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.

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.

Rules
  • All entries must be your own work. Plagiarism will not be tolerated.

  • All entries of physical crafts (anything you have to take a photo of) must include your username written on a piece of paper somewhere within the photograph. Editing your name in with photo editing software does not count.

  • Entries of physical crafts that do not include your username on a piece of paper, or that have usernames edited in will be disqualified. This does not apply to digital artwork (works created in editing software such as photoshop, corel, etc.), although you are encouraged to sign your work.

  • You may enter as many of the categories as you wish, but you may only submit a maximum of 3 entries to each category.

  • You may enter on either your main or your mule, but you may not enter on both.

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. :)
