How about a story combining gift-giving with a little romance? (This doesn’t need to be written in the first-person perspective.) Here’s the topic of our latest story contest:

It’s December, 1870. You live in a large bustling city and your family is quite poor, but you still have found the perfect gift for your beloved. Your goal is to find the proper time and place to present it in the coming weeks. One small issue: your “beloved” doesn’t even know you exist.

Give it an interesting title (don’t include “Quibblo’s Contest,” “QC,” or similar), and remember to:

• Check spelling and grammar
• Hit “Enter” twice after every paragraph, for readability
• Tag it with SC8 and make sure it’s finished
• Share it with all your friends, both on and off Quibblo

On December 11, we’ll select three winners to showcase on the Quibblo home page. Now, get started!

Deadline: 11:59 pm (EST), Sunday, December 9, 2012.
