Love Spanks


This is to remind you all about Love Spanks.  

It is scheduled to run from 7-9 February, and it is 100% F/F fiction.

We are moving house (only next door!) just when all this is happening, and we have been told that it is probable we will be without internet access for around five days, so unfortunately it is unlikely I can take part this year.  However, it promises to be great fun as usual.

When two grown-ups love each other, someone might get a spanking!
How would you like a brand-new Kindle Fire or Nook HD or another prize from a pool valued at over $1,000?
How about free stories from award-winning authors?
This Valentine’s Day, you can participate in a short story extravaganza! F/F authors will showcase romance, paranormal, sci-fi, fantasy and spanking fiction for your enjoyment. Chat with your favorite authors, meet new-to-you authors, find great new books, and meet new friends!
Want to become a Love Spanks ambassador and earn an extra prize entry? See below!
Even better, participation could earn you a GRAND PRIZE!
Plus, the first 50 Love Spankers will receive a copy of The Bodyguard by Saranna DeWylde!

Free books for all Love Spankers!
  • Vampire’s Bard by Kate Richards
  • First of May by Caitlin Ricci
Many authors also will offer a contest on their individual blogs.  Your comment on their blogs automatically enters you in both the main contest and the individual contests!
What’s the catch?  Absolutely nothing!  We love writing for you and want to thank you for your readership.  Perhaps someone might get a spanking or two, but that’s a reward rather than a catch, right?  ;)
Here are the rules:
  1. Visit each blog between Friday, February 7 and Sunday, February 9 to read the posted stories and excerpts.
  2. Leave a comment answering the story question on each blog.  You will receive one entry per blog for the grand prize drawing.  You will also be automatically entered in that author’s individual contest, if she has one.
  3. If you have visited all of the blogs, visit Ana’s blog to sign up for FIVE bonus entries to the grand prize.
    Deadline is midnight EST (UTC -5) on February 9!!
  4. If you successfully completed a previous challenge (Spank or Treat 2013, Spankee Doodle 2013, Love Spanks 2013, or Spank or Treat 2012), you may add “VIP” to your comments.  You will earn THREE bonus entries toward the grand prize.  (Yes, we will be doing this again.  Yes, if you successfully complete the Love Spanks 2014 challenge you can become a VIP for our next activity!)
  5. If you are a F/F author or thinking of becoming one, please add “FF” to your comments. That way, your name will be entered in the special F/F author prize drawings.
  6. Visit any of the participating blogs on Friday, February 14 to find out the lucky winners.  Will it be you?

  1. Hey! You did it! :-D Wait. Five days without internet access? Are they digging ditches and burying the line by hand? Crazy! I hope they get it done faster so you have time to join in on Love Spanks. If not, we'll be thinking of you.

    Omg, moving. I hope it goes as quickly and smoothly as possibly, no stress, no breakage, no injuries. We all should come visit and give you a housewarming party! ;-) Hugs!

    1. Irishey, it's worse than that - all our lines are above ground! It's back in prehistoric times over here!

      Moving sucks. And we are planning to downsize in four years' time so that will be even worse. Life is so complicated, but if we want to travel we have to regroup our finances.

      Yes, you should all come to a housewarming party. Maybe I should have a virtual one and invite all my blog friends?

      Hugs

    1. Thanks, Roz.

      This is the least I can do. The internet thing is a problem though. We are both going to suffer as we will have no access in any shape or form. We have had a temporary hub installed which it could be possible to move next door with us, but already I find my Ipod is refusing to acknowledge it and I can't download any music.

      Anyone around here experienced with Ipods?

      Hugs

    Got everything crossed for you. Don't stress. Will be thinking of you.

    We have no internet at our office and BT says it will take them 4 days to fix the line (that's if they don;t have to come inside the building) and now we have slow connection at home:(

    Love,
    Ronnie

    1. Thanks, Ronnie.

      We are changing from Sky to BTinternet and it's such a pain! My I-pod has already decided not to obey me and my Kindle needs re-programming also. Technology for you!

      Hugs

  5. We'll find a way to get your participating, Ami! There's no prize quite as hysterical as your spotted knickers, but you don't want to miss the fun. Let me see what I can do. Yay for Ambassador Ami!

    1. I just don't want to let anyone down, Ana. I hate making promises I can't keep, and you know what an addle-head I am. How people move on a regular basis is beyond me. But thanks for including me!

      Hugs

    1. BUT..... we have just had a new "hub" installed, and now neither my I-pod nor my Kindle will acknowledge it, and that means no downloading of any new songs or books until I can unravel what to do.

      Hugs

    1. Oh Cat, I love it when you do your Happy Dance! I hate technology when it isn't explained to me. I think I have some sort of a mental block about it.

      Thank you for all your healing energy and positive thoughts which I will pass on to Dan for tomorrow.

      Hugs
      Ami
