In honor of Writing.Com's 13th birthday, the "Unofficial Erotica Newsletter Group" is hosting a romance/erotica short story contest! Here's what we're looking for in a winning entry: A clever and inventive take on the prompt. A compelling narrative. Engaging characters that develop a real connection to one another. Romantic or erotic content throughout the story. Realistic events and actions (sorry, no fantasy, supernatural elements, vore, shrinking/growing, etc.). Please keep in mind the following rules: Only one entry per person. The deadline for entries is Saturday, September 7, 2013 @ 11:59pm WdC time. Maximum rating of XGC. Maximum length of 1,300 words. Post your entry as a b-item link in the forum below. (Ex: {b-item:XXXXXXX} New items only (i.e. your item must have been created during WdC Birthday Week, September 1-7, 2013). Entries edited after the deadline will be disqualified. All entries will receive a rating and public review. The judge is Jeff and his decisions are final. Spelling and grammar count. While a typo or two will not disqualify your entry, proofreading is an important part of the writing process. Frequent errors and/or poor readability are likely to affect your chances of winning. There must be at least six (6) entries in order for all the prizes to be given out. This is a competitive writing activity, not a "win by default" situation. If there are less than six entries but at least three, only first place will be awarded. If there are fewer than three entries, a consolation prize will be awarded. Honorable mentions (and the prizes for such) may be given at the judge's discretion.

For example, you could choose to have a character and his best friend finding true love during a birthday party on a cruise ship. Or a character and her arch-enemy discovering a surprising common interest in BDSM at an office party. Or a character having a chance to indulge in a kinky fetish with a random stranger at a baseball game birthday outing. Or a neighbor who shows up at a character's house party dressed like her favorite superhero. Whatever the specifics make sure that you make this one birthday party your protagonist will never forget! |
