How much VD
Does the entire story need to take place on Valentine's Day, or does it just need a key scene that happens on Valentine's Day, or could it just be a story about Valentine's Day but not actually show the day itself, like a story about a lingerie shop preparing for the holiday rush by hiring extra help?
The story has to have Valentine's Day in it
and either a date or valentines exchanged / given on that day!

I am your Valentine!
What kind of VD?
Syphylis? Herpes? What?
oh...
OOH ... VD ... Val. day ...
nevermind
Sighs are the natural language of the heart.

How about a chapter or two from a larger story?
I'm almost at the point in the Taylor Project that deals with Valentine's Day and it does so in a way that meets the critera but I know my story won't be done by the deadline. I can submit just the chapters that cover Valentine's Day as a submission. The problem I see is that a couple of chapters out of an ongoing story don't really stand alone.
I would then consider another story for the contest
Since the story must be complete for requirements. There is no specific size for the story so just do something that is manageable and save the huge story for later.

a question
did I miss the voting thingy? It said from the 26th, just wanted to make sure I remembered to vote.
You did not miss it
The server had and still has issues, so Erin and Piper have been in the background fixing things the past 2 days still. If she cannot get to it tomorrow Ill do a PM voting thing. We will see. It all depends on how much they get fixed by tonight that isn't operational critical.
