Games People Play
Deadline: March 31, 2025- Board games, video games, party games ... whatever game your characters play, it should be the thing that brings them together!
Friends (or Enemies) to Lovers

Monster Love
Deadline: May 31, 2025- You know what we're talking about! (Note this is NOT bestiality! All monsters need to be sentient beings, but we are looking for something more than the normal were-creatures.)
Coffee Shop Love
Deadline: June 30, 2025- Whether it's a meet-cute at the local bookshop's coffee counter or an established couple who stop at Starbucks, give us all the coffee-flavored kisses!
Call Me!
Deadline: July 31, 2025- Maybe it's a wrong number or a missed call. Maybe your character has to talk himself into calling his crush. Whatever the case, if the story involves a phone call, we want to hear about it!
Time Travel
Deadline: August 31, 2025- Because we love stories involving it, that's all.
Over 30 MCs
Deadline: September 30, 2025- Give us sweet stories between older lovers (this is NOT a May/December call). Whether they find love late in life or live out a lifelong love story, the lovers must both be over 30 in these stories.
