2024 Nude Day Contest support thread

Would it work for the Summer contest?

It might!

 

[Voboy]

It might!

It will, as long as you play up the "summer at the beach" aspect and [somewhat] play down the "everyone's nekkid" aspect.

Go for it!

The kitten better be naked. Although if it’s shaved I expect some people are going to be upset.

 

[litfan10]

Didn't you read my post? I have a kitten! Who needs luck?

True. I love cozy mysteries. I especially buy them if they have kittens on the cover.

If you're ever feeling glum, just do a Google Images search for "kittens" and "gif".

YouTube is my friend. I love watching Sigrid, the bike riding deaf Norwegian longhair.

Hmm. Possibly. That might give them something to do at the resort. Gathering around the fishpond and/or pool. Sunburns, or the avoidance thereof. The nudist aspect is already baked into the story, tho'.

I haven't been writing much lately. (Depression has been kicking my ass.) But I'm almost done with a swapped POV opposite of my National Nude Day entry from last year. I'd meant to have both of them together as one story, but clearly that didn't happen. I believe it qualifies as a stand alone story, with the the dialogue being the only words that are the same in both, but I feel to enter the contest with it, if it would even be allowed, would go against the spirit of the contest. I'll use the tag, but I'm somewhat conflicted, given the view/read count would be significantly higher if it was part of the contest. There's no chance of it winning of course, but I was hoping to get some other perspectives on what I could see as a sort of gray area?

Thanks everyone!

If it would make you feel any better about putting it in the contest, you can add to the note denoting it as a contest story that you don't want it to be considered when the scores are tallied up. That's something that's been done a few times before. Just being part of the contest isn't really hurting anyone who's competing, and you're right that you'll get more reads by it being in the contest. People who are ineligible because of recent wins enter contests they can't win all the time. This isn't really any different.

Maybe you bump one story that would have been on the first page of the main new story list because contest stories get top billing, but it's as likely as not that you would have landed on page 1 anyway, meaning that story would have been on page 2 anyhow. There's no tangible harm you're doing to anyone else by allowing your story to get additional exposure from the contest. Tell Laurel not to consider it and there's no chance you accidentally bump a winner. No harm, no foul.

Mine's officially in the queue. ( as Les Lumens ) My editor gets a heroism badge for getting through this thing so quickly. LOL

Flesh 4 Fantasy is up!

Congrats! Best of luck

Judging by the 1 and the 3 that have already been dropped, either people think my story is a contender, or they think it's crap.

Always go with contender
I find the early bird voters can be curmudgeonly

Are you sure you didn’t post in Loving Wives by accident?

Oh hi!

The whole 'nude day' concept pushes a lot of my buttons, so I figured I'd try my hand at writing a thing (and even creating a Literotica profile for it!), and now (with barely a day left before the deadline), I'm happy to present Samantha Spring's Sapphic Summer!

Hope you all enjoy! And, y'know, if y'all say something nice I might actually try writing some more silly smut about gratuitous nudity.

Mine just got approved to go up with the new stories in the wee hours of the morning.

Last day to post stories for the contest, Litsters.
The contest submission doors shut at 11:59 est.
Good luck and thank you to all who entered!

Too bad it's the last day but this just popped in my Youtube feed:

It's actually an appalling set of circumstances, of the "California be crazy" flavor, but I'm sure it'd be possible to change some details and lighten it up.
There is a degree of mystery there, too. Like why is landlord not doing anything? Maybe some kind of (sexual) blackmail is involved?

All in all, it could be a different take on the Nude Day next year, one that's less happy-go-lucky and more gritty and realistic.

 

[Voboy]

Some great stories in there this year. Well done, everybody.

 

[Wineandcheese]

You may not have meant me, but I’ll take the compliment anyway. This has been loads of fun. I never hoped to win, but I’m quite content with how my story did. I may need to try another contest!

They're addictive. Partly because they're a little bit challenging, but mostly because of the support threads and the solidarity with other writers!
