ATTENTION: This is another story in my "Alternate Freya-verse" series. I feel that this needs to be announced right up front and in all caps. With that out of the way, the rest of this foreword is a little long, so if you want to skip ahead, go for it. But you may be missing something interesting!!

A few months ago, on the Literotica Author's Forum, I mentioned that all the talk about winning one of the contests had gotten me worked up over getting one of those coveted "Blue W" designations that a story earns by winning a contest on Literotica. Another author,
Inkent
wrote: "you've created the basis for a winning story ripe for putting into almost any competition - the hot writer desperate to win at any cost
π
. Now go grab that Blue W!"
And this got me thinking... for about two minutes. I quickly decided that I couldn't come up with a whole story just out of some vague idea. So, I promptly forgot about it and moved on with my life.
Two nights later, I was doing the dishes and -- BOOM! I suddenly had an idea. I realized exactly how I could use this concept of someone so determined to win a Literotica Contest that they would stop at nothing. And I immediately started writing. And, of course, my brain immediately proceeded to go completely off the rails and write a pretty wacky story (wacky even by MY standards!!).
Anyway, as usual, a HUGE "thank you" to
Figjamkiss
who is always there for me with moral support and to dot the i's and cross the t's and all of that technical stuff. And another HUGE "thank you" to
AlexFourways
who is always cheering me on.
So, here it is in all of its crazy glory. Enjoy.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!
Love, Frey

"Well, the snow is
really
coming down, so the weather forecast seems to have been right," Alex stated, turning away from the window and facing Freya. "Sadly, I think our Valentine's Day plans are officially canceled."
Always cheerful, Freya smiled brightly and answered, "Oh, that's fine. Although I was looking forward to whatever surprise you had planned for today, there's not much we can do. We can't change the weather, right? But we can cuddle and watch a movie, then I'll cook us an early dinner and we can put a fire in the fireplace and watch another movie."
"Yeah. We can do your Valentine's surprise thing next weekend, maybe," Alex said, not very excited about the prospect of watching movies all day. But the unspoken promise of fooling around did hold his interest. It
was
Valentine's Day, after all.
"Sure. We can do it next weekend," Freya answered, taking his hand and leading him into the living room. "As long as I get to spend time with you, I'm happy." Much to Alex's dismay, Freya picked a romantic comedy that looked cute to her -- and rather boring to him -- and they both settled onto the couch with a warm comforter over themselves.
Hoping to move things along, Alex placed his hand gently on Freya's thigh and gave her a light rub. Freya looked at him, smiled, placed her hand over his, and turned back to the movie that was just starting. Alex sighed internally. He hoped that Freya would be more interested in a little more physical action, but maybe she really did just want a quiet day spent with the two of them.
But Alex didn't want to sit around all day and watch some boring romantic comedy -- movies that were always much too light on the comedy aspect. He had other things on his mind. He just had to figure out how to gently guide the afternoon in that direction.
And then Alex's luck changed.
With no warning whatsoever, the power went out.
There was that strange moment of crushing silence that always follows a power outage where your ears almost have to re-calibrate themselves to the lack of background noise that is usually constantly bombarding our eardrums. They heard the jingle of Rio's dog tags and saw him tentatively making his way over to the couch in the murky darkness. He barked softly as if to ask what had happened and Alex reached down and picked him up. It was exactly a year ago today that Freya had gotten the tiny Yorkshire Terrier for him. And just as it had been when he first saw Freya, for Alex, the cute puppy was love at first sight.
"We're striking out all over the place," Freya stated.
'You can say that again,' Alex thought as he placed Rio on the couch next to him. "So, keeping with the baseball analogy," Alex started as he leaned towards Freya for a kiss, "Do you think I can get to first base?"
Freya giggled. "Maybe," she coyly said. "But why don't you start a fire first? That would be romantic." Alex stood up and Rio hopped off the couch to follow him. "It's a good thing that we have a gas stove so I can still make us dinner," Freya commented. "And then we can eat by candlelight! This could be the best Valentine's Day ever!"

"Oh, shit," Cynthia mumbled. "Real Life Freya is doing another one of her lame romance stories. I'll bet she's even going to submit it to Literotica in the 'Romance' category. Or even worse, under the 'Erotic Couplings' category."
"You know, 'Erotic Couplings' is the most popular category on Literotica," Katie pointed out.
"It's where stories get dumped that aren't interesting enough for any of the other
real
categories," Cynthia complained. "I can't believe that she really thinks readers care about love and flowers and candlelight dinners and all of that crap."
"Oh, don't be like that," Katie chided her. "I think it's sweet."
"You would," Cynthia retorted contemptuously. "The fact is, in reality, everyone reading these smutty stories online just wants a story about sex. They want a spank tale that's just long enough and hot enough to get off on with no extra flowery shit thrown in. After they get their jollies, they can finish the last couple of sentences that lamely wrap up whatever flimsy plot was shoehorned in between the sex scenes, and then they can put their phones on their nightstands and fall asleep with smiles on their faces.."
"When did you become so cynical?"
Cynthia raised her eyebrows. "Seriously? Right around Real Life Freya's seventh Literotica story. It's bad enough that she made me fat, but in
that
story, she made me a pig that just sits around and stuffs herself all the time."
"That's not true," Katie told her. "You're not a pig just sitting around and stuffing yourself all the time. You only do that occasionally."
"Ha ha! Very funny. It's a good thing that you're awesome in bed," Cynthia responded. "Because you're a fuckin' pain in the ass out of bed."
Katie wrinkled her nose and gave Cynthia a sarcastic smirk. Then she pointed out, "But you know that in the entire story arc that Real Life Freya has planned, the fact that you like to eat ends up being super important," Katie said.
"Everyone likes to eat. It's not that important."
"Okay. Then the fact that you like to stuff your big fat face ends up being super important." Katie placed her hands on her hips. "Is that better?"
"Yeah. It's super important that I'm a fat pig. I'm a hero. Blah, blah, blah. But that's not until the fourth or fifth series or something," Cynthia complained. "Real Life Freya has just barely started the third series! And in the meantime, the only thing readers know is that I'm a fatass that can't stop stuffing my fat fucking face."
"What happened to 'pleasantly plump' and all of that?" Katie asked.
"Lies!" Cynthia proclaimed crossly. "
