THE APRIL FOOLS CONTEST OPENS IN 9 DAYS!
no foolin'!
It's time to get your silly on!
Pranks, jokes, silly surprises, whoopie cushions in church - they're all fair game. My MC Josh goes to extreme lengths to win a game of strip eight ball pool with a former Miss Ohio just to get her clothes off... among other things no foolin'!
It's time to get your silly on!
and he warned her that he cheats! It's going to be a great reveal. And it's a great chance to get out of your box, run off to a different direction and surprise your regular readers!

Not quite; I submitted one as well. Although I don't expect a highly favorable reaction. The premise is quite silly, so I think it's a fair hat, at least.

It’s a common problem. Couple it with burnout and lack of time… maybe you’ll overcome it. Maybe I will too. Wish us both luck.Still zip ideas. Might sit this one out

I'm (nearly) in. The story is about 90% done. Unfortunately, the second story will have to wait until next year. I can't write like you or Em.

I have a silly little "forced proximity" story started for this one I'm not sure if I'll finish in time or not, but I like it. It's more centered towards April as a theme as opposed to April Fool's, but that's all right. Anyways, best of luck to everyone.

I was quite intimidated by the seemingly super vague guide for this contest, so had my mind made up to skip it and wait for the summer contest. Then that darn @Devinter asked if I was going to submit a story for the April Fools' Day Contest and told me how well I had done with the last contest and... Insecure woman + flattery... I just submitted a story. My first attempt (on Literotica) at Sci-Fi. And a "slow burn" no less! If you have read any of my other stories, you know that I am definitely not the slow burn type. I have absolutely NO IDEA what they like in that category, but... Wish me luck!!

Yeah - maybe I used up my inspiration for 2024 before we hit March
Also comps just seem to be open season for trolls - most of my submissions gain 0.3 in the pre-announcement sweep, which is just kinda depressing when you think about it

Hey now.. I just happen to believe in you.
Nothing wrong with that! And I would wish you luck, but based on what I've seen of your story so far, I do not think you actually need it. You remembered to tag it correctly, I hope, in the Note to Admin box? The upload date isn't technically until March 1st but Laurel should 'hold it back' for you until the competition begins.

My story for this contest, “Who is the Real Luke Davis,” was posted earlier this evening. I believe I clearly marked it APRIL FOOLS 2024 in the Notes to Admin field, and it published with the same tag. I hope this mistake can be corrected and it can still be counted eligible for the contest!
I sent a note to the site admin but wanted to document it here as well to raise visibility. Even if it has to be pulled down and reposted I would be happy to have them do that so I can play in the sandbox with all of you fine people.

This happens sometimes. Contacting the Admin was the correct choice. It'll get pulled back to Pending status and it'll get re-posted on the launch date of the event. Any votes, views, and comments it has accumulated prior to the start of the competition does remain, however!

I need to dust off mine, do that final edit I've been putting off and put it in the mail
