The 'How To' Contest Support Thread
Here are the dates for this contest.
How-To NEW
themes: advice and instruction (must be submitted in the "How-To" category)
starts: May 14
closes: June 6
winners announced: June 12
This thread is for potential contestants to moan about lack of ideas, to support and encourage each other, to complain about trolls and anonymous, and to place your entries for the Author's Hangout Last Place (tm) Contest.
As usual, potential contestants are warned that entering a Literotica Contest can be a rough ride.
The positive side is that you and your work are likely to get more views, more votes, more PCs and more feedback over a longer period than a normal story submission.
The negative side is that some of the attention may be unwelcome and hurtful. By all means moan about unfair comment and low votes but it is part of the process of being a contestant. The contests are the closest that Literotica comes to the rough treatment authors get in the real world. If you are seriously contemplating getting published, rejection letters are likely to hurt more than the slings and arrows directed your way during a Literotica Contest.
Now you have been warned, get your thinking caps on, summon your muse, and write. We should all be good at telling people how to do it because we do it frequently, often without proper protection...
Write, that is.

See, now I misread the title of this thread as:
How to contest a support thread....
Which sounded kinda interesting if pointless.  |
