Pink Orchid 2026: Story Event for Women-Centric Erotica - Official Support Thread

[AwkwardMD]

Submitted my first one, requested a 09 Feb posting date.

It's the best thing I've ever written. It's not a perfect fit for any category, but it's a the kind of story I've been waiting all my life to be able to pull off. Could not be more proud.

I've done a trifecta - 750 words for Pink Orchid and Valentine's Day. It's a nice little story.

There's another couple stories I'm working on, one would work for PO, but I'll be amazed if I get it done in time.

Hell yeah!

I've been "almost done" with mine for days now, but I keep thinking of one more twist to add. I also want to do one more sex scene and those tend to take a long time to write well. Mayyyybe tomorrow?

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Final, yes-darn-it-FINAL editing…

 

[Lifestyle66]

I just clicked "Publish" on my 14K word story for the challenge.

I could continue editing and making minor revisions. But it's best to move along and resist those urges. I think I can hold out for two or three days, and NOT make any further changes.

I'm almost done with last years!

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Mine’s in for 8,500 and I am truly surprised at the round number.

 

[Lord_Libido]

Mine just finished at a modest 6.1k words. Can I specify a date for publishing in the admin notes?

In the past, I’ve asked Laurel if she could publish on X date she’s always been kind and has done the best as possible

 

[Lifestyle66]

Wow!

My Pink Orchid story was approved in just five hours!

I have my pink orchid vignette ready as well. I got it down to 750 words with a Valentine's Day theme so I will enter it in all three events. I will submit it on February the 1st

Wowsers!! Ya'lls creativity is amazing

Wowsers!! Ya'lls creativity is amazing

The only glitch I can see is if my vignette gets stuck in "pending purgatory" when I submit it on Sunday the 1st. Seems like people are still having that issue

Stuck on the final scene. Had three cracks at it and none have the right feel. Hopefully this weekend it'll come to me, which will finish it seeing I got tired of messing with it and write the sex scene and epilogue.

I am right there with you. Hoping to push out a Valentine-Orchid dually by the end of this weekend. Too much messing with mine, gotta stop! Three sex scenes sitting as notes waiting to become human.

Just submitted Friendly Advice, my second novel. I think it's the best story I've ever written. I cry a lot every pass reading it. I hope it didn't come out too sad overall. It definitely has a long dark stretch and not as much of HEA as I usually right even at the end.

Sounds promising! I’m looking forward to reading this!

Update. It’s already been approved for Sunday release. My fastest approval ever I think.

 

[YDB95]

Just submitted mine. For once I feel pretty good about it, too!

 

[Aoife_from_Ulster]

I went a different direction with my Women-Centric Erotica stories this year. I am not certain how they will be received but The Belle and The Bull will publish tomorrow. I also have a follow on for one of myn750-Word stories which will cum soon

 

[Trionyx]

Be prepared for a deluge of stories in the next week. Last week of VD submissions and the first week of PO and 750 submissions. Good luck seeing your story on the first page of new submissions in almost every category.

 

[Rambling_Chantrix]

Just got my Pink Orchid submission, "Fellas, is it gay?", edited and ready, will submit tomorrow. It involves a Red Lobster, a threesome, and some fun queer sex.

 

[THBGato]

Good luck seeing your story on the first page of new submissions in almost every category.

Part of the reason why I decided to submit under "Letters and transcripts". (Also, because it's an interview transcript.)

The other stories can wait until the VD contest is out of the way.

 

[Omenainen]

Submitted mine! I simply don't have patience to wait longer, no matter how many other stories there'll be around this time.

Also here is shortcut to a tag search to keep track of entries before the final list comes out.
