Tooz's Spring Challenge:

*2020 KISSING STUDY*

My challenge is a study in kissing. Choose an adverb or adjective as the title to describe a kiss that maybe you've never WRITTEN or DRAWN before. Please tag me and message me directly with a heads up. I would be devastated if I missed it.

Below I have a bunch of suggestions, but if you have a different word or phrase that speaks to you as inspiration, RUN WITH IT!!!! Plus, if you have more suggestions to add to the list, let me know and I'll add them to the original post.

For inspiration, here is the 2014 New York Times Annual Video Essay.

"In an essay for the magazine A.O. Scott writes about the history and importance of the movie kiss. “Cinema may not have invented kissing, but I suspect that over the course of the 20th century, movies helped make it more essential,” he writes. “What is undeniable is that movies — Hollywood movies especially, but far from exclusively — made kissing more visible. They established a glamorous iconography and an elegant choreography for an experience that, in real life, is frequently sloppy, clumsy and less than perfectly graceful.” The videos also serve to prove that thesis."

Quoted from Esther Zuckerman's article in Entertainment Magazine, December 10, 2014

Fluffy, Smutty, NSFW, Steamy, Awkward, Sloppy, Chaste, Fake, Deep, Teasing, Forbidden, Venomous, Lethal, Clumsy, Painful, First, Last, Love's True Kiss, Formal, Stolen, Intimidating, Humiliating, Disgusting, Tasty, Breathtaking, Stunning, Unexpected, Disappointing, Graceful, Deadly, Undead, Life Changing, Phantom, Hallucinated, Delusional, Manipulating, Coercive, Denied, Confessional, Platonic, Sexy, Stage Kiss, Pretend, 7 Minutes In Heaven, Spin the Bottle, Drinking Game, Truth or Dare, Kissing Booth, Blindfolded, Masked, Kissing Bandit, Blind Date, Kiss of Death, Kiss of Life, Resuscitating, Obligated, Imagined, Confusing, Wedding, Betraying, Orgasmic, Swoon Worthy, Dizzying, Boring, Regretted, Death's Seal, Fruity, Sticky, Slimy, Scratchy, Dry, Violent, Consensual, Non-consensual, Surprising, Dubiously Consensual, Inhuman, Godly, Animalistic, Bloody, Scary, Loving, Tender, Sensual, Stiff, Loveless, Reverent, Anonymous, Secretive, Sealing the Deal....

I can continue adding to this list. It's just a boatload of descriptors that popped into my head, definitely not all-inclusive. I haven't even broken out a thesaurus yet!

Artwork works too!!! I would be THRILLED to have art entries!!!! I bet everyone would be thrilled with art! How exciting if you did fanart specifically of someone's kiss story. Or vice versa! If someone wrote about your kiss artwork!!!

ANYONE CAN SUBMIT AND JOIN IN!

NO RULES! (Although please tag it /preface it with appropriate warnings so readers can be responsible readers. And if explicit or not safely for work, under 18 need to stay away.)

It's not a contest. It a challenge, a creative prompt. No time line. :-) This is all just for fun! I'm going to try to pop out some drabbles or short one shots to challenge myself too.

I'm tagging a few people off the top of my head who are easily accessed via my predictive auto correct to boost the signal and coax some friends to join. And the Tumblr app only allows so many tags. Spread the word please. I am dying to read and view what everyone comes up with!!!

ANYONE CAN PARTICIPATE!
