In my opinion, love is just like a rose. It has its thorns, all the pain and bad times that come with loving someone. Then, it has its petals, all the beautiful, joyous things. Every laugh, every cry, and every moment spent lying in each other's arms. Love is one most beautiful things out there, unstoppable in its glory. And in my opinion, the right to love should never be withheld from anyone. That's why this contest is dedicated to those whose love has been seen as inappropriate, whether it be two men, two women, or even a princess and a peasant.
It can be a story, whether it be fan fiction, or even non-fiction. Please no poems though, because I don't understand poetry.
RULES:
1. Absolutely NO bashing of any sort.
2. Erotica is allowed, just don't let the story be all about sex. I would like actual storylines.
3. No word limit
4. Please comment on either a contestant's story, or one of mine and put who in your AN's.
5. Try your best to be creative and think outside the box.
6. I'll comment on every entry, so please try not to add more than 3 stories. 2 of them can be prewrites, but if you want to enter a third, please make it a new story.
7. HAVE FUN!!!!
