A Valentine's Day contest brought to you by LGBTQ ParanormalCommunity and MythandLegend
Challenge
Love, one simple four-letter word and yet it holds our imagination captive. It is to be cherished, to be nurtured, to be celebrated. As February is the month of Valentine's Day, love is everywhere. However, we like to bring you something a little bit different and for that lgbtq teamed up with ParanormalCommunity and MythandLegend to make the love a bit more ... extraordinary.
Write in 1,000 to 2,000 words a love story, or a Valentine's day story, that has LGBTQ+ characters or themes, Paranormal beings or settings, or features characters of Myth or Legend. Better yet: combine them all! Write your heart out and treat us to some wonderful tales.
