Small Steps Towards Victory

Who doesn't love love? Honestly, it's like youre not even considering the fact that people exist with this burning in their chests, this longing, this powerful drive to do and be and exist!

What to Expect when Expecting to Compete

The Judges

Every article, art piece, prose, etc... will be judged by myself (Kiyomo) and the wonderful Mochi!. Together we'll go through the entries that have made the time line and begin working to decide who the winner will be once the contest closes. The shortlist will be released on the 10th of March, and the winner will be announced on the 15th of March!

The Badge!

We have two badges for you this month. The participation badge, which anyone can collect for submitting their article, and the winner badge for the lucky duckling that walks away victorious! Both made by our wonderful and talented September Judge CoolG!

This one's a little reminder that not all love is of the romantic or sexual kind. The beginning may seem a little off topic, but I promise, the end of this little scene fits the theme.
