The Official (Mostly) Literotica April Fool's Day Contest Support Thread!!!

[djrip]

Some of the most fun stories to write have been AF stories with a surprise twist at the end. After writing a few over the years, I have come to realize that the readers frequently don’t like these twists. On my current story Kayla’s Charity Auction (https://www.literotica.com/s/kaylas-charity-auction) one comment opined if I wasn’t going to finish the story, I shouldn’t have posted it. I guess it is OK to fool a character, but don’t fool the reader.

I liked the story! But I don't know if the commenter felt tricked, so much as left hanging. Personally I felt like the story ended right when it was about to get started. I take it hubby bought out part of the bid and earned himself entry to the room. But what's going to happen now? Could be Kayla turns Livy down and they all play cards, could be Livy turns on the charm and seduces her--which would be a good scene in itself because nothing has to happen, so Livy would have to make it happen if she wants it, especially with hubby's presence and moral support probably making Kayla feel more able to say no to unwanted advances. If so, does hubby participate or have to sit there watching? Etc etc. Now there's a certain charm to leaving it a bit open like this, gives me, the reader, the chance to enjoy wondering about these things. But a reader who wants that closure feeling like you didn't finish the story also makes sense to me.

And once again I finish by the skin of my teeth. I really wish I could have 15 stories in reserve like everyone else here...

 

[Duleigh]

Me too

 

[ChloeTzang]

Skin of your teeth? Huh! Rolls around laughing. Just submitted mine at 11.54pm....if anyone comes in after me, I'll buy them a coffee.....

While @ChloeTzang slides one more in, (like Flynn?) I sadly have to announce

ENTRIES HAVE CLOSED

Thank you to all who have entered a story. For our latest entries, I hope you all earn enough votes to be counted in the final judging, and for those that posted early, I hope the sweeps are kind.

See you at the finish line!​

 

[LingeringAfterthought]

I made it - just barely. "Last Chance, Mr. Oblivious" posts tomorrow. It will be a miracle if I get 25 votes in time, but I mostly do contests/events for the extra views the stories get. My event/contest stories easily get 10X the number of views as things I just post randomly.

And yeah, what's with the uno-bombers? Are those from writers just getting competitive, fans trying to boost their favorites, or just people who think they paid good money for them?

 

[MegaTank]

Looks like the last wave of stories is up now, unless any got rebuffed in screening. I think I've done pretty well for myself this time.

Good luck and good work to all.

Well, the list has stabilised, I think, and we have an impressive list of prank stories.

68 tales all told, 22 categories (proving that humor infests all) from 57 different authors, eight contributing two or more.

EC is the most common category with 8

6 in Lesbian, IT and Non-con

5 in Ex/Voyeur

4 in Gay male

3 in Toys/Masturbation, SciFi, Romance, LW, Grope Sex, BDSM, Humor (the nerve).

2 in First time, Illustrated, Interracial

1 each in Anal, Fetish, Mature, Mind-control, Non human and Novels

I was going to post this on April first, but thought better of it for reasons perhaps obvious.

I trust these are all stories one would not attempt on the home front, no lessons, etc.

cheers all

 

[Djmac1031]

Good luck all.

While my entry is sitting at a respectable 40K views and 709 "votes," I don't see it "winning" with a 4.1 rating.

 

[Duleigh]

Both of my entries are "in the red" but neither scored high enough for a contest win. I truly doubt that a sweep of epic proportions could help either.

Here's to the winners whom ever they may be.

 

[MediocreAuthor]

Yeah, I started off in the top 10 when it first posted, now I'm in the mid-20's.

No miracle sweep is changing that. Lol

 

[KeithD]

Unless you're playing the formula of having six or more Lit pages in your story, you're not talking about placing in the themed contests here to begin with.

 

[MegaTank]

Just hit 100 votes. Mostly I'm hoping there are enough bad votes that I can get into hot after the sweep.

 

[Voboy]

My scores remain epically low, compared to the rest of my output. I still find it a bit puzzling, but only a bit: this contest has never inspired my best stuff.

 

[alohadave]

My entry jumped way up today, maybe it'll break 4.0. Either a sweep went through or I got a bunch of new ratings.

I'll need to check my stats.

I lost two votes and my rating didn't change at all

I lost 4 votes, and went up 0.01

Lmao. I guess I really did get what I earned.

But HEY, I'm over 4.5, and that's all I was looking for anyway.
Over the past 3 days, I slowly went from 4.48 up to 4.50. Now I'm at 4.51.
I can live with that.

Your story was a lot of fun. And if my stats on my first foray into non-con are anything to go by, you're killing it with views and favorites. I don't know if NC is typically this low view but I'm just hoping to reach 10k eventually.

 

[Duleigh]

I lost one vote on each story and gained 0.01 on each
I could have sworn that my "Fan club" was more active than that.

Thank you. I know that NC isn't popular with some readers, and I also know that my writing isn't... (we'll be nice and say "aggressive" ) enough for some NC fans.

That said, NC is a strange genre which derives excitement out of something that is horrible irl, so I expect my stories to seem polarizing.

I wonder if my problem was I got too close to consent.

 

[MediocreAuthor]

It's certainly possible.

I really like the "Wait... Noo... Yes..." of NC/R, but some people just seem to like the "No."

I mean, if you read some of the comments (and private feedback) for Fucky Friday, some people wanted to see Delilah really ruin Anthony's life or vice versa.

That wasn't my intention at all.

He deserved a little payback! Just a little.

 

[MediocreAuthor]

He deserved a little payback! Just a little.

ABSOLUTELY!

But the ideas people had were insane. For example this is one anonymous commenter's ideas:

"Couple ideas; 1. one she had stopped taking her birth control pills and will let him go though a hole Pregnancy And Birthing. 2. She not planning on ever swapping back, so she turns her in to a cum sucking slut slave and rents her as a slave Prostitute for Income. 3. She get her nipples and clothes hood Pierced Big gold rings, and then her male get his nipples pierced too and a Prince Albert (PA) piercing also. 4. She knos it's only a Temporary swamp so she gets a High security Titanium chastity cage put on his cock and hides the key. 5. has a BBC come over and have him watch his male ass fuck while video recording it for future blackmail when they swap back."

Fucking hell! I specifically mention that Delilah doesn't even wanna see Anthony arrested. Lol I wasn't planning for her to ruin his life.

I'm just starting to write the final scene of my entry for this year. Not so much of a "prank" as a surprise, but I think it works. And it Catches up with Grant and Isabelle from my Valentine's story, 3 years later, so that's fun too!

Good to know! I thought because the rules say stand alone story you couldn’t have a continuation. I have already thought of a continuation for my submission from last year’s summer contest. If that’s allowed I’m excited to do that!
