Hi everyone,
After receiving Laurel’s approval for this (thanks a million, Laurel), I’m stepping up to organize another themed writing event for later this year that I hope many of you will enjoy writing for.
As many of you may know, I’ve actually been to Australia a couple of times, I’ve got cousins in Adelaide and it’s a country I love. The people, the landscape, the climate, that amazing accent, slang to die for, great food, some of the best wine in the world, some of the loudest drunks I’ve ever heard, totally sick jokes, totally tasty kangaroo steaks (sorry Skippy ‘ol buddy), ice-cold beer (the way it should be), a relaxed lifestyle, a couple of the most livable cities in the world. What’s not to like? Well, except for the snakes and the spiders and the crocs. Gulp!
I’ve always liked Australian authors, books and films as well. The Man from Snowy River. Gallipoli. Crocodile Dundee. Muriel’s Wedding. Picnic at Hanging Rock. Seven Little Australians. The Harp in the South. The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith. We of the Never Never. The Thornbirds. Voss. Cloudstreet. Jasper Jones. Puberty Blues. Follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence. A Town Like Alice. There’s a gazillion more. Not to mention Aussie musicians and bands.
But screw literature. We’re all here together on Literotica to write and read erotica. Preferably outstandingly hot erotica. And so, with a “Go Live” date of November 6th, 2018 (Melbourne Cup Day in Australia), here we go with the "In a Sunburned Country – Erotic Tales in an Australian Setting” Writing Event on Literotica.
Something to get your blood racing, your heart pounding, your appetite for things-Australian whetted (and don’t blame me if you end up wanting to visit the sunburnt country, it’s not my fault it’s an amazing place to visit – and my commission from Tourism Australia is already banked, thank you).
So, without further ado, are you interested in writing a story set in Australia? I’ll be contacting a number of authors who I know have written stories in an Australian setting or who are in fact actually Australian coz there’s a good few Aussie’s here on LIT but this isn’t a “by invitation only” event. This is for any author on Literotica who would like to step up to the wicket and “give it a go, mate.”
It’s not a competition. There’s no prizes. This is for the sheer joy of writing and you’re all invited to the party. I’m aiming to get as many writers on Literotica as I can to write a story for this event. Doesn’t matter if you’re great, not great or your writing just totally sucks. Whatever. All welcome. Just do it, mate! Give it a go! Write! As long as it’s set in Australia, we’re good!
Category? Whatever you like. Story? Whatever you’re interested in as long as the setting is Australian. Sex with marsupial aliens? Outback Cocky’s? Romance? Humor? Sweet American-Chinese girls and Seductive Australian Surfers? Sydney Gay Pride Week? Cricket? (Okay, that’s a game that stumps me, fair suck of the sav, mate). You go for it, sport. Go ahead. Write it.
Our “Go Live” Date is Tuesday November 6th 2018. Melbourne Cup Day. The Melbourne Cup is held on the first Tuesday in November and for those who’ve never heard of it, well, it’s one of the most famous horse races in the world.
Date for submissions is from Monday 29 October to Monday 5 November, 2018 – that’s four months away. Plenty of time for you all to come up with a good story in an Australian setting. So get cracking! Rattle those dags!
Administration Type Things (No Rules Here, Mate. Fair dinkum!)
1) Open to all authors to submit stories in any category as long as it’s an Australian setting.
2) Submissions for consideration should be a "single shot". That is, no serial or chapter submissions for the purposes of this particular effort.
3) It’d make it easier and simpler for Laurel and me if you all saved your stories and submitted them between Monday 29 October to Monday 5 November, 2018, with a drop dead date of Monday 5 November. You can in fact submit beforehand if you want but it’d be easier if you saved it for that one week window before the event.
4) Please include the following note in the "Notes to Admin" field on the submission field: " In a Sunburned Country event." If you don’t include this, it’s not getting onto the Event Page coz it won’t be identifiable.
5) You should also include a story tag that says, "In a Sunburned Country Story."
6) All normal rules posted by Literotica.com apply.
On the day of, we'll create a "story page" with links to all the participating tales, which will be published en masse on Melbourne Cup Day! (Tuesday November 6, 2018).
I’m afraid I can’t offer any help with editing, but if you have any questions about the event, please post them on the “In a Sunburned Country” Event Thread in the Authors Hangout.
Thank you all for participating, and I’m looking forward to a totally outstandingly bonza event.
If you do decide you’d like to participate, please post here, along with a tentative title for your story – I’ll do updates summarizing participating authors and their proposed title at regular intervals between now and late October. And I know there’s a lot of author’s here on Literotica who don’t visit the Authors Hangout so I’ll be reaching out to them as well – and you’re all welcome to do the same. In fact, I’d appreciate it if you would.
Laurel will be posting an official announcement on Monday 9 July or thereabouts.

"In a Sunburned Country” – Erotic Tales in an Australian Setting
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!
