Love is in the air!! (Comments on every entry)

It's everywhere and we simply can't ignore it! yes, it's love!

I am one of those hopeless romantics: crazy about romantic comedies and stories. So your task is...make me happy!

Give me stories about love, but not just any random love, beautiful love. Tragic, sad, impossible love. Just make me go 'Aaah!'

So for the rules...don't worry, they're not that bad!

[1] Erotica is ok, but seriously, if the whole story is only about that then don't enter it. Keep it subtle because that is what makes it so beautiful. And if the erotica starts getting too dodgy...well I'm sorry, but that's not what I want so you may be DQed.

[2] No gay or lesbian stories. I'm not against gays at all but I just don't like stories about it. Sorry.

[3] Preferably no poetry because (a) I don't know anything about it so you porbably won't win and ( I don't really enjoy it

[4] Brownie points for good writing, descriptions etc. Honestly, to me, a story is not beautiful if it is full of errors. Please try to fix most of them. And as a hint, I love beautiful descriptions...you know, slow moving kisses, slow, subtle love scenes, that sort of thing.

[5] As I said, I will comment on every entry unless it's too disgusting to read.

[6] 3500 words max. You can message me if you want more but it really don't have time to read that much so I may not finish it and that's to your disadvantage...

[7] NoNe Of ThIs...

[8]Brownie points for making me cry or go 'Aah!'

[9] Good luck...and have fun! It's love after all!

  Hi.

  Apparently your adult filters are set preventing you from getting stories which are erotic or have profanity. To change the settings, go to your page, find 'Edit author info' on the right sidebar, scroll down the edit page, indicate your age and uncheck filters. Then scroll to 'Edit account' and click that.
  
  Then you should be able to view anything on the site, if you wish.
