This original post will be under an almost constant state of flux until all the kinks are worked out. Please bear with me!
Well, @AlexFourways had an idea posted on the 2024 Literotica Winter Holiday Authors’ Thread, I kind of refined it, and then @Morevinila urged/egged me on… So here we are!
The First Annual Virtual Literotica Convention Story Idea Thread!!!!
Yay!!!!!!!
Please use the tag: Lit Con 2025
That way, we can find each others’ stories.
I’ll set out some rules and I will edit this initial post as needed.
The basic premise is that authors write a story where the initial setting is a Literotica Convention and then things go from there. I started out coming up with all these rules, but then decided it would probably be much more fun if we just make it a free-for-all!! Hey, it’s all make-believe and it’s all in good fun, right?
The most important thing should be… Be kind to everyone’s characters!
These characters are the hard work of an actual human being. Characters may seem to take on a life of their own, but there’s a real person in there. Try to be cognizant of that fact. And please get permission to use a character (or an author). It only takes a few seconds to ask.
And, of course, if you have any questions about the appropriateness of something that you are writing, please contact the author privately as in: “Hey, I’m writing So-and-so doing this-and-that. Are you cool with it?” Some authors may not want their character involved in certain things.
So, the specifics of the stories…
The setting: The First Annual Virtual Literotica Convention at “The Grand City Hotel” in Grand City (of course)
It all happens over a long weekend.
Some authors would like more of a setting, so here it is (of course, an author could eschew all of this and go completely AWOL, so my fondness for rule-less mayhem can still exist!).
If you need guidance on the setting specifics, The Grand City Hotel is (in reality) Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC, United States. But to avoid any issues, we're using The Grand City Hotel in Grand City. You can do an Internet search for the Marriot Marquis and see pictures, rooms, amenities, surrounding neighborhoods, etcetera.
On Friday, the first night of the convention, there is a meet and greet in the hotel’s main ballroom with a jazz band playing on the small stage at one end, and a bar and light buffet set up at the other end.
The next day (Saturday) consists of various workshops (think: “How to Please a Man,” “How to Please a Woman,” “Sex in the Modern Age,” “Workshops for Erotic Writers,” “Book Signings,” etcetera -- makeup whatever you want, if needed) in some of the hotel’s smaller conference rooms.
That night there is a formal dinner in the main ballroom with some keynote speakers, then dancing into the wee hours.
On the final day of the convention (Sunday), there’s a brunch in the main ballroom, followed by a few more workshops and a casual dinner back in the main ballroom.
No worries about overlapping stories or situations that someone has already come up with. Just write whatever you want to. For example, someone writes a story where a freak storm hits and the power goes out in the entire hotel. You can write a story that the weekend was perfectly sunny. Remember, this is all make-believe!
Please mention/tag the authors whose characters you are using. The characters are their intellectual property, so be sure to credit them properly. This whole idea is a great way to get readers to read other authors’ work. Like a sitcom crossover. Readers won’t do that unless they know where to click.
