Paradise Cove Writing Challenge

Welcome to ...




The Paradise Cove Writing Challenge is a monthly romance and erotica contest is open to all authors on WDC.





Hello, I'm Jace, your host.




Every month new visual or text prompts will be posted. Write a romantic and/or erotic short story that the prompt inspires in you. Let's discover what you have hidden from everyone in your very own Paradise Cove...
Don't be shy, share it. *Kiss*


And a very special THANK YOU to Giselle for that fabulous ribbon now gracing our banner. It is pretty, isn't it?





*BoxCheck* This month's round begins immediately and will close at 11:59 pm WDC time on WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 29th. The judging will not take place until after the contest closes. You may edit your offering any time up to the deadline. The winner(s) will be notified by March 7.

*BoxCheck* All entries must be short stories between 1000 and 3000 words. No poetry please! Please post your word count within your story either at the beginning or the end.

*BoxCheck* Because of the nature of the contest, content ratings up to XGC are acceptable. While I enjoy a smoldering love scene, some words and phrases that are used more for their shock value will find a slightly deaf ear or blind eye. Use your imagination, my friends.

*BoxCheck* All entries must be posted in bitem format in the forum below. Please do not copy and paste your story into your forum post. See "Linking Help And Practice"   by * §apph * if you're unsure how to post your entry.

*BoxCheck* Only one entry per person is allowed each month.

*BoxCheck* This is a writing challenge, and thus I seek new stories. However, an older story that fits the prompt well AND is previously unawarded may be submitted. Simultaneous submissions to other contests is not allowed.

*BoxCheck* All valid entries will receive a review. Please let me know if you prefer your review to remain private. *Smile*

*BoxCheck*} In the event fewer than seven entries are received, only first prize will be awarded. If under three entries are received, I reserve the right to issue gift point awards to all entries with their reviews. On rare occasions I may decide to extend the deadline.

*BoxCheck* Please contact me Jace if you have ANY questions regarding this contest.





Love Gone Bad
February has long been about love and "happily ever after." But THIS February will be different. Write a story about Love Gone Bad. Anything goes this month as far as eroticism, romance or gender, as long as it doesn't end happily. *Shock*

Keep in mind while I said ANY subject is fair game, excessive anything is not always appealing. This is a Writing Challenge.  I'm looking for creativity, plot and tension. *Smile* I welcome your imagination.





First Place will receive a 25K Awardicon, and an Erotica merit badge.

Second Place will receive a 10K Awardicon and an Erotica merit badge.

Third Place will receive an Erotica merit badge.

Honorable Mentions may or may not be awarded. Any selectee will receive 3000 gift points.
