Music Challenge 2026 - Official Support Thread

[SissyBrandi19]

There are so many great songs that are about sex. The hardest part will be choosing one (or maybe two) to write. Maybe Peter Gabriel's (Genesis technically) Counting Out Time

For people who don't know it, here is a middle verse



It does not turn out well for the poor young man.

It does remind me of some sex scenes I have read here.

I started classical piano lessons at age 5 and grew up in an uber religious (baptist) household AND was the oldest kid AND adopted so when I started liking rock music that did NOT go over well but luckily my classical music background made me gravitate immediately to Genesis and my first taste (and a tribute to the old-school AOR rock stations who were free to play whatever shit they wanted) was when Genesis released "Lamb" and holy SHIT that opening by genius Tony Banks...chills. The story of Rael inside the double album - back in the days of actual album art - was captivating and thus my love of progressive rock begun. I'd have to call "Lamb" probably my overall favorite rock album ever, but whew...man...close maybe tied with Rush' "Hemispheres" because Cygnus X-1 Part 2? Masterpiece. Maybe the best single rock song in my eyes, well....eye...EVAR. And like pretty much 100% of my opinions, I'm pretty much alone, there, which is not a complaint - I'm built for solitude a.k.a. isolation. It's...best that way.

This thread officially kicks off the MUSIC CHALLENGE 2026 for the summer of 2026. Submissions can be sent in between August 1st through August 18th, with a Tuesday August 25 go live date.

This thread is also to SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE veteran and first-time authors to enter stories in the MUSIC CHALLENGE 2026. This is an open challenge for everyone; it is not a competition and there are no scores or prizes. It is, however, an opportunity to write a story with a similar theme to what other authors will be submitting and the stories will be presented together at the end of the challenge. As a result, your story will have greater exposure to the readers.

The rules and guidelines are simple:

Use a song title as the title of your story.

The story should reflect and build on the song title. The spirit of the challenge is to craft your story around the words, meaning or message of the song - but the degree to which you do this is up to you.

Very limited use of lyrics is permissible in the story but lengthy passages should be avoided.

Minimum length 750 words.

Any category may be chosen.

The usual Literotica rules regarding prohibited topics, etc will be followed.

Use MUSIC CHALLENGE 2026 as a story tag.

Include the words ‘MUSIC CHALLENGE 2026’ in the ‘notes’ field when you submit the story.

A few examples to stimulate your creative juices:

“Thank God and Greyhound (She’s Gone)” (Roy Clark-1970) – Loving Wives

“We Are Family” (Sister Sledge-1979) – Taboo and Incest

“Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in the Bed” (Kinky Friedman-1973) – Humor & Satire

“Only a Girl” (Gia Woods-2016) – Lesbian Sex

“London Boy” (Taylor Swift-2019) – Gay Male

“I Will Always Love You” (Dolly Parton-1973 & Whitney Houston-1992) – Romance

“Innocent” (Taylor Swift-2010) – First Time



And there are so many more good songs to use as a basis for this challenge and you have many months until the deadline. So, get busy and start writing. We are looking forward to reading your contributions.

[Edited] AS RECOMMENDED BY Actingup, you are encouraged to include a postscript about the song. This could include the musicians’ names, date of original release, how the story relates to the tune and anything else that you would like the reader to know.

I almost hate to ask this and "no" is always a perfectly legal answer, since there's no reason to change the rules, I'm not special, but since this does not involve a contest or anything I'll ask anyway: What would be the response if someone - who knows who would attempt this - wrote an actual song? Just a question...

I write tons of songs and one day I will write a music story and the songs to go with it and submit as an audio.
