New Story!
Sami is ready to flee D.C., its endless lawyers, and its dried-up dating pool for the dreamy lesbian life of L.A. But a last-minute improv festival and a very awkward afterparty change things. She may not be in L.A. yet, but sheâs about to put on one hell of a performance.
This story was told at Story Districtâs Sucker for Love 2025

New Story!
Otis was sure Grace was the one. After seven years together, how could she not be? But then she dumped him.
What followed was a year of bad dates and worse decisions. Just when he thinks heâs lost her for good, a simple text sets off a chain of events that leads to something completely new.
Is this a breakup story or a love story? Maybe both. Maybe neither. Sometimes what you think is the end⌠is just the beginning of something totally unexpected.
đ¤ "Amazing Grace" â Otis, from Sucker for Love 2025

New Story!
Nyka heads back to her internship with one goal: stay focused and stand out. But when a smooth-talking new intern joins the team, that plan starts to shift. Suddenly, office hours are filled with side glances, flirty banter⌠and unexpected competition.
Enter Leah, a coworker whoâs not only clocking Nykaâs every move, but has her eye on the same guy. Now itâs more than just a summer job: itâs a full-blown office love triangle.
From subtle drama to summer fling chaos, this story is about the distractions that find us when weâre trying to stay on track, and what happens when feelings get in the way of the plan.
đ¤ "The Boy is Mine" - Nyka, from Sucker for Love 2025
