With Valentines Day right around the corner we wanted to get into the spirit of things and what better way then to write a little Valentines Day story!

The winner of this contest will win a tank of choice as well as a 50% coupon that can be used towards a tank for a loved one (or someone you don't like if you choose) what you do with the coupon is up to you!

Here is how it will work, at the end of this post we will provide you with the opening to a Valentines Day story. From there you will visit the link below and submit the next line via a form on our website. Our server will then collect and number each line submitted. At the end of each day we will first post all the lines that people have submitted into one nice neat post and then do a random drawing to choose the next line of our story. The person who submitted that line will then no longer to be able to submit new lines, but will be in the running for the final drawing. This will continue until the evening of Thursday February 9. At that time we will do a random drawing of the 8 people who have been randomly selected to choose a winner.

Each night at 10pm Mountain Time we will post all submitted lines, announce a winner and move on to the next line in our sentence! Please note the form will not be available for a few minutes each evening while we are switching over to the next line.

At 10:00pm mountain on 2/9 we will post the lines for that day, do a final drawing to see who the last possible winner will be, then do a drawing to choose a grand prize winner from the 8 line winners chosen. Then we will post the winner as well as the finished story!

Random drawings will be done at random.org.

Limit of 3 posts per day per person (anything more then three will be disqualified)

Limit 200 characters per submission (you won't have to count them; the form won't let you type more!)

Beginning of story:
This morning I woke up feeling good.
It was Valentines Day so I should!
My card was selected, signed and sealed,
I had pretty flowers picked from the field.
But when I rolled over to give my love a kiss
The only sound I could muster was a hiss.
There was nothing beside me but an empty bed
Save a note on the pillow that said...


Link to submit next sentence: Valentines Day Story Contest

Good luck to all and let’s try to keep it clean so they can all be posted here!

oops, already messed up my first line..... lol

LOL, you of all people it was your contest idea. Which reminds me we will have to chat about your prize. Valentines batch should be done and ready to photograph tomorrow. I won't be able to photograph however until Friday or maybe as late as the weekend. I am assuming you want to pick the tank you special requested as your contest prize for the contest contest???

Well it looks as if the insomniac pack is no where to be found. I'm going to go find a movie to watch or something.

Just to recap, you have until 10pm Mountain time today (thursday) to submit your 3 lines for the day. Then the following will happen.

1. At 10pm the form will go down for a little while, we will collect the posts from the server.
2. We will post all the submissions from Day 1 here for everyone to read.
3. We will do a drawing to select the first line at random.org
4. We will post the person who submitted the line randomly selected to continue our story (note that person will no longer be eligible to submit lines)
5. We will post the story in progress with the first randomly picked line
6. The form will re-open for day two submissions.

Not just because we were feeling poetic when we wrote the first line does not mean your line has to rhyme! Whatever you want the next part of the story to be goes! However as stated above, please keep it clean, I do not want to have to weed through each post to pull out submissions that can not be posted on the ECF!


10pm Mountain Time = 12pm Eastern, 11pm Central & 9pm Pacific

MiXoLoGiSt, that was very funny... The hubby just hollered across the house to me asking me when I was coming to bed and I said yelled back almost the same exact thing you just submitted! LMAO!

Morning everyone... Hope everybody has a good groundhog day!

Edit: just realized that my first entry has already been sent with a typo lol. "feel" should have been "fill"
I wrote a line, and hit "ENTER" to write the second line. The program thought I was done. So I screwed up the first one, too.

I guess if the ones that have mistakes turn out to be chosen as the next sentence the person that submitted can always ask her to make corrections before she allows the public to add onto it ;)
