me a relationship set before the year 1500.

Ishmael and Shailee

Ready to dust off your classics? Give me a relationship which is mythological in origin (no need to stick to the Greeks if you prefer another culture's lore).

Morgan and Carl

You two have a deceptively simple task: whatever love story you tell, give it a genuinely happy ending.

Hannah and Alan

At times, young love can be the hardest to write. Write me a story where the relationship is one or more of its participants' first love.

Annie and Shay

For you two, I have only one requirement: your story must include the death of a loved one or its aftermath.

Ace and Shane

Here's a challenge for you: write me a relationship which has failed or is in the process of failing.

Ollie and Nerdy

Strong starts are always good, no? Give me a story with a meet-cute.

Amanda and Dan

How well can you play with a time-honored trope? Write me a forbidden romance.

Moon and Etta

Who says love is exclusively human? Write a romance with paranormal elements.

Karla and Dragon

Ready to go? Your submission must include a wedding at some point in the proceedings.

Due Date: Friday, October 12 at 10 PM EST
