The 2024 750 Word Story Challenge Support Thread

[ShelbyDawn57]

Addictive. I regularly enter a contest with a 1,000-word limit, so 750 isn't all that bad. It's a good exercise in working on cutting the least necessary words and phrases out of a story.

It does. On several of mine I found myself screaming, just five more words, please, just five more...

Add this somewhere, "And so all things go."

[EmilyMiller]

I've just submitted two 750-word stories, one of which features the Mystery Woman. I'm interested to see how they do, and as much as I've enjoyed writing these shorter vignettes, I think I do generally prefer having the room to include more sex...

Hey, cool

I look forward to reading it. Mine is scheduled for Feb 2. I have seven being published Feb 1 - 7

[MillieDynamite]

I haven't put mine up yet. I'll try to get that done later today or in the morning. Mine isn't erotic; don't expect it to do well.

 

[StillStunned]

I've just submitted one. It's the first in what will hopefully be a series of monologues about a director trying to get a porn shoot going. This one is the setup. The next will introduce the male "talent". I'm looking forward to the interactions between the world-weary director ("I could have worked with Olivier!") and the shallow, self-obsessed actor.

I've submitted it in Humour & Satire, which is a new category for me.

I've decided to pull this entry. I just wasn't feeling it.

Oh cute, I just looked in my Pending folder and saw that Laurel spaced out my stories. They get published on 02/01, 02/02, 02/03, 02/04

Yeah. I only just noticed that too. Feb, 1 to Feb, 6

Yeah same here; my first drops tomorrow, my second on Friday.

It's already tomorrow, but I still have to wait for you lot to catch up.

 

[Rob_Royale]

I'm ready for mine to post. My entry for last year has done pretty well at 4.49 with 14k views, and my new one is just as sexy. I enjoy this challenge.

Amen! It really makes you concentrate on what you're writing. Can you get the idea across coherently? Can you make the dialog sound believable? Can you adequately describe the actions? Can you get enough exposition into the story so the readers understand the characters?

We'll know soon, we go live in 5 hours, the first stories usually hit at 2:00 AM EDT
Remember folks, this is not a contest, and as always - No Wagering.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Not going to happen.

I'm betting one of the first comments will be be along the line of "dad should have gotten into the action sooner - 1*".

 

[EmilyMiller]

I might have written an eighth…

Someone please help me

I know that guy!

 

[Priscilla_June]

Excited, this is my first time with such a short work. Enjoyed writing it, as simple as it is, really made me think.

My two just dropped!

A little random encounter nothing story, and a pretty fun witching one.

And I spotted onehitwanda's!

 

[AlinaX]

And here's my first, one I wrote for Loving Wives but it got shunted (for obvious reasons) into I/T:
A Desperate Situation

 

[Rustyoznail]

My I/T story, https://literotica.com/s/im-home, is sitting at just over 4.1. I think that's a win!

 

[Rob_Royale]

My ex/voy story, Video Fun. Just a bit of nastiness.

 

[TheRedChamber]

Here's mine:

My Birthday Fetish

And for luck, here's the one I got to exactly 750 words before suddently deciding the whole thing needed an extra scene and ending up well over 1k.

On Her Majesty's Secretarial Service

That's enough for one year, unless I'm suddenly inspired again...which is fairly likely in fact.

The Local Vintage...

but, of course, my Muse has run up with the dildo of "hah, bitch, you thought I was done with you" and now it's going to turn into something longer.

@EmilyMiller and @Jackie.Hikaru how much do I need to pay you guys to break my wrists for me?

If you're going to pay them to restrain your hands, you should ask them to be your mittens instead.

I'd prefer them to be my ear muffs.



also: wow, haha. People really hate 750 word stories.

 

[Sinstories]

My first, Favors and Currency

A sequel to a story I've written but needs some work before I submit it.
