Congrats!My winter holiday contest story Snow Fall in Love posted this morning (along with many other event stories.)
It is a very sweet love story. I cannot wait to read the final version!It's a 30K slow burn. No sex what so ever in the first 3/4, then a lot. Very dialog driven. think there's a lot of humor in it as well as tension, but I'll let others judge whether that works or not. I don;t think it's my best story, but I think it's probably my best written story. And I hope one of my better stories.
I can only dream of 600 votes in a few around. My highest number of vote is 257Spectrums went up this morning, and it's currently hovering around 4.57 with ~600 ratings.
This is so ludicrous!There's a trope/subgenre in LW of "Honey, We Need to Talk," wherein the FMC tells her husband (usually) that she's going to cheat on him ahead of time, and it's just going to be this one time and then she'll be faithful, etc. Which, from an RL standpoint, is kind of a ridiculous thing by itself, but then there's a sub-subgenre of this that's "... and I'll sign this contract to prove it."
If someone can pull that off, it would be you!It's a ludicrous premise, like many of the stories on the site. But one of my favorite things is to take a ludicrous premise, look at the structure, and then try to come up with an at least semi-plausible way that they would work, taking into account character motivations, etc. And I'd long wanted to play with how characters in these stories are coded (the morally rigid, highly perceptive husband who's still somehow blindsided by his wife's sudden, seemingly unfeeling turn to the dark side, and what those depictions usually mean in other media), so this seemed like a perfect place for it.
Did you BTB and if not, how did appease the toxicity of the crowd that read that category?
What you and other authors hee on the forum need to understand is BTB is not needed to be successful. What IS needed is a logical conclusion. The response has to fit with normalIf someone can pull that off, it would be you!

Oh it's definitely a BTB story, but NOT in the way most of the authors here would recognize. The MC refused to accept what his cheating wife wanted to levy upon him. He turned the tables. Yes, he tempered what he did, but he burned her.Sort of? It's not a BTB (or at least I don't think so), but it's also not a reconciliation story, although it is, in a... not exactly redemption, but grace? story.
Already read, rated and commented!After 2+ months in pending purgatory, my How To Be An Author on Literotica finally posted. (Thank you @Laurel -- I sent her a note yesterday evening and it was posted this morning)
I had talked about this on a thread of its own two and a half months ago. It is my attempt to answer the multitude of questions that new authors have as they arrive here. Questions and answers were largely gathered from things on the forum.
