    If someone sends me a PM early on Friday saying something along the lines of;

    "Cop the f*ck on and write something for the Bad Romance competition!"

    I'll probably get something in... I need the motivation... Shame the prize isn't a date - that'd convince me to get the ball rolling... ;):D joke :D

    I know its late in the day to be asking for clarification, but I just had a thought. Do our entries have to be OTT love stories, or is the "romance" of the title more a reference to the genre of writing itself? For example, Frankenstein is a gothic romance, but not a bodice-ripper.

    Sort of nervous now. Maybe I should just post it on its own in a different thread.

    I'd have thought your standard woeful Mills and Boon-style, but I wouldn't be sure tbh. :/

    You've all still got until midnight tonight, so hopefully we'll get a few more entries! :)

    Still haven't started, but I'm not giving up until the clock strikes twelve...
    If I had the faintest idea of what to write, I'd probably get on better...

    Tried to sent you my story in a pm, but its telling me I have too many characters...
    The text that you have entered is too long (8395 characters). Please shorten it to 7000 characters long.

    Have the email, thank you! Another option in those cases is to send it via two PMs as some others had to do, but actually using my email was a smart plan there. :D

    I'll post the thread shortly!

    Seven entries in total, which makes numbers more respectable than I was expecting earlier on today.

    Thanks for all the entries, I've had a lot of fun with this so far. Good luck to everyone! :)

    Bit of a slow burner this one... we should at least get eight people voting I hope!

    What does everyone think about mothballing VOAT for a few months at least after this?
