Competition: [LOREFEST] February 2022

Sitrep

LOREFEST is a monthly Voice-sponsored fiction competition that awards bonus Clusters of Ice and First Level Crescents.

The topic for the month of February is Obsessed Love

Your character has a secret admirer. Not knowing who it is, a series of increasingly elaborate gifts and clues continue to appear at your doorstep. Wishing to figure out who it is that has become just like so obsessed with you, you begin to try to hunt down this elusive suitor.

Only the closer you get to finding out who it is, the more intense their efforts to throw you off become.

Write about finding out who is attempting to woo your character, for better or worse, and the elaborate hoops you have to jump through to find them. Then deal with them as you would see fit.
