Love is rarely simple. Sometimes it’s messy, confusing, poorly timed, or indistinguishable from obsession, loyalty, or something else entirely. How about exploring relationships that don’t fit neatly into a box? Romantic or not-so-romantic, mutual or one-sided, healthy or questionable — if it makes readers stop and wonder “what exactly is this?”, you’re doing it right!

Detailed description of the contest rules

✍️Rules for Authors:✍️
✔️ Write a story with a minimum of 700 words.
✔️ Choose one of the 7 official prompts — or more than one, if inspiration strikes!
✔️ Base your work on the selected prompt(s) in any way you like.
✔️ Put the prompt you used in the description of your story or in the notes.
✔️ You can participate with as many stories as you wish.

Prompts-prompts-prompts:
❤️ “They love you. They just won’t save you.” — Explore love that has limits.
❤️ “A love letter that was never meant to be read.” — Not necessarily romantic. Could be a report, a journal, or an unsent message.
❤️ “The last person who should understand you… does.” — Connection between unlikely characters.
❤️ “This isn’t jealousy. It’s something worse.” — Examine possession, fear of replacement, or moral conflict.
❤️ “Two people agree never to name what this is.” — And stick to it.
❤️ “Love expressed through refusal.” — Saying no as an act of care.
❤️ “A promise that shouldn’t have been made.” — But was.
