Okay everyone, we only had three submissions, however the three stories presented are magnificent and each present their own love story that is all worth reading! So without further ado the winners...

1st) ARI-INK98 - Our Path
2nd) PETER799 - A Walk Through The Park
3rd) SARAHBAGGINS - The Widow And The White Rose

Everyone did splendid and has certainly touched their viewer's romantic hearts in deep ways. I applaud all the authors for writing these stories and I hope to see them continue to expand their work and reach new heights in their writing. I shall give a short review of each story and why it got its place. No flaming please! This is only my opinion!

Our Path tells the story of a girl writing a letter to a boy named Henry. The story begins in early childhood to their adult years in which the author has masterfully painted a full picture of their relationship throughout the years in only 5,000 words. Beautiful diction, syntax, and pacing allows for readers to thoroughly enjoy the story from start to finish as they read this pure hearted love story. This story has it all: Love, Loss, Distance, Heartbreak, Heart aches that is all relatable to readers. The story shows a deep relationship that will leave you with a warm feeling in the end.
 

A Walk Through The Park  tells of an all too familiar love story to us all. The first date. This is a light hearted and partially humorous story that reflects quite well on the feelings of a first date, however does not go as in depth with its characters allowing a disconnect between the readers and its characters.  On the contrary, this story makes up for its excellent use of visual descriptions and imagery which easily carries the story forward. (Also I apologize that the story is no longer on the contest page. A misconception was made. D:)

The Widow And The White Rose is a historical romance story that tells of an romance of long ago to the time of kings and war. Instantly this story manages to capture you with its setting and grips you with its story and characters, however as the story progresses it loses its pace. The story has distractions and gets sidetracked from the main relationship presented that readers are mainly focusing on. Given the story is historical and the word limit perhaps barred the author from fleshing out this historical event further. Still, the story is a must read for the historical value and messages the story has to offer with relatable themes and tenseful moments.


A compelling love story need not be long in order for it to be both captivating and interested. This contest is to challenge writers to tell the best love stories they can within the word limit given. Any types or genres are allowed so long as they tell a love story that is interesting! Your story may bet between a boy and a girl, two boys, or even two girls if you so desire. All stories will be judged equally and fairly, and will not have a huge focus on grammar and punctuation, but if the grammar distracts from your story then it may become an issue.  However, other than that I encourage readers to have fun with this. I look forward to evaluating the many wonderful stories that will be presented.

Restrictions: None
Requirements: Under or equal to exactly 5,000 words and must be a love story. Story MUST be posted before deadline.
Winner: Three winners will be chosen in order from first, second, and third with honorable mentions included after the contest period is over. I will also try to provide constructive feedback with my background with college level education.
