The Official Valentine’s Day Contest Support Thread 2026

[SmilingLez]

Congratulations to the three winners of the Valentine's Day contest..

 

[Actingup]

Yay @FrancesScott and the other winners that I don't know!

I now have two contest winners in my "Stories I have beta-read," list, which is almost like winning myself, right??

Very much so (seriously). Penny, Agent Special Sauce. I was just thinking today of the patience that you and Nynah showed with 'Letting the Sunshine In', particularly when working out where to curb my excesses and where to let things run.

I just have one comp winner I alphaed / betaed / proof-read, all of which I didn’t get acknowledged for. Help should always be acknowledged unless the helper explicitly doesn’t want it. This is the way.

Miss Miller is currently in rehab. At facility for the chronically addicted to limericks

And I’m in the next room. Maybe I will break out by this summer before the music challenge. wink wink hint hint

...the truth, and the life. Of course help should always be acknowledged.

Thank you everyone. I lurked in this thread and it helped motivate me to be able to submit my story on time.

Great news! That's why these threads are so indispensible.

Welcome to the club!

A reminder to everyone that a lot of great stories were published, and many managed to hang on to a 4.8x rating despite the slings and arrows of outrageous trolling.

The sweep finally happened for me, removing 6 votes, raising my story from 4.2 to 4.7 overall.

Which gave me my second “H” which I am thrilled with!

You’re allowed to talk about your favorite now BTW

 

[Voboy]

You’re allowed to talk about your favorite now BTW

Does that mean people can finally make their winners predictions now, too?

Yeah - I have money on @theWriterInTheNude

Anyway, my SO just cooked us the most perfect Valentine’s meal, so going to say ‘thank you’ properly .

Despite the fact that my story never actually appeared on the list for no reason I could see, I seem to have been affected by a sweep. I jumped from 4.43 to 4.57 overnight. At least I got another little red H out of it.

I’m sorry - I did try (twice) as you know

Again, please check out all the fourth placed entries here:

[FrancesScott]

Your prize is your own, but if you intend to give it away I suggest the Trevor Project as a worthy recipient (https://www.thetrevorproject.org/), as its mission is to prevent suicides among young LGBTQ+ people

The site confirmed that they did this. Given the subject matter of the story, it’s a very appropriate and deserving recipient of the cash. Thank you to @redgarters for the recommendation.

That's terrific. Kudos to all involved.

Alaskas Frozen Heart. Everyone should read it.

Well done all

Terrific job that.

Congratulations to the other two winners: @storyteller19 and @FrancesScott, both of your works were terrific! I didn't want to leave a comment until I got a chance to read a few of the other entries.

Starting with the Halloween contest in 2021, I began a streak of writing for every special contest. I've been lucky to win three of the contests. This last entry was an intense challenge for me, as it was, by far, the longest work I've written for Literotica, and covered a few topics that would've been too personal to touch a few years ago. I would say this was the motivation I needed to finally finish my novel, but alas, I already have new ideas to explore for both the April Fool's Day and Nude Day contests before I can get back to the novel. It was a special thrill to win in a different category than my previous two winners. It makes me want to take more risks while writing, I say as I'm 10,000 words into another Lesbian Sex category tale for April Fool's Day.

Thank you to this site for providing an outlet for my creativity and a way to continue to grow in my writing. Thank you to all the tremendous writers on this site and on these forums. I don't comment on the forums often, but I do lurk and read frequently.

Your story Kissing at the Kissing Booth was on the list of entries.

Thank you. And thank you for the lovely comment on Abby’s Sapphic Deliberations.
