My eleventh story in the Transsexual/Cross Dresser category is Cross Dresser Flashing for Nude Day. I like this story because the category always allows me to develop my main character.

Mine is going well and has taken on a life of its own, quite literally. (No visible paranormal elements within the story, but turns out it is, nonetheless.) I'm following where it leads. I thought about the origin of the day and how it is a way to celebrate and embrace the human body. I went ahead with that in mind. It will fall under the "Romance" category. It's a bit more serious than my other works and I'm emotionally invested in it. Up to almost 12,000 words. Pretty good for not being sure whether I was going to enter or not. I hope everyone else's are going well.

I have two set, and might do a third. I don't normally do a lot of entries, but for some reason, my brain just keeps putting them out.

C’mon! That my friend is British nit picking at its best (and worst!). Surely a royal person of your stature and reputation can do better than that…​

No, unfortunately it wasn’t the “key phrase” there. Read the LITEROTICA rule again – slowly this time. And carefully. Please note the and/or in the rule.​

Have fun with the nude day contest. I guess some people will write about anything. I mean, I never even heard of nude day, it sounds like a bunch of made up bs by some pervert with a fax machine and some Greenpeace literature.

But hey, this is not to put down the people who will write about it, or already wrote about Earth Day. I'm sure there are some good stories among them. But there are at least a few who either don't find it fun or avoid it altogether.

Why don't we theme a contest around Memorial Day and Labor Day instead?

Hmm, now there's a couple of catchy themes that most of us can write nothing about.

Let's see, for Memorial Day I could write about dead heroes having sex before leaving for the battlefield to be killed by a foreign enemy in a foreign land or I could write about a grieving widow or widower having sex as comfort, after losing her husband or his wife. Oh, yeah, those are exciting stories to write, instead of Nude Day stories.

Now, a Labor Day story is a real thrilling story to write. On the one lousy day we all get off from work, I could write about work. I could write about labor unions and the sex they have with their sexy secretaries behind closed doors. Oh, I know, with either theme I could write about a parade that ends with...group sex. Wow!

C'mon, seriously, what's wrong with the Nude Day theme? Even if you have a bad body and are not comfortable exposing yourself in public, make up a character with a good body. These stories are fictional, after all.

Thus far, I have 22 stories in 20 categories. I dare say, even though I'm wicked prolific, I'd have an easier time writing Nude Day stories than writing Memorial or Labor Day stories.

Admittedly, however, I'd love to write a story about the Indy 500 drivers and their hot wives or girlfriends. Have any of you noticed how frigging homely race car drivers are as a group, even the beloved (yuck) Danica Patrick? She's a dog.

Conversely, have any of you noticed how frigging hot race car drivers wives and girlfriends are? Tall, blonde, and built, oh, my God. Seriously, I'd love to watch the women run around the track naked rather than watching the men race in their cars.

Hmm, I think I just thought of another Nude Day story. Thanks for the inspiration wet_special.

What's wrong with the Nude Day theme? Nudity in and of itself falls short of erotic. And it's also limiting as a topic. So, as a theme, it falls flat and requires a push over the top to achieve a particularly good erotica story. (Although being particularly good and erotic don't seem to be requirements for a Lit. theme story contest win.)

As a long time nudist let me say that nudity may fall short of sexual but never of erotic. Sexual is physical and erotic is mental.

And it's also limiting as a topic.

Nude day is a day for people who have never tried nude to give it a try. What is limiting about that? Nude day is a national Holiday in New Zealand. You have a whole country to play with. Just two quick examples. There are many more if you put your mind to it.

(Although being particularly good and erotic don't seem to be requirements for a Lit. theme story contest win.)

This says more about someones attitude toward this theme and all Lit contests than anything else said.

"Here! Here! I agree with all you've written.

Any form of nudity, semi-nudity, a suggestion of nudity is erotic. Isn't that what this site is, erotic literature, Literotica? It's not about sex. Otherwise, Laurel would have named the cite Litersexica (lol).

Already having written 22 Nude Day stories for the Nude Day contest, I dare say, anyone who can't write a creative story about Nude Day, shouldn't be writing or reading on this site (lol).

Well, that's certainly true. It says a lot about my comparative regard for the art of writing and for what a quality-based writing contest really is.

You'd probably be one who thought that tonight the best dance performers are in the finals of "Dancing with the Stars" and the best musical performers are in the finals of "American Idol"--that Souries's thumb-exericising approach to contest results is legitimate.

For amateur writers this is the best available. There are better contests out there but the average amateur writer is out in the cold before they even start. Here they can start, learn and build confidence. So it's not perfect but it as good as can be done with a site that doesn't make everyone register and own up to each and every vote they make.

As for your second paragraph, it's about as stupid an assumption and series of statements as it sounds. You know it and i know it. Sorry but I'm not biting on stupidity today.

As for the "stupid" paragraph, the only difference between the voting systems of contests here and the voting systems for "Dancing with the Stars" and "American Idol" is that the two TV shows include some semblance of judges making the voting at least nominally about quality--which is absent here in any form of check or winnowing down.

You may not want to do "stupid" today, which is fine, but you obviously want to do "fight." I'll not bite on this. This is an old discussion. I'm happy with making the point and moving on.

It probably won't matter for long anyway. Freddie has done in the survivor contest, which has gone "dead" out of being too tired to deal with him, and unless something was posted about last year's annual contest while I was on vacation last week, Freddie and Scouries together have killed that as well with their silly games. Now Freddie is working on making the theme contests self-defeating with his flood of "stories," with Scouries gnawing at the edges. So, the contests may be piddling out on their own.

I can live with that. It's self-delusional to think these are contests anyway. But wait, we're just pretending here that these are really contests, and I thought you weren't going to be playing "stupid" today.

They may be delusional/pretend contests to you but to most people here they are fun and a way to get some practice writing to a theme. If you don't like the contests then sorry about that but it's your problem. Like i said, they are not perfect but they are all we have.

And there is nothing stupid about that. Now bitching about something you can do nothing about....

I'm here to write stories, Sr71plt not to win contests. I don't bother you or anyone on this site but you and others feel the need to snipe at me for writing stories.

Isn't that what this site is, a story board? Even Laurel posted that there is no limit to the number of stories any one writer can enter in a contest.

Your constant and unprovoked personal attacks on me smacks of jealousy. I'm not sorry that I'm a better and more prolific writer than you are. Maybe if you paid your dues and wrote stories, instead of vomiting your bad attitude and misery all over this site to anyone and everyone who crosses your path, you may actually write a story worth reading.

Have you given thought to taking a creative writing class?

Good luck to you.

Ummm, you only post stories to contests, don't you? Makes one sort of wonder what you're talking about in this post?

(But not for long; it's not really worth the effort to keep track of your games.)

 

[sr71plt]

Guess your Nude Day story will be about a grouch.

(Probably a self-delusional one to boot.)

I've never really had a grouch character. Mine are more happy and fun loving. Maybe I should explore the other side of the coin. Thanks for the idea.

No one is self delusional here. We all understand that the contests are the way they are. You on the other hand seem to think you can change it. Keep trying or maybe you will have better luck with windmills. In either case, good luck.

Sure you all understand that.

Interesting that you know what I think. I'm just happy to see them all grind to a halt. This isn't the way people improve their writing. It's the way they fool themselves.

This is the fake world of "let's pretend" contests brought on by the "phone in as many votes as you can for yourself and your friends in an hour" phenomenon introduced by "American Idol. (Although the Lit. contest adds the fun dynamic of letting you zap the competition, necessitating deep sweeps. Which, of course, brings out the best in everyone.) I don't feel the need to change it--doesn't mean I don't feel the urge to point out the self-delusion and stupidity (since you like that word) of it.

It does, of course, give Scouries and Freddie such a nice platform to play their "let's pretend we're great writers" games.

You seem to be so upset when faced with that reality. As you say, that's your problem. But you'll spit at me again, won't you? So, that will be fun.

 

[SuperHeroRalph]

I don't pretend that I'm a great writer, Sr71plt. If I were a great writer, I wouldn't be writing for free here, that's for sure.

Yet, what I am is a better writer than I was last year, the year before that, and the year before that.

I do agree with you that the contests are nothing more than popularity contests and have nothing to do with writing talent, creative ability, and telling a good story.

Now, on the other hand, just because you are obviously a miserable man, you can't pee on my parade. I'm having too much fun. Writing is my passion. I love writing my stories. The best part for me is creating them, developing the characters, and adding to them every day.

I only enter my stories in contests because contest stories receive more reads.

I figure this is the best writing time of my life, being able to write whatever I want, whenever I want to write it. I'm free from a publisher dictating what I write and can't write.

So, until Laurel tells me not to write here anymore, I'll write here some more. Okay?

Get professional help, Sr71plt, before you hurt someone or hurt yourself.

Take care and God bless you. I'll say a prayer for your miserable soul.

 

[wet_special]

It's easy to argue for or against what holiday you like. I was just saying that to many, Nude day is a joke, and any attempt by others to celebrate it around them could well be met with hostility. I mean, let's face it, Nude day is deeply unpopular. And aside from our public education camps, Earth day is deeply unpopular as well.

Memorial day doesn't have to involve a battlefield, but it can be a story of a homecoming, or a night of debauchery in a foreign port. Eh? Think it would be fun for a soldier to read about that, maybe? Getting to know some Hawaiian girl or see a wild luau? (sp) I definitely take inspiration from ideas like that.

As for Labor day, well I just so happened to write a story not long ago that makes mention of a specific union and the people involved are ostensibly all union members, albeit sexy ones. I wasn't even trying to think of a story for Labor day, but the fact is, Labor, well, it's everywhere, roughly 8% of the workforce is unionized. You denigrate them and stereotype them? What's with that?

If we want to make contests but there's just a dearth of summer holidays, god forbid we use the 4th of July, but how bout a contest about.. what college kids do over the summer break? A summer fling contest? Boating tales?

 

[wet_special]

And by the way Sr71plt, every topic -- sorry, EVERY TOPIC falls short. Topics in and of themselves are merely vessels, the writer must push to create characters that come alive (as opposed to the cardboard sort). They must use erotic and arousing diction, to set a pace and mood, sometimes a moment calls for a bit of humor. All or most of these things must be handled in a deliberate fashion to make a particularly good story.

Tx and the rest, if you want to summon your skills and apply them to an unpopular holiday, more power to you. I've said what I wanted to say about these contests.
