The 2026 [lit] 750 Word Project Support Thread

could someone explain what it means by "On March 1st, the full list of all challenge stories will be posted under the Literotica account."

most importantly:
1. do i keep full control of the story for if i want to edit or delete it?
2. does it link back to my account in some way?

from what i can see both are the case, but i just wanna be sure.

also is this like a contest with a winner or just like an event to try?

Event to try. You have semi-control over your story; you can submit edits and deletions normally but they take time to be processed. It'll link to your account as well; it's just like the list of contest stories.

Stories will be published as they come, but the full list will be published on 1st March. There is no prize (it's a challenge, not a competition). Don't ever count on being able to edit or delete your stories quickly when published - publishing doesn't work like that.

i'm aware of how editing/deleting normally works, i'm checking if it is different when entering in a challenge. As i understand it that is the case for competitions (expected to stay up 1 year), but not for challenges?

It will be a post by the Literotica account that is like this (last year's): https://www.literotica.com/s/the-750-word-project-2025-the-stories

It's a list of all the entries submitted. It give a little more exposure for all the stories.

And *that* is why this site is way more educational than the equivalent time watching porn...

The words quoted in the story are

Fox ran over the lake, fox ran over the lake
If we may, if we may, sing the song of a baker

And yes! You wouldn’t know this without exposure to my bleak apocalyptic smut

I got three more up:

• Opulent Prison, a look inside a gilded cage
• Padded Chastity, a diaper orgasm denial piece
• Pony Suit, a fetish pony play outfit piece (as the title implies)

You can also see how adept I am at coming up with creative titles.

This is a challenging project to write for. It often feels like I have to prune and condense so much that I end up wondering if it's simply better off as a longer piece. (That can be awkward though because then I would likely end up with a very short story that's still longer than 750 words.)

What I end up doing is trying to have the story accomplish one main thing. For example, in Opulent Prison, I spent a lot of time describing the cage and the setting, which was the main focus. This came at the expense of being able to talk much about the character, or the backstory, or anything else.

I think this format is a lot easier if you have a finished piece that's much shorter and all you have to do is build around it somewhat.

I often say that 1000 words make a scene and 3 scenes make a story, but here 750 words make a scene that tells a story.

I wrote a 750 word story. One sitting, about 2 hours. The reaction has been so incredibly positive and enjoyable and wonderful. For such a small investment! At that length, each review and edit took less than 10 minutes.

It's in LW, so of course the score is not great, but the comments are incredibly sweet.

I'm definitely doing this again next year!
