There is only about a two weeks to go to the start of the Halloween Contest and ogg wanted this thread started now for those who wish to be well prepared.
As before, this thread is to encourage authors to write and enter, to support them when the muses fly away, to sympathize when trolls attack, and to shamelessly beg for votes.
For anyone who hasn't entered a themed Literotica /A.I.R. contest before:
The advantages are that once you enter, your entry and all your writing gets more attention, votes, feedback and PCs than it would otherwise get. You also get support from members of the Author's Hangout.
The disadvantages are that you will also attract unwelcome attention from trolls and unenlightened critics. The sweeps of duplicated and illegal votes can cause heartbreak. You will probably curse the marking systems and fail to understand how they could possibly have done that to you. It can be a bumpy ride.
I recommend that you pay close attention to the advice some of the greats drop in and give. Especially enlightening are the views and opinions of writers who are TOP TEN “Most Favorited” or those who are members of the 1000+ VOTE CLUB and/or 100+ COMMENT CLUB. It’s these authors whose works have stood the test of time.
Please ignore the outrageous unsubstantiated claims of the moaners, wailers and gnashers of teeth that regularly occur in this thread over the contest and voting systems and instead concentrate on the benefits of writing contest entries. Please use the ignore function to remove those people who irritate you most from this or any thread.
Please do not enter stories in any of the following categories – they’ve been excluded from this contest : Non Human, Sci-Fi, Non Erotic, BDSM, Gay and Romance.
If you really want your writing to improve, critics will be a factor. Entering a themed Literotica/A.I.R. contest is one of the easier ways to get noticed.
If in doubt, go for it. You have nothing to lose but your virginity, and if you haven't lost it yet, what are you doing here?
