"Tainted Love - Romantic Horror” - the 2026 Story Event Official Support Thread

Submit Painted Love to the April Fools contest, too.

If your story does any of the above and/or is written with the best of the song in mind, you're good. Even if it's only barely across that line, lol.

That is an idea, there is a “surprise meetings” and kind of a “tricks”, so I guess that could work for both!

Hey everyone, just checking in on the status of your Tainted Love stories. Any problems...questions? If so, feel free to ask here and either @Erozetta or myself will do our best to answer them!



The rules are really simple
1. Stay more or less with the theme but feel free to interpret it creatively.
2. You can write in any category and any length, as long as you keep in mind Rule #1
3. Please include “Tainted Love 2026” in the notes field. Please use this exact wording so Laurel can identify the entries.
4. Please use “Tainted Love” as a story tag. You can also use "Romantic Horror" as a further story tag if you wish.
5. You can submit anytime from 1st March 2026 on, but all entries need to be submitted by 11:59pm, Monday 16 March, 2026.
6. All stories will Go Live on Literotica on Tuesday March 17th 2026 (or maybe sooner if Laurel wants to spread them out....)

Well mine is completed, Larkspur Lakehouse, The haunting of Cara Daniels. I will submit soon.

You know sometimes how writers get off on tangents? Well, after my thrid of fourth review and edit, I had to stop. It’s close to a “Tainted Love” but I stretched it, a lot. It’s a loonnggg stretch to be a Tainted Love. I hope you all don’t ban me after this Erotic Horror.

My take is, if you were a all inspired by the song while writing, you're good.
