The 2025 750 Word Story Challenge Support Thread

[Rollinbones]

So, I had a V-day story that was 1500 words conceptually while it waited for character development, back story and blatant author licence. I challenged myself to trim it to the bones and see if i could still make it speak.

Can a story be concurrently entered in the V day comp and the 750 word challenge as well? I don't expect it to ring major bells in the v day lists, but it would get some views. Is that against the spirit of things?

Thoughts and guidance please?

The 750 is a challenge, not a contest, so yes you could enter in both.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but will submissions before February 1st be excluded?

You should submit as per the instructions. It makes administration much simpler. It's not as if you have to wait very long.

You're right, of course. It's the first erotic story I've ever written so I'm eager to get it out there. But anticipation is 90% of pleasure, right?

First story has a publishing date of the 1st. Whoop whoop
