January 2020 Patron Fic Pick!

'She was young and very beautiful, but pale, like the grey pallor of death.' ~ Bram Stoker, The Lady of the Shroud

For February this year I am adapting the multi-part MLP fanfic 'Cake Story' by Blueshift. As such, since I'm channeling so much energy into the Friday uploads, I desperately need some help picking the non-MLP projects and so I am appealing to you, my beloved patrons, to help me choose a horror story set on Valentines for Month of Lurve 2020! Voting will close on January 30th and the winner will be announced on 31st!

1. Forgotten Valentine by Michael Whitehouse

I had managed to keep a healthy skepticism of ghosts, ghouls and all things supernatural until I was 28. I found most claims of such things to be dubious at best, and harmful at worst. That is, until I accidentally stumbled across the grave of the girl I tried to make my Valentine when we were 15.

2. New Notification From Instant Valentine! By CatchWolfzie

Our teachers used to force us to exchange love notes on Valentines to help us keep our self worth high. I should not have gone on the internet for inspiration on how to write one.

3. Valentine's day. The day of breeding... By Cephalopodanaut

Valentine's day is my second favorite holiday of the year.  You would be surprised by how many lonely, pathetic men with near perfect genes are out in the city, drinking their failures away. And on Valentines, it's my job to find them.

4. For all the boys I've killed before By sortof_haunted

Valentine’s Day is a big day for serial killers. I mean think about it: everyone is either stupidly happy or sad and mopey. Serial killers generally find themselves in the latter. It’s depressing; it’s so hard these days to find someone who’s comfortable with your murderous compulsions. 

5. I Want to See You Enjoying Valentine's Day By Title 18

My Valentine is beautiful. I’m directly across from her bedroom but she can’t see me. She never sees me.
