The Official Author's Hangout 2015 Summer Lovin' Contest Support Thread

I have an idea, and 600+ words so far. It's a little niche though, so niche that only about 0.001% of the Lit readership will get it. And it's going in 'Humor & Satire', which means about 5 votes.:cool:
Actually, it may be 'Celebrities' - I'm not totally sure. Hmmm.
 
I've almost reached the climax of my story. About 20 more pages to go.

Yayyy!

Go for it! (Let me know about it asap, especially if I might be able to review it :rose:)

Wouldn't a sofa, bed, even the floor be safer? Especially at my age. ;)
Yeah but they would raise everything else including the dead. :devil:

<snerkity snerk> OK, you can have me anywhere, you flattering silvertongued dirty old man, you.
(I'm sure those are not just idle rumours I hear about your tongue :devil:)
 
You can have me on a bike, if you like ;)



Really? Pictures of me in hotpants don't usually raise a frown. ;)

A roll on the floor laughing, maybe! :D

:nana::cathappy::nana:
I have actually managed to sit down this morning and write out my story! I am so happy.
:cathappy:

the 16 thing might prove awkward! :D

I know, dahlink ;) The only 16 year olds in my published stories are whiskies. :)

I have the picture really. Honest, I do! :) Sadly as geronimo says, I can't post it here because I was only 16 at the time. Instead here is a picture of some red shorts clad rugby player butts which will give you a good idea of what I used to do in my playing days - I was that one right in the middle whose butt you can't see. (The hooker ;) )

This is for you, redzinger!

Btw, what's the current wait time from submission to publishing please for non-contest stuff?
 
Two days max. My last story went up in one.

Had to scramble a bit to do all my link updates because I wasn't expecting it.
 
I've got one for you too.

Tell me, what do you see, reflected in the Cup?:D

I love @Ruggerperv and @hairyrucker1 - definitely worth a follow.

:D

Oooh, I will try those out :)

Gosh, I am a bit at a loss. I have never managed to get a story together in time for the start of a competition! Sometimes I have just made it by the very last closing minute, LOL. When the competition (eventually) starts, do you put it in on the first day? Or do you put it in a couple of days beforehand with the note so Laurel can get it all read and set up ready to post on the day?

:cathappy:
(Sorry, I'm still a little smug that I got the thing written AT ALL.)
 
Folks do realize, don't they, that this contest doesn't open up for another three and a half weeks?
 
Hello, Honey :)

Well done, that girl!

'Lo Sugar :)

Am I the first person to get my story finished? :cathappy: I think I deserve that Webb-Ellis trophy with additional bum cheeks for that. Especially considering that I did it while building an IKEA flatpack sofabed! :eek:

Genuine question:
So what happens on the day? I should post my story a couple of days beforehand, with the competition message in Notes, so that Laurel can line it up? or I should post it on that day?

Preppin' up for the summer lovin', I guess.

I think you can submit a day before. I haven't heard anyone submitting it before a couple of days.

Maybe you're the first. I finished mine in early October 2014. Yours done before that?

I have heard of submitting a few days before, but that was an audio story - they always take a lot longer to upload. Just a day before for text then?

Bum :mad: You get the Webb-Ellis trophy with bum. Use it wisely! LOL.

Audio stories are a pain to post. I think you should send the audio file whenever you post your story. Send a PM to her that you've posted an audio along with it. That way, she'll be on the lookout for it.
 
Well, my original plan was for a short barely-over-the-750-limit pisstake of a certain song.

Currently 1500 words and counting. And the shagging hasn't even begun. :rolleyes:

You can submit the story several days early if you like. When you submit is entirely up to you. ;) :devil:

I always post a few days before, just to be safe. Doesn't hurt. I've never had any issues.
 
My third story has stalled out. I still have the arc in my head but there is too much distraction to get the typing done. :rolleyes:
 
The above is a fake contest.

Now back to the Real contest discussion thread.
