The Love Worth Finding Grows in the Weirdest Places

Share Your Love Story Contest

THIS CONTEST IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED


This is my very first blog contest and it’s for the most special day of the year… Valentines! This will run from January 7 to February 7, and the winners will be announced on February 14, 2008.

Love stories are parts of our lives. It may be the way you met your partner, or your wedding day, or the day you met the “one-that-got-away”. Whatever it is that makes the heart beat a little faster or causes the spirit to lift, is a love story.

However, a good love story may not always be one that ended in happily ever after, it could also be that of unrequited love, love lost or love never told… in that sense, it is something that makes the heart weep… it is, nonetheless, also a love story.

Here’s a sample love story, just to inspire you guys to write.

- - - - - - - - - - - -


The mechanics are simple. You just have to….

1. Have a blog - Blogspot/Wordpress blogs ok, but no Friendster/Multiply

2. Write a blog post on your own blog about your Love Story - must be at least 300 words (if you add images, you’re sure to catch my eye *hint*)

3. Add a link to this post AND to evilwoobie.com within your entry post

4. Leave a comment on this post telling us that you are joining, and please leave a URL link to your entry.

And, btw, ONLY ENGLISH posts will be considered.Your blog may be in another language, but the entry post must be in English. :D


I and the sponsors of this contest will judge the winners and the prizes are:

First Prize

  • A guest post on Evilwoobie.com. You can review your own blog here, talk about your services, products that you’re selling etc. I reserve the right to edit inappropriate content such as lewd photos (this is the only restriction). Your post will be made a permanent part of my blog.
  • Advertising for a month on my sidebar (where this contest’s logo is located) 125 x 125 image needed
  • $20 gift via paypal
  • A tarot reading by me (optional, you can avail of this or not)
  • A fan art profile of you and/or your partner. To be created by lizzie of Rosediaries
  • AND, 1000 Entrecard credits (if you’re a member already)

Second Prize

  • A guest post on Evilwoobie.com
  • Month-long advertising on my sidebar (where my face is located) 125 x 125 image needed
  • A fan art profile of you and/or your partner. To be created by lizzie of Rosediaries

Third Prize

  • A guest post on Evilwoobie.com
  • A header image to be done by ricopola of Hime.

!!! SPECIAL PRIZE if you play Philippine Ragnarok Online and you win this contest, I am giving away my remaining RO load in my MyLevelUp account. How much game time exactly? Approximately a month or so of gaming addiction feeding, so you’d better write a blog and join this.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I will write my own sample Love Story post later, just because… well, because I want to share mine too.. *smiles*

Share the Love! It’s everywhere!:D

Note: I’ve decided to be less inhibited and removed moderation of comments on this blog.

    a love story doesn’t have to have a happy ending does it? :D

    @sylverblade
    as far as I know, most of the stories here are the happily-ever-after types. if you can write yours in a way that will touch a heart even if it ends sadly, then you’re sure to stand out.

    :D Share the love.
