Winter Holiday 2024 Contest Support and Seasonal Story Discussion Thread

[StillStunned]

I started work on Alan Scarlett and the Title To Be Determined a week ago. I jumped in knowing where I wanted my characters by the end of the story, what planet or space station they would be on, who lived, who died, who was fucking who, etc. and that's it. I let my muse take over from there. It started out just like I thought it would then - Holy jumping shit! My muse just started interplanetary war with the 22nd century communist party! What fun! I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Sooo... "Alan Scarlett and the Fickleness of the Muse"?

Probably Alan Scarlett and the Attack of the Rabid Plot Bunnies

Alan Scarlett and the Plot Bunny of Caerbannog!

I've got an extra Holy hand grenade if you need one. Remember, the count is three...

That sounds like a plot bunny for Group Sex. "One, two, five!"

 

[Duleigh]

No! Three!

Four is right out!!!

This is beginning to sound like how readers rate our stories...

Hence, the Holy hand grenade... wink, wink, nudge, nudge...(different skit, I know, but...)

This question might be more for the other Antipodeans on this thread, but is there any sense that readers will penalise authors for writing warm tropical stories at Christmas? The language around this competition tends to be very Northern Hemispheric.

Nah... I've written a bunch of warm weather Aussie Xmas stories, and my scores have been pretty much in line with my other ones. Though US-centric, I do see Literotica as international waters, so to speak...go for it! Summer Xmas, represent!

I have a question about the Holiday 2024 contest:

Is it OK to post more than one story?

I went a little crazy this year.....

I think you can submit as many stories as you like.

Sure. Knock yourself out. As long as they're all stand-alones, it doesn't matter how many you post.

What other sites? Of course, now that I think about it, I'm sure there are other erotic literature sites. I just don't know what they are. I've heard people say something about "A02" or something, but are there others? Any worth posting on?

Winter - it's coming!

 

[MyBareTorso]

Ooh, mine's nearly ready. A very Aussie-centric Xmas celebrity sex-fest.

 

[Actingup]

Yeah, yeah. If you like that sort of freezing your arse off thing...

Super excited my beta reader just sent her thoughts on my Winter Holiday story. Time to start last round of edits.

I apologize in advance I am an American Thanksgiving, Christmas season and NYE junkie!

Join the gang! We're all crazy about the abundance of indoor celebrations and outdoor sports. Where I live now, NYE is the kick off of kids baseball season.

I just about have a complete draft. In fact, unlike my abandoned Halloween project, I'm blowing through my writing goals with ease. I think some stories want to happen more than others.

God willing, anyone who wants to can read about Hope and Yoo's sapphic gift-giving misadventures in a couple weeks.

I don't know what it is about the winter holidays that causes our muses to run wild. On my other site we already have entries for the Winter Holidays and they've never done that before.

 

[WriterPerson314159]

My muses decided I needed to write a romantic group sex story with three equal partners that took place over more than a week in a town that had its own complex backstory. So I’m nearing 17k words and on day two and…

I may be the only one who reads the damned thing if it gets up to 50k.

 

[Trionyx]

I'm going for a repeat...

Good luck, not that you’ll need it. (aka, green with envy)
