The Official Authors' Hangout Literotica 25th Anniversary Challenge Support Thread

a story about a 'medical' breakthrough for robots with erectile dysfunction

"Rise of the Machines".

Any attempt to use fermium would come to grief. It's a transuranic, with no stable isotopes, so it would decay at once.

Apparently 257Fm has a half-life of 100 days. "For an erection lasting more than three months, consult your physician physicist."

That's half-life. At any given time, within a sample of fermium, atoms are decaying. Not something a metallurgist would want to work with. Guess I should stop overthinking this now.

So... has to include 25 or anniversary. Maybe if you made it broader. I feel it's too constrained...

A 25th anniversary get together for Lit authors. So many stories come to mind.

No, it says nothing like that. The suggested themes are Literotica, anniversaries, the number 25

Okay, in that case I shall submit chapter 25, which has a one-year anniversary in it and also some erotica. Do I get bonus points for doing all 3?

I got my first one done, just a simple essay on what LitE has meant to me over the years.

At the level of pure CHALLENGE, and introducing other characters 18+ yo, the 25th Classic Animated Disney movie is "The Black Cauldron" (somehow Tolkienesque but we can't say it out loud) (and to some extent the basis of Harry Potter, but...).
I realize it's too late to suggest, but maybe someone really talented could pick up the gauntlet and feel 'provoked'.

No.

A prominent character in Prydain is an oracular pig, and bestiality is a no-no here.

That is way too short of a notice to participate, particularly as it conflicts so closely with the Holidays contest.

I can't grasp what the plot themes could be for this exercise. Neither a story praising Literotica's 25 years nor seasoned writers helping new writers seem to have wheels as a story theme.

 

[Voboy]

A bunch of "25" or "anniversary" themed things suggest themselves to me, but sadly, none of them interest me enough to write about them.

ALREADY GOT MINE LINED UP

sorry, I didn't want to go all Courier font, after the hoo-haa in the other thread on readability on mobile.

I am working on a story, and so far it includes one of the character's 25th birthday party and a hotel celebrating their 25th anniversary since their grand opening. Is that enough to meet the criteria of the challenge, I wonder? Because they are both settings / scenery rather than highly pivotal plot points. Do I need to make the theme a more central part of the story?

Personally, I think that's fine. It's not a competition, just a challenge.

AOL dial-up

it started offering dialup internet in 93, so it's on it's 30, though the company is older than that.

Still new at this. For a contest, stories can be submitted ahead of time, to give Laurel a chance to review them, and then they are posted on 'opening day'. Do challenges work in the same way? Are stories posted on 'opening day' and throughout the challenge dates, or are they held until the challenge ending date?
