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
