The Official Authors' Hangout Winter Holidays 2025 Support Thread

I think I am going to submit two here. I finished a draft of one of them today and I will let it sit and decide if it is something I really want to publish. Like The Great Cupcake Caper, it started as a joke that I am turning into a story, but T/I instead of Humor. A place even more foreign to me.

The second one will be more my typical romance-y kind of thing.
 
Thank you @ChloeTzang for starting this thread.

I have a Milf tails installment that will fit

I also have a bro/sis story that I really like, but I doubt will play well here, sis is a stripper so that means other men have seen her naked and she's not pure as the driven snow, so the real menz will take offense to it. Too bad, good story lot of conflict, but not everything works here

Might solve a mystery, or rewrite history
Milf Tales! Woo-oo!
Everyday we're out there making
Milf Tales! Woo-oo!
Tales of being very bad, some
Milf Tales!

D-d-d danger lurks behind you
There's a stranger out to find you
What to do, just grab on to some...

Milf Tales! Woo-oo!
Everyday they're out there fucking
Milf Tales! Woo-oo!
Tales of sucking, very naughty
Milf Tales! Woo-oo!

With pony tails and tight whale tails, just,
Milf Tales! Woo-oo!

Sorry, I didn't have to bring this to the world. But it was running in my mind and now it will be in yours.

Good news is I think that's pretty good.
Bad news is I also tell bad dad jokes and love puns so there's always that.
 
This is only the second contest since I started writing that I'm just not sure I've got anything for. I'm still brainstorming, but I can't come up with anything I really want to write.
 
Santa gives vibrators to all the good girls and strap-ons to the bad girls.
Most of my work straddles the line between romance and erotic couplings, so if that's a pitch, it might be a little outside my wheelhouse, but I'm going to think about it now lol.
 
What are people's thoughts on doing different versions of already established concepts and/or properties?

Because I have a concept for something about The Grinch *maniacal laughter 😂
I think the parody rule would protect anything written here.
And even if not, a cease and desist would just take any offending material down. It’s not like we could be sued for the money we earn publishing here.
 
Now thinking of expanding it to maybe 30,000 words from the current 20,000 🤷‍♀️

I’ve got a Letters story already written, and I’m partway through a Taboo/ Incest story. Novels and Novellas is the only category left that I haven’t written for this year, and I’m most “afraid” of it because I’ve never written anything that long…
 
Is November 11th the first day that you can submit a story for the contest or the first day that they will be published?
First day they will be published.

You could probably submit now, if you had a story ready.

And if you could convince yourself that you wouldn’t look at it on the 10th and decide to make changes…
 
I have the basics of a story in mind. Trying to figure out some details but I think I’ll have something for this.
 
This is going to be my first contest. Came up with my idea this morning and started putting notes together throughout the day as they came to me. Probably won't be able to get started until next week but then it'll be my main focus before submissions open

go for it. Make the stretch. You may find a whole new audience.
 
I wasn't planning to enter anything this year, I'm kind of Christmased out. (I believe I"ve written six Christmas stories) But I have an idea that I like, if I can get it done in time.
I hope you do submit it. As the rules state, "winter" is not limited to Christmas.
 
Yesterday I was pretty sure I was going to sit this one out. Today, I have a whole outline prepped for a story that came to me while I ate breakfast. Now I have to write it and be happy with the way it turns out. Fingers crossed.
 
I was going to re-purpose my GeekPride2025 story since it is set over Christmas. It’s gone off the rails though, so I’m taking it back to its original purpose for GP26.
I have a story about an asexual girl from a family with a very high sex drive. She turns to the only people she can trust to see if she can “flip the switch”. When that doesn’t work she gets the best Christmas gift of all, understanding and acceptance.
Includes a Christmas trip to NY.
 
I have one story completed, Winter Loves Red. I have a second in consideration as it is out for edits, both for the contest but with huge trepidation.

I know there are several threads but hell, I can’t get a stroy posted for the last twenty days, what’s to say the Christmas story’s will post on time. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The system glitch seems to be getting worse.

But I will consider the second shou,d it be back in time.
