Continue One of our Romance Novellas and Win Cash & Prizes

Don’t let something as simple as “The End” get in the way of a good romance.

I Wonder What Happens Next Just pick one of MyRomanceStory.com’s romance novellas and write about what happens when happily Forever After begins. Each of our stories has its passionate ups and frustrating downs. So select the hero and heroine from your favorite novella and tell us how their love deepens and their relationship is cemented in the Forever After of their story.

Let’s face it, even Anna Carbana and Brad Duggan from Love Match must have had some bumps in their romance after the credits rolled! So take Anna and Brad or the Master of Fusion’s Daniel and his lovely Shelley and tell us what happened to them next. Prizes will be award to those stories deemed the most satisfying and well written by our editors.

We’ll also award a prize to the story voted as the favorite by our readers.

The contest ends at 11:59 p.m. EDT on August 31, 2008. Prizes will be awarded during the week of September 30, 2008.

Here’s how it works: Submit your follow-up to one of our novellas as a 2,000 to 2,500 word short story using the form below. (Submissions are limited to no more than 2 per entrant.) The novella can be chosen from a free story, member’s story or a story from our Buy E-Books section. Your submission should focus on the challenges the couple face after our novella ends and what circumstances occur to fortify their love for each other. When posted on MyRomanceStory.com, your submission will appear under your preferred On-Screen Name.

Our editors will judge all qualifying submissions on

creativity
