Love, love, LOVE! *scoffs* I am tiring of this saccharine holiday, and it has not yet even begun. I have no qualms with companionship, but enamoring yourself of one person and showering them with gifts that they might requite your feelings... I find it naive. On this holiday more than ever, people insist the deepest feelings for people they hardly care for year round. I grow weary of this, Menewshans, and it would please me to know that at least a few of you feel the same. If you have had enough of this holiday (and a certain someone), I invite you to join in my own private festivities... I will make it worth your while.

Categories Anti-Valentines We have all seen countless valentines intended for objects of the sender's affection, be it platonic or romantic. I would like for you to create the opposite of that - Anti-valentines, if you will. Anti-valentines may contain messages of hate, loathing, apathy - anything that is not pleasant. You may design your anti-valentine digitally, or you may create a physical one. They may contain drawings, poetry, or messages, but they must be created by you. Please note that text alone will not be accepted, you must create a complete valentine card. --- Anti-Crafts If creating a valentine is not to your liking, perhaps you would like to try your hand at something a bit more complex? Anti-crafts can be any creation of yours, be it through sewing, cooking, gluing, sculpting, or whatever else you like, however they must contain an anti-Valentine's Day or anti-love theme. A sense of humor is recommended, although not required. --- The Call of Valentine's Day Menewshans, I fear that in my attempts to distance myself from it, I am succumbing to Valentine's Day myself. All of this is still quite focused on the event... So I propose something of a non-sequitur. You may have noticed that the name of this contest is a bit of a pun off of H. P. Lovecraft, so to further play with that title, I would like for you to create something regarding his perhaps best known creation, Cthulhu. It may be a valentine, craft (as defined in the Anti-Crafts section), artwork, or... honestly, Menewshans, I cannot think of anything else, but do not let my lack of imagination limit you. The only stipulations are that it must be created by you and regarding Cthulhu. Please, no short stories. |

Oh wow, this looks really cool. I might have to enter!
|
I must say, I love the title
/bookish nerd |
This looks awesome! I'm very eager to see the Cthulu entries. :lol:
|
Man... I really love how both the 'certain someone's contests and yours are so different, Lise :)
Going to try to enter this one as well! |
Will definitely be entering this one! :)
|
I will definitely be participating in this event *scampers off to plan my anti-valentines*
|
Definitely entering this one. This is perfect for me to momentarily escape from being stuck behind a boring old desk with a huge textbook propped in front of me all day. :XD |
Ooo, I can't wait to submit something here! I've got an idea. :ninja:
|
I don't have an idea yet...but mark my words, I will. Ehehehehe.

Username: Raine Dragon Entry Category: Anti-Valentines Entry: http://i56.tinypic.com/25r1jpt.png Comments: I got a little carried away in my story telling, so it deviates a little from a plain valentine card. I hope it's ok enough for a participation prize though x_x my eyes are really bothering me, so I couldn't do anything better art-wise tonight. Preferred Participation Prize: ::edit:: since they are now up, a caged heart would be lovely. |
I'm glad I can count on Lise to come up with the countercultural contest.
|
Oh my god! Yes! I so want to enter, but I can't think of anything clever...
|
*sighs deeply a small smile coming to my lips* Ahhh Lise... you make this event for me.... I am sure to give this contest some thought. :)
|
Ah! I can't wait to make something Cthulhu related. Perhaps I'll send someone a Valentine that forces them to summon him.
|
I must say, it seems you have become weary of reading through all those endless pages of short story event entries Lise.
I wish everyone luck with this contest. Unfortunately I don't see myself being able to enter, due to my lack of a home computer internet connection, and lack of knowledge of creativity programs, and even worse, a lack of a digital camera :gonk: However, I'm glad to see you again Lise, and hope you enjoy the event. :) |
