If you have a romantic piece, please post it here. If you have an idea for a romance, please turn it into a story and post it here.
Brownie points if your piece involves science fiction or fantasy.
It has to be less than 3500 words and labeled appropriately.
Also, though not a requirement, please comment on someone else's piece that's in the contest--or someone else altogether (as long as it's romance)--and add the link in your entry.
Please, proper grammar and spelling. If not, I will have to DQ it. I can stand minimal grammar/spelling mistakes, though. I'm not that much of a toughie. Do not bash others, including God.
The points are subject to increase.
Update: In order to give a good, long comment, I will be printing out all entries and reading them--making editorial corrections if need be. Danke.
Update: If you go over 3500 by a few hundred words, that's ok. 3500 is just an estimate; just don't go overboard.
