Pandemonium challenge support thread

This isn't an official contest; it's an unofficial community event. Meaning all you are "winning" is some extra reader attention as well the sense of pride and accomplishment.

This is a challenge, and not a contest. There are no winners. Or you're all winners, depending on how you see it!

EDIT: Lobster beat me to it!

 

[TheNyxianLily]

Ahh I thought it was still considered a contest, just one without prizes. That makes sense!

 

[OtterlyMindblowing]

Good to know as well, I definitely had the wrong idea right with her

Well, that's it. Submitted. Title: The Virgin Sharpy.

My first excursion into Gay Male and honestly, the most difficult thing I've ever written that I didn't just give up on. I was tempted, too, as our time was running out, but it seemed a bit of a waste to bin 20K words. I can't honestly say I'm totally happy with it, but I'm not sure I would be with any more time. I'm not saying it's bad, necessarily (I'll leave that to the voters - I would rate it in the higher 3 stars, but it could get savaged: I'm straight, writing gay characters, and I might very easily not have been convincing on a number of levels). The plotting was tough, too, and there might not be enough of the demon side of it, either. I'm not selling it, am I ?

I'm in.
"Dig Two Graves" is a LW BTB story about a cuckolded husband who's placed a curse on his homewrecker, told from the POV of a detective investigating the case. Posted 9/23/24
Thanks for the prompt!

Okay, so, uhm...

Look, I just wanted to write a silly little romp with sexy demons. You know, completely unoriginal and very self-indulgent. And it was going great, at least for a time -- until those pesky things reared their ugly heads. Things, like, well, the usual...

Characters that actually show some personality.
Some semblance of real plot.
More than just perfunctory worldbuilding.
A villain and the associated conflict.

...and so on. You know, trivial little details like that.

Conversely, the result of my fearless pantsing has come just shy of 40k words, as I put in the final dot just now. It probably has heads and tails (definitely tails), so it might be possible I manage to edit it into submission before the challenge ends but, uh...

We'll see.

Squeaked in under the wire!

Just submitted my piece, 12k words, and the first long form fiction I've written in over a decade.
