Did you know that Dawn Embers Author Icon is celebrating 10 years on the site by dusting off "The Weekly Quickie Contest" Open in new Window.?

I want to encourage participation by dusting off something from way back in the day as well... the "Unofficial Erotica Newsletter Group" Open in new Window. ran for several years and published over 200 newsletters focused on the erotica genre (which you can still read over at the "Unofficial Erotica Newsletter Archive" Open in new Window.). We even commissioned one of the early exclusive group merit badges back in the day:

Merit Badge in UENG [Click For More Info] Congratulations on your new "UENG" merit badge for your group, [Link To Item #1085692] ! Thank you for supporting the Writing.Com community with your inspirations, participation and activities. We appreciate it! -SMs

As an incentive to encourage participation in the remaining rounds of Dawn's "birthday" rounds of "The Weekly Quickie Contest" Open in new Window., I will send this exclusive badge to anyone who submits an eligible entry for any round! Which means you can earn up to three of these beauties if you submit an eligible entry for each of the remaining three rounds!

Please check it out and support one of the site's longest-running romance/erotica contests!

Yes, could use some love... and promotion. I have difficulty keeping track of anything.
Entries need to be new, but this oldie came to mind as I saw my friend Cat today selling cherries (I wasn't here 2 years ago and last year the crop failed). There's no romance in this one but transwomen live real lives.

Flash fiction under 300 words. No prompt. Katherine's a friend of mine so I spun a story.

It's flash but maybe someone could review it.

Finally finished packing for our family vacation. By this time tomorrow, we should be on a beach in Costa Rica! *Sun* *Beach* *Cool*

Well, technically at this time tomorrow I suppose we'll probably be asleep because it'll be almost 1:00 a.m. there, but still... *Pthb*

Been most everywhere there, except for the dozens of beaches. Have fun; but, only go in where there's a lifeguard or people around. Riptides are notorious.

I couldn't do it before Premium and late to start now... Maybe next year.
I"m almost done with mine even though had troubles in the beginning due to health stuff.
This is such a cool challenge. Unfortunately, I couldn't participate this year (in anything, to be honest), but hopefully next time!

We're less than two months away from The Fantastic Four making their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut! Tickets are available for pre-sale now, so after you've gone ahead and reserved a couple of those bad boys, please enjoy this trinket I commissioned in honor of the film's release! *Bigsmile*

I think I saw the movie a long time ago but I don't really know much about these characters - but thank you for the cool trinket *Cool*

Ugh, today was a heck of a day at work and I ended up missing all of my daily WdC achievements (except logging in) for the first time in almost five months. Me right now:


As before, I'm going to give myself a few days off to enjoy the freedom of not having a specific daily checklist to hit (mostly so I can line up my achievement badges to all hit on the same day again), and then it's right back to starting a new streak.

I have a perfect streak of not completing the achievements!
Jayne Author Icon - me too.

We're almost halfway through the year and "The Bradbury" Open in new Window. is still going strong!

The best part? Catching up is allowed, so it's not too late to start if you haven't already!

If you write 52 short stories, one of them's bound to be great... right? Let's find out!
#2277001 by Jeff Author IconMail Icon


PROTIP: If you're thinking that 52 short stories is a tall order, remember that there is no minimum word count requirement. A few hundred words of flash fiction counts the same as thousands of words, so you can still comfortably meet your goal by writing a couple of "Daily Flash Fiction Challenge" Open in new Window. or "The Writer's Cramp" Open in new Window. entries each week! *Smile*

It's a very good thing that catching up is allowed. I might end up writing 30 in November. *Smile*
