Hello, you lovely bunch!
Valentine's day is soon coming up, and to celebrate we've decided to have a little contest. Your task is to write a dialogue between a couple (although other characters may play a part as well) who are in a romantic relationship with each other. The setting and topic is up to you, as long as it's clear from the text that they're romantically involved.
You participate by making a top-level reply to this post, and you have until February 16 to do so. The moderators will then deliberate and reveal the winner on February 20. As a sign of our love, we will give the winner a special ✨golden flair✨.
Your submission must include:
- A dialogue consisting of at least five turns (i.e. the speaker changes four times) and 50 words (in English if the conlang is highly synthetic). There's no maximum. Narration may be included but it doesn't count towards the five turns and 50 words.
- A translation into English
Optional but highly encouraged:
- A gloss
- A description of features of the conlang/conculture, especially those relevant to this challenge (e.g. romantic language, backchanneling, pet names, turn-taking)
- An IPA transcription
- (If relevant) Surrounding context for who the participants are and the situation in which the dialogue takes place.
You can of course post the dialogue as pure text, but if you want you can link to images, audio, or video containing it instead. If you choose audio or video, please include a transcription of the dialogue as well.
Happy conlanging and good luck <3
