The 2025 750 Word Story Challenge Support Thread

I have this great Norwegian joke that I want to put into a 750 word story... it's going to be filled with lots of fluff to get past 350 words.
Challenge accepted, even though you didn't actually issue one. I wasn't going to do anything for the challenge this year, but have the perfect joke... Nice long shaggy dog story that just happens to have a sex scene in it.

Submitted; Lucky, Lucky, Lucky Mike.
 
(Man - Feb 1 is going to be tough on readers with that avalanche... Pile on folks!)
I've got 3 queued, 4th ready to go. Two of them are photo prompts and for one I managed to use all 4 photos. Is it cheesy crap? Likely so. But it was fun.

I suspect I'll squeeze out a couple more or so. Whether they are any good or not will be up to the anonymous 1-star bots I suppose.

Managed to put two together, both kinda covering a similar theme, but completely different perspectives! Also be will posting in two new genres for me, so will see how those particular fans take to the works. "Doorway" and "shootin' Fish in a Barrel" sitting waiting in the wings.
 
I have now got four 750 stories up loaded.

2 are the amazing Emily's suggestions. 2 are my own.

Will be interesting to see what happens :)
 
I've seen ya'll queue up stories.

We can submit right now, even though it's not yet February, correct? Can I get my story in the hopper and off to get published now, in the late stages of January?

Correct. As long as you have the Admin Note, it'll be held until at least the first day.
 
Okay, gang!

I sent one story, 750 words on the spot. I had read through the pages here and doing a story as a set up for something bigger. Great idea, gang, thank you.

Maybe I'll sneak in one more before I start thinking about April Fool's Day.
 
OK, can these be related to past stories? What I've written will stand alone but ties into a 750 piece I wrote last year.

Should be fine. This is not an official contest but a challenge. I would recommend, as you mentioned, to make sure it is a standalone story or the voters may otherwise take out their frustrations at the ballot box.
 
Okay, seven 750-word stories, one Valentine's Day Contest entry, and considering one Pink Orchard entry. Now, the Valentine's entry was written sometime back. I did a minor edit for the contest. Same with the Pink Orchard, it needs a little change here and there, and it'll be good to go.
 
It's nice to finish something. I got my first one done, of the planned two 750 word stories for this year. It should surprise no one that it is a young men/older woman story, short but sweet.

Edit - finished a second 750. This will go in non-con I think. Still a young people/older woman story, short but not so sweet.

Going live on the 2nd. Token Valentine's story is live, did the usual get 11 votes and a H, then plummet by 20 votes...

I may be inspired to do another, but I've got a Pink Orchid and an April Fool story to finish, and may end up doing some Traitors or other fanfic for elsewhere...
 
Oh gawd, I forgot about April fools... I've got a WIP stack that's starting to teeter... maybe Summer Fun.

Of course you can.

I've just submitted one, which is in the New list for 1st February. It's a standalone Emma and Bobbie story, and will sit as part of that Series.
 
I'm going to give it a whirl, I don't have a clue what I'll do, but that's never stopped me before!
 
Inspiring to see people being fired up about this. I will give it a go this year. I started on one last year but never finished it. This year Ill go for 2 so that one is fresh from the brain and one is a shape up of old.
 
Someone mentioned that there was an text editor here in the site that counted words. I can't. find it anywhere. Could anyone point me in the right direction?
 
Thank you kindly AlohaDave. I would never have found that function.
I keep a text box available in my draft folder specifically to get word counts. I just have to make sure I don’t hit ‘review and publish’. 😂
