And it just got approved!

I wish I could read a 47k word novel in one day like Laurel can!

Mine's in the queue. For 2025.

I really wanted to finish mine for this event, but too much life got in the way so it looks like I'll be joining you on that. Congratulations to all who were able to finish their stories.

Woo hoo! Mine is up! Plenty of sex, lots of violence...and a few Authors Hangout name-checks! Up my views by scrolling through and seeing if you're in there! Yes, I'm shameless!

Enjoy! And thanks to @ChloeTzang for running this one!

My story is up too! It's a murder mystery in a modern-day San Francisco. It hopefully shows that you don't need a gloomy, rain-soaked city for a hardboiled crime story

It's in first person PoV, obviously, which is actually my first time writing from that perspective. Also my first E&V story, so curious how that goes, too.

Sounds good! E&V is my fave...

Just wanted to share my experience: A day in and my story is at 10K+ views, 10 comments that are all positive, and a rating still hovering under 4.0. Loving Wives. I was arrogant enough to think I could do better there but it seems my sensibilities are not in synch.

Oh well. I knew a low score was a risk. Count me as having learned my lesson. I didn’t enter this challenge for the rating. I did it because it was fun for me to write this kind of thing. Thank you to Chloe Zhang.

I hope anyone interested isn’t scared off by the low rating. I definitely feel like my story contains some of my best sparkling prose, passages I’m actually proud of, even if they do indulge my love for first person internal monologues.

OMG Chloe sorry for misspelling your name!!!

 

[MyBareTorso]

Some fucking good stories (and good fucking stories!) this year, guys and girls! Love all the tough talk, nasty sex, and heightened violence! Well done!

In loving wives? I thought that place was supposed to be an order of magnitude chattier.

And all positive? Now I know something's going on.

Is there an official page with all the stories? I’ve only seen six under the tag so I’m wondering if that’s all.
