Lighthearted Fantasy Romance Short Story

I’m putting together a short, feel-good romance that unfolds in an imaginative fantasy realm populated by playful mythical creatures. The tone I want is unmistakably light and humorous—think witty banter, charming misunderstandings, and a happy-ever-after that leaves readers smiling rather than swooning in tears.
Your task is to write an original short story set entirely in this fantastical world. Dragons that gossip, merfolk with questionable fashion sense, or any other mythical beings you enjoy writing are welcome, as long as they serve the central romance and keep the mood breezy. No tragic twists or brooding angst; the fun, whimsical vibe should carry right through to the final line.
Deliverable
• One polished, proof-read short story (2,500–4,000 words is ideal, but I’m flexible if the pacing feels right) supplied in an editable document.
Acceptance Criteria
• Fantasy setting is vivid and consistent.
• At least one memorable mythical creature plays a meaningful role.
• Romantic plot stays light, humorous, and resolves happily.
• Story is 100 % original and ready for publication with no grammar or spelling issues.
If you love blending romance with comedy in magical realms, I’d love to read your pitch and a sample of similar work.
