Pink Orchid 2026: Story Event for Women-Centric Erotica - Official Support Thread

[ArdentHemingway]

Why do we call it Standard Time if we're only on it for about 4.5 months?

Because normal people stay on it all year.

 

[ArdentHemingway]

Y'all are trying to think of a polite way to remind me that none of us are truly normal?

 

[Lord_Libido]

Because normal people stay on it all year.

Don't most people use daylight savings time?

 

[ArdentHemingway]

That's what they _want_ you to think.

 

[Omenainen]

Alright alright why are you people here spewing conspiracies instead of reading pink orchids? Shoo, all of you.

 

[Dancefactory]

Oh no, my Pink Orchid stories go to error page! I try to report this when I find a proper place for that.

Oh? Really? That’s good news! Thanks! Maybe it’s just some problem on the servers etc magical stuff.

Could someone test if this works? It’s the link I see there, and it goes to 404 page.

No, actually, it took me to your series page; neither story is showing when I click on them.

There was something weird earlier and the second one opened to the old Literotica view, and I could read it but not vote. Hope they’ll get it sorted out. I bet it’s something to do with having other-than-English story.

And I know that at some point the first opened in this new view because that I did read and vote and comment.

Darn! Thanks for testing, hope they get it fixed.

I noticed this too, the old view. Strange.

I wonder if the story is in limbo between other and Finnish. Hopefully it will get straightened out. I did try editing the url to use either and neither works currently

Yeah, could be. Thanks for testing! Maybe it gets fixed on the midnight update.

Happy International Women’s Day! The list is now published.

Compared to the list I had built from tag searches, there was some I didn’t have on my list but some I had that weren’t on the official list, so check if yours is where it should be and if not, message Laurel (in other words, I can’t do anything about it).

I’ll compose and post statistics as soon as I’m able. Until then, happy reading everyone!

I just messaged Laurel that the list is missing mine: "That Look of Yours"

 

[Omenainen]

So, statistics! The thing we love the most! (Or not, but since I have a spreadsheet, you'll get it, ready or not.)

According to my list, this year we had 69 stories by 56 individual authors in 20 different categories. Altogether this amounted to 767 005 words! This was a record year on all of these data points! The most authors, the most categories, the most stories, the most words. Amazing! Well done, everyone! I'm reading through the list, but it'll take some time. And the German one I won't read for lack of language skills on my part This year also had the most non-English stories, because there are also two stories in Finnish.

Breakdown by categories:

13 Erotic Couplings
12 Lesbian Sex
5 Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Romance, Loving Wives, Exhibitionist & Voyeur
4 Group Sex
3 Mature, Fetish
2 Letters & Transcripts, NonHuman, Novels and Novellas
1 BDSM, First Time, Mind Control, Non-Erotic, Reluctance/NonConsensual, Taboo/Incest, Toys & Masturbation, Transgender

 

[BryanRichardson]

Buckeye - Party Prep isn’t on the list either. How do I contact Laurel?

An impressive range, both in width and depth, as well as linguistically.

Thanks for doing this, always an enjoyable challenge, with some good reading to look forward to.

I wrote both the Nonhuman stories. That seems to be my niche.

I have the lone BDSM story and my two entries are 80k of the total, my self-indulgent wordiness helped for once.

Thank you.

I wrote the sole Toys & Masturbation entry, but it's only 10k so it didn't help the word total much.

Bring a cup, I have plenty to spare.
