I mean, it's $150, which is nice, but geez; the payout seems a little low for leaving your courtesy at the door.
My only problem with the contests now is ..... the topics are always northern hemisphere centric (you try writing "traditional" snowy Christmas stuff when you're sitting through the third heat wave of an Oz summer) and Halloween bores me to tears. And drop bears ain't sexy. Sharp claws, though.
Ohhhh, sexy drop bears? Maybe not. But tanned ripped sexy aussie guys surfing in budgie smugglers when a cute american girl heads south for some Xmas sun and fun?
There's a story there. Utes, budgie smugglers, tinnies, riot packs, sinking the old pork sword.... xmas with santa in the sun! Got to give that one a whirl, mate! remind me next Xmas.
Chloe, a little bit of knowledge could get you into big trouble You're learning fast!
Don't forget Wolf Creek, the movie, is loosely based on a couple of real events. The perpetrators, fortunately, were caught and are doing life, one of them with 28 years non parole, the other seven consecutive life sentences with 18 years non parole. It ain't all beer and skittles. We've got some real charmers here!
Oh, I know about the charmers. I was reading up on Chopper Read a while ago, based one of my characters in "Chinese Takeout" on him. And a book on the Bandido's in Australia...
It is kind of a radio-play.
The aim is to make the story look like a radio-reporting, with two voices. There is nothing else - no narrative description of the surroundings, no introduction of the reporters, no interviews. The story starts by one reporter, welcoming the spectators and listeners, and it ends by "...back to the studio!"
Benjamin does most of the talking, describing what goes on in the air, but sometimes he requests additional information from Jean Jacques. They rarely use single sentences - mainly talk for whole paragraphs or longer, so the text blocks between the asterisks are quite large.
See if you can find "Stone" - an Oz cult movie made in 1974, about bikie gangs and an under cover cop in and around Sydney - pretty impressive for its time. Made with the assistance of the Hells Angels.
If it breaks a literotica rule such as underage then you can't use it. If it breaks a nude day story rule then it might still be entered. I went against type a couple of years ago and decided to write a Valentine's story about a divorce and a Nude day story with no nudity but they fit their categories and did fine. If the story is good and original I wouldn't worry.

We have a huge tradition of ballads here starting with AB(Banjo) Patterson who wrote Waltzing Matilda, The Man From Ironbark, The Man from Snowy River, The Geebung Polo Club, Mulga Bill's Bicycle and a few others. People still write poems/ ballads in this style. It is popular. A ballad is a story written in the style of a poem. It is more difficult than prose. There are competitions for ballads. One of the bush poets is Murray Hartin. There are many others
I have an old book of Banjo Patterson's that includes The Man from Snowy River. I browsed thru a used book shop in Adelaide last year and asked the guy if he had any quintessentially Australian books and that was one of them. He did write memorably. I picked up a couple more books by Ernestine Hill - one of them was "The Great Australian Lonliness" about the remote parts of Australia's.
Thank you.
The only problem with my entry was that it was a poem, a ballad.

The contests on Lit preclude poems/ ballads which is a pity because the presentation of them can be enormous fun, funny and they are often very memorable.
Back at the time she was talking about we had a couple of groups either trying to disrupt the contests to the point that they would be stopped or gaming the system. Both groups are gone now so it really doesn't apply at this point.
Nude Day express - here I come.
Cool!
A follow on question. Does the story have to include an actual Nude Day or a Nude Day event? Or just getting down to nudity without a formal Nude Day in the story. That's the bit I'm not clear about.

I hope not.
My take is that a character's nudity ought to be a significant plot point. That's what I'm doing anyway, and if I'm wrong the readers will presumably tell me so.
