I am posting this thread to officially kick off the "Tales of Leinyere” Story Event. Laurel will be creating the Event Page shortly - and submissions can be sent in between January 1st and January 16th, with a Saturday January 21st Go Live Date. That's SIX WHOLE MONTHS AWAY. That’s plenty of time!
What (or where) is Leinyere?
“Tales of Leinyere” is a collection of stories set in the same fantasy universe, and any and all accompanying artwork. Any artist who wants to participate can create any artwork that fits the site's guidelines: from regal portraits and elaborate landscapes to rough sketches. The world is being built as the writers write, and you can give it shape. We will use this forum thread to suggest facts, locations, people, and events that cross over from story to story, complete with a map worthy of the first page in a dusty paperback and an official timeline of the continent of Leinyere.
What Leinyere is like, the various kingdoms, cities, and landscape, as well as its inhabitants, cultures, and sexual mores, has been and will continue to be illuminated by the authors themselves as they worldbuild within their own stories, just doing our best not to contradict each other. But you, the artists, have the talent to bring these stories and characters to life! What do they look like? What do they look like when they’re fucking? What do they look like doing anything else? The kingdoms, the people, the landscape are all waiting for you to put pen to paper or stylus to tablet. What will you create?
Want Inspiration? Want to read the exciting Tales of Leinyere that have already been written? Here is a link to last year’s stories:
2022 Tales of Leinyere
Here is a map of our lovely continent, named by a combination of two pre-existing fantasy languages to coin a word that means “world of sexual desire”. Of course, that etymology only means anything to us, and not to Leinyere’s inhabitants:
Map of Leinyere
As you can see, national boundaries, as well as locations of cities, ruins, dragon dens, and other landmarks are filling in, but large swathes of the map are still literarily untamed. That’s because you, the writers of these stories, are inventing these locations as you write your stories. Please communicate with me as you do and I will continue to fill in this map with details as time goes on. In fact, if your story would benefit from literally changing the landscape of the continent, please talk to me about it, because this map is editable.
And here is our timeline of the history of this world:
Timeline of Leinyere's History
I will also maintain a Notes Doc with background information about Leinyere, which can be found here:
Leinyere - Notes
This contest is also open to authors, as well, and there is a corresponding thread in the Authors’ Hangout here on the forum to discuss those. Click this link to find it:
Authors’ Thread
Audio stories are also more than welcome!
Feel free to collaborate, in either thread, on stories inspired by visual art and artwork inspired by stories.
This thread is to SUPPORT and ENCOURAGE artists to enter stories in the 2023 "Tales of Leinyere" Story Event. If you have questions, post them here and someone will answer. It might be me, it might be someone else here but don't be shy. Ask.
If you're a first time artist, or this is the first time you're putting a story into an "Event" on Literotica, hey, don't get stressed about it. You don't have to have created anything before to create for this event. This isn’t a “by invitation only” event. This is not a competition. There are no scores and no prizes.
We’re just drawing and painting for fun with a bunch of other artists doing the same thing. If you're not sure about what to do, how to submit your story, or anything at all in fact, just ask here. I know I’ve been there and there are a bunch of very helpful people here to pass on their experience.
So, without further ado, are you interested in creating a piece for the “Tales of Leinyere” Literotica Story Event? Get started! First timers and veteran Literoticans alike are all invited and encouraged to participate. Post the name of your piece here so we can all see it and I'll keep a running list going in this thread.
The Rules are simple:
That’s it.
So, what are we waiting for?! Let's get started!
Here's a list of the planned stories so far:
"One Divine Evening" by Nouh_Bdee
“That Poor Gnome Is Captured By Orcs” by Nouh_Bdee
“That Poor Gnome Arrives in Giltan’s Port” by Nouh_Bdee
If you've committed a piece for this event and I haven't added you to this list, please let me know!

First timers and veteran Literoticans alike are all invited and encouraged to participate. Post the name of your piece here so we can all see it and I'll keep a running list going in this thread.
The Rules are simple:
- The art must be connected to a story must be set on the fictional continent of Leinyere (including nearby islands), or some other magical realm accessible only from Leinyere.
- Try not to contradict any of the history or natural laws of this world, as described in this thread and any linked resources. If differences are irreconcilable, let’s use a “dibs” system, although I doubt that will be necessary.
- Please communicate, in this thread (or, if you don’t want to for any reason, PM me about it so I can see if it changes the world in a way that needs to be included somewhere), any world-building details you create in your story: Kingdom Boundaries and Descriptions, Prominent Historical Figures, Natural Events, etc.
- Any subject, any category, any length you like.
- Author must include the phrase "Tales of Leinyere" in the "Notes" field of the submission. We recommend that you COPY & PASTE it into the NOTES field to avoid typos.
- Please use “Leinyere” as a story tag.
- All entries to be submitted by 11:59pm, Monday January 16th - with a Go Live Date of Saturday January 21st. You can submit any time between January 1st and January 16th. All stories will be posted on Saturday January 21st.
That’s it.
