This contest is sponsored by Storywrite Academy, specifically the 'Navigating Storywrite' class. The Academy is about learning. I'm not very good with Romance, so give me your best so I can learn something. Make me come to love one or both of your characters.
Rules:
Must italicize at least one word in the story. You may edit a prewrite to do this. The formula for italics is:
>i>text>/i>
Reverse the first and third > to face <.
If you're a gold member using rich text, you may italicize using that method.
The word limit is 2,500 by Storywrite count. Anything above that will be ignored and probably removed.
Adult content is allowed, but not required.
This contest is currently limited to thirty entries, but that may go up.
Other than that, standard rules apply.
Have fun.
Andy, teacher of 'Navigating Storywrite'

- Final notes: Hi there all you romanticists !
It's been a difficult time for me in the last month, so I would like to thank SageSyren, one of our officers at Storywrite Academy for helping to judge this contest in my stead.
Congratulations to the winners!!!! In first is Carly Pop with Cinderella Revisited. She's a long time member from Allpoetry, one of our seven sister sites, who's trying her hand at stories and has done quite well. She rocked the socks off in this contest.
Reaver has added to his trophy mantle a silver with Tabbris and Lailah. You might wish to check out his Xixer series about vampires.
The Angel's Whore by SilentMoonDance is a unique story about an angel willing to sacrifice it all for the love of a prostitute. SilentMoonDance ran away with third.
The honorable mentions are:
Tainted Desires by CallMeWhenUrRich
I Love You (1) by DeathByChocolate
I remember our first kiss by tonialoise
Forever or never (Complete) by StarOfDreams23

Cinderella Charming was dusting one of the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling of her enormously large ballroom. It was by far her favorite of the fifty rooms in the castle as it reminded her of a story book evening ten year• Commented on by judge. [remove]
