150 word erotic fiction contest! With prizes!
http://www.tucsonweekly.com/TheRange...iction-contest
This is Tucson's dead-tree alternative weekly news rag. Deadline is Feb. 9. The prizes are gift cards to Fascninations, a regional "intimacy enhancement retailer". If you're not in Arizona or Colorado, you could probably get them to ship your merchandise, or I could pick it up and mail it. There's a store half a mile from my house.

I'm not involved with the contest, just a lowly reader.
My favorite mainstream fiction writer, Stacy Richter, used to work for the Weekly. She has two short story collections out, one on Scribner, the other on a no-name press. |

150 word 'Flash Fiction' is all the rage at the moment.
See this article.
And good luck!

You would have to use three of mine to make 150 words.
I'm thinking of a parody of DurtGurl for my entry. |

I can't describe breakfast in a 150 words I give these people a lot of credit.

What's DurtGurl? Google didn't turn up much.
If anyone needs help authenticating local landmarks, PM me. |

DurtGurl was an AH collaboration.
A sample of poetry:
THE BATCHELOR'S HAND
by The DurtGurl Group
Mister, there ain't nuthin' in this whole land,
As sad as livin' with a batchelor's hand,
But I ain't ashamed, it's part of my life,
My right hand an' me live as man and wife.
Men around here'd rather jump in the lake,
Than so much as give my hand a shake,
Folks poke fun, always pissin' and moanin,'
Sayin' "There goes that pore disciple of Onan."
Got expelled from school, crossed off their list,
Caught me in the boys' room makin' love to my fist,
My left hand's weak, I must confess,
But the right's got muscles like Arnold S.

I added another one. Your turn.
Come on, people! TE and I can't be the only ones to flash this crowd. Grab those trench coats and sparklers and get writing!

I have drafted my first entry to the Tucson Weekly contest. It is exactly 150 words.
It now needs editing and polishing...

I came up with two, but they both suck. If I can un-suck them before the deadline remains to be seen. RL has been a little intense lately.
