Be Witty, Be Romantic, Win a Beetle!

Romance, laughter and a Beetle. Combine them all in 200 words or less and you could drive home in a new Volkswagen.

You'll find the rules online for the Harlequin Duets Win a New Beetle Contest! Basically, you have to write and submit a romantic comedy short story that features a New Beetle.

It's got to be an original work that makes the judges laugh. They're looking for "a comic premise (a funny situation), a strong humorous voice (told in a funny way) and a great romance (you know what that is)."

You've got until Nov. 30, 1999, to enter. Submit by e-mail in the body of the message, or cut and paste your story into the form on the Web site.
