Virtual Literotica Convention 2025 Author Challenge Official Support Thread

[FreyaGersemi]

what if you found out... where you came from and why, and it was that you were a character in a smut story, to be disposed of immediately afterwards. How would you feel?

Like an author on Literotica.

It might make more sense to of them as footnotes.

Yeah. That's what I figured. Thank you!

My comment up above was more tongue in cheek, but I agree with the others, put the links at the end.

In fact, I've done this myself: I've got a story series here where the lead recognises herself in a story (or at least, in the opening scene) and gets in contact with the author, because she's intrigued. The woman in the first story is nothing like her, but she knows it's her in the opening scene. The author she contacts is the other character in the first story, who is really just a writer of stories.

It goes all self-referential, very meta, because I'm the author, the MC is my often used lead, and the opening scene is in fact true. I link all of the stories they talk about at the end of the first chapter.

@FreyaGersemi - Glad to see the challenge is now official and there is already so much interest from so many even if it's scheduled for April-May 2025.

The characters in my stories are available to anyone wishing to give them new experiences - I would only request you let me know what you intend leading them into (through PM).

You may want to list them on this thread.

Here's a thread with characters available for use in this challenge: Characters Available For Use

If anyone is making characters available for use, it would help if they provided a brief character description of each one with key characteristics they want maintained. Is the character a specific height/weight/age/hair color/sexual orientation or have any interesting kinks or personality quirks? Then name one story which might best describe them.

Basically, tell us why we might want to use them in our stories.

The problem with saying "You can use all of my characters" is that requires us to read all of your stories. And while that might be necessary to get a better feel for the character before we write them, if everyone does that, I won't have time to read every story every author offers.

I'd rather read a synopsis of a character who catches my attention, then open a story to read more about the ones I need.

Write an ad for your character the way Freya started with hers to sell them to us.

You are right - I'm quite busy at the moment but I'll try to write up a small presentation of my characters as soon as possible. Problem is I'm still learning to know them as well!
Still, I don't have that many stories posted (only 4), so reading them might not be such a tedious task and they are not very long (3.6k for the shortest and 17.5k for the longest). But the 3 longer ones have quite a number of characters and all the stories are standalone (for now, I have some ideas for more stories with some of the characters).
You can still have a look and PM me if you want more details. Anyway, I'll try to come up with a CV for some of them soon - others will follow later.

And it doesn't have to be long. Here's a suggestion that I offered to another author:

Female Character Name - short, blonde, early 20s, has a fetish for older men (contact me for more info)

As simple as that. An author may see that and thing, "Oh, I have my old guy character going to the convention and she would be perfect for him." You never know!!

Think of the character descriptions we'll all list in Characters Available For Use like a pre-convention "Meet & Greet" cocktail hour. You're standing at the bar and see:

A Five-foot seven, 140-pound, fiftyish woman with green eyes, and long auburn hair worn in a left flip-over style but falling to the middle of her back. She walks up to you confidently saying "Hi, I'm Janet Smith, but everyone calls me 'Jan'. My husband, Ted, will be here soon. I'm into daily exercise and yoga a few times per week. My husband and I have been together since high school, but we've started into the swinger lifestyle a few years ago. At first, I'd never touch another woman. But I've come to enjoy their touch, and even returning the favors, if you know what I mean."

If you're a man, she glances coyly down at your pants and runs a finger along the protrusion she notices growing down your right thigh, saying "I see I've caught your attention. By the way, I like to flirt. My husband calls it my 'sport'. Would you like to play my game? I'm not into pain, but a sharp slap on my ass is sometimes appreciated. And I do EVERYTHING!"

If you're a woman, she looks at your chest, saying "Hmmm, I'd love for our girls to have a playdate together. By the way, in case you haven't noticed, I like to flirt. My husband calls it my 'sport'. Would you like to play my game? But my preference is to be 'The Maneater'!"



Now, you don't need to read my stories to see one of the convention attendees. You can already have your fun with her.
