You can get an Amazon gift card for the equivalent amount in USD, as per rules.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the monthly contest and the themed contests were the same.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if the monthly contest and the themed contests were the same.

They're loosely related; the scoring method and the prize money are roughly the same, but they're conducted very differently (when the monthlies are conducted at all!). There is constant confusion about whether the monthlies are still going on, and at best they're usually backlogged. The themed ones are better-organized, as a rule.

Surprise! I just finished a 4K-word Nude Day story in the past 24 hours, inspired by events at our summer cabin. It needs a couple more reads for polishing, and then I will sleep on whether to upload. You see, it's absolutely an LW story, and I really try to avoid the category for obvious reasons. If I tried to get it past Laurel by calling it something else, she'd move it there anyway.

The other ND story I've been working on is making headway, currently at 8K words and will probably top out at 12K. Whether it makes the deadline... we'll see!

5k into my story, started and I couldn't stop!!!

It's great when that happens. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth; other times it's like diarrhea.

I finished a piece on Tuesday that I began on Sunday; something over 20k words, and it's a good one. The words really, really flowed.

It's great when you find good characters. You just want to explore with them, and see what happens. Makes it all so much more hotter and mote satisfying.

Huzzah! This story just earned its "NEW" flag, and will appear in the wee hours tonight.

I did my usual, "Okay, let's re-read this story," this morning. Yes, it was after uploading, and found a HUGE character transposition. Fixed it and apparently re-uploaded just in time. :wiping_brow:

I have finally sent my story to review, on Friday evening, a longer one, and that pushes boundaries of three or four of "Content Guidelines" at once. So, I have no idea if it'll even be accepted, and most probably I'll have to wait until next week. But either way - I'm glad it's finally over.

I think I goofed.

I wrote what I think is a stellar story with plenty of exhibitionism. But after looking through some other entries I don’t know if “nude” is the word that describes it best. My protagonist is naked with plenty of witnesses (and ultimately learns she is on camera too) but it is 100% sexual from the start. As another commenter pointed out, nudity itself is usually not sexual.

I’ve never entered a contest before. Should I enter it anyway and see what happens? Or just post it as a regular story?

I'm sure it will fit the contest just fine.

It's called "Nude Day" but it doesn't have to be about a literal fictitious Nude Day, even if many stories are since the premise is kinda goofy and thus fun. My understanding is that anything involving public nudity is fine; it's basically the E&V category in a contest form.

It'll be just fine. Not to worry.

Don’t see why you shouldn’t. Contest rules only state that the story should involve public nudity, not be related to a specific day, and entring a contest, if nothing else, gives you more exposure.

 

[MrPixel]

...public nudity, ... gives you more exposure.

Did you intend that?

You've uncovered his ploy and laid it bare.

It’s my first contest too, and I wondered the same thing. But this is Literotica. EVERYTHING here is sexual!

Thanks! I added one more section to bolster the public nudity element. Hopefully it still flows naturally enough. One more read through and I think it will be ready to publish. More exposure is always good .

Heh. I had one ND story go up day before yesterday, and got one helluva screed in comments about sullying "wholesome and natural" nude-in-outdoors, as nature intended, how dare I sexualize it the way I did, that I am an awful person, blah blah blah. I deleted the harangue, primarily because it was insulting, but also because I feel comments are a lousy forum for debate, which this comment deserved.

What I wanted to push back against was his ignorance about my portraying a nudist resort as a den of iniquity. Apparently this commenter was awash in the AANR and FKK propaganda about "healthy, family-oriented recreational social nudity", and was clueless that there are in fact a fair number of "lifestyle" resorts that cater to social nudity without preventing adults from doing adult things among other adults. These places certainly aren't in the AANR directory, that's for sure!

I had to tweak mine a couple of times for pace, but I think it's finally at a place to roll forward through the end. I should have enough time to finish it, get it edited, and still finish the spreadsheets for my firework shows this year in the meantime... I think. LOL

I’ve never understood why people come to Literotica, which literally has “erotica” in the name, and then get upset when things get sexual.
