Taxonomy upgrade extras:
Well, that time of year has come around again and time for another contest. What the heck you are saying? I was dying last year? How is it I am still alive. Well, let's just say I have a pocket miracle upon me.
The theme for this contest is to write ANY love story that must include a lgbtq main or secondary character and anyone else. That depends on the point of view. This story must be totally new and never published anywhere else. AI assistance in creating it is allowed, however, editing and proofing it is still the author's responsibility. Minimum wordage is 5,000 words. Multiple entries are allowed with only 1 win per person.
Preferably, since I know for certain, that this is my absolute last contest, I would like to see an entry that has school teens trying to find a romance. Hey, just a wish story for a proper send off you know! Whatever plot that you enter is fine by me though :)
The prizes are as follows: 1st Place: 2 x $200, 2nd Place:2 x $100, 3rd Place: 3 x $50. That is the most that I can afford for the winnings of this contest. Prizes will be paid out on June 3, 2025. They will be paid by paypal. The contest runs from right this very minute until May 31, 2025.
Sorry, no time for fancy tables and pictures this last time. I have too much on my plate atm, but I still wanted to give back to the community that means so much to me. SO get those computers clacking away if you want to win.
ps: I will advance the winnings to Rasufelle so that the contest winnings will be payable in the event that I vanish in an untimely manner.

Happiness is a Warm Hound Chapters 1 - 5 by Steph C. I always avoided the first part of the hill when the weather was likely to produce mud, which meant the whole of January and most of February in practice. It wasn’t the mud on the path itself, for that was why wellies existed, but the immense quantity my dogs would collect. They’re not exactly my dogs, of course, so mud meant cleaning them off before returning them to their ‘real’ owners, and I rather liked having some ‘me time’ each day and enough hot water for a bath for myself rather than two or three mud-magnet hounds. |

I Was a Teenage Pick Up Girl by Enemyoffun Finley's old sister likes to use him as a subject for her beauty school makeup projects. He has fair skin and soft features. He never fully complains because he knows only a few people will ever see him that way. That is until he's late for work and there's no time to take it off, so he rushes to the bus stop. There he's spotted by a visiting teenage Hollywood heartthrob who wants Finley to become his fake "girlfriend" fix his bad image and to make his ex jealous. The plan doesn't go too well for either of them. |

Working Clothes by Columbine Billy came to live with them when all the work that could be done had been done to their living space. He and Raven were almost identical in age and seemed to treat each other as twin brothers, and were inseparable. Peter seemed to manage being a house husband balancing his work with caring duties. When Jill got home she would take over bed time and allow Peter some more work time. Family life is made of routines. Trips out to see the ducks the pond in the park in a double buggy, gave way to play parks, and then to theme parks and so on. The boys were supported by three parents and whilst they were very clear about whose mother was whose, the absence of Billy’s father meant that both boys called Peter … Dad. |

Blindside Chapters 1 - 6 by Steph C. “YOU A GEEZER, OR WHAT?” Volume control wasn’t his strong suit, evidently. Thankfully, the bus was already there, so I stepped on as if he hadn’t spoken, eructated, puked, whatever. Good start to the day. Usual start to the day. |
