Hello, Survivorphiles, and welcome to the 2009 Survivor Literotica Contest. We hope this will be an enjoyable year-long challenge for all of you, regardless of final score. Survivor is above all a great opportunity for authors to challenge themselves and stretch their own limits, encouraging them into writing territory where they wouldn't normally venture.
This year, there will be several changes to the rules. Keep an eye out for them when the Rules & Registration thread is posted (which will be soon.)
Some rules and principles are as in previous years. Submissions made to the Novels and Novellas category must be 7500 words or more. The use of images in the production of which you were not directly involved, either by creating or by being portrayed in them, will make submissions in the Illustrated and Illustrated Poetry categories ineligible for points. All audio stories must be 750 words or more to be eligible for Survivor, and the accompanying text must be an accurate transcript of the submitted audio.
Every year, there are concerns about multichapter stories and about the quality of some submissions. Due to this, there has been a change in the rules considering multi-part stories. As far as quality of submissions go, once again we must remind all contestants that the only quality control in place is Laurel, at the moment of approval of the submissions. If you read a story that cannot be understood, if it doesn't make sense on its own, or if it doesn't correspond, on its own, to the minimum that can be expected for the category it is placed in, please report the story. If you think that any story you read in Literotica is substandard, please report the story. Let Laurel know about it. That's the only way a quality control can be implemented.
Please remember that this thread is for Survivor related discussion. All non-Survivor related discussions/posts will be moved here.
