| 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.      The Prizes: First Place 125K Awardicon + Appropriate Merit Badge + 50,000 GPs Second Place 100K Awardicon + Appropriate Merit Badge + 35,000 GPs Third Place 75K Awardicon + Appropriate Merit Bage + 15,000 GPs      The Prompt: Choose one element from each of the categories below and use them in a story about someone's sexy wish coming true at his or her birthday party: 
 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!   |
