soulmate writing contest (RESULTS ARE OUT)
Description
soul mate
soul mate
noun
noun: soulmate
1.) a person ideally suited to another as a close friend or romantic partner.
Welcome to the soulmate writing contest, where the main focus revolves around soulmates! It doesn’t matter if “soulmates” are not directly stated in your story. For example, if you write a story where the main characters immediately click after their first meeting--we’ll consider that as soulmates. Or, you could create an alternative universe where soulmates are stated clearly. You can check some of those alternative universes out over on the “Inspirations” page. (I highly recommend checking the inspirations page out.) Remember, your story doesn’t necessarily have to be centered around romance: if you check out the definition, you can write a platonic friendship story if you want.
*btw, don't let the layout fool you. you can always submit fluff or comedy stories too :D
