Winter Holiday 2024 Contest Support and Seasonal Story Discussion Thread

[AlexFourways]

Just stupidly started on "The Waitresses Christmas Rappin’" based on the song of the same name. Sort of the story behind the song.
Don't know if I will make it in time!
I'll try and get terms right - like efficency apartment, not a bed sit. I've even told Word it's USA English! So no coloured lights!

Okay, this thread discussion has officially gone completely astray from the Winter Holiday Contest... But isn't that what internet discussion threads are supposed to do??

I propose a story about the very first Annual Literotica Convention (Lit Con). It can involve either established fictional Literotica story characters (as @AlexFourways outlined) or Literotica authors or... a weird world where both realities collide (authors and characters coexist). The convention happens at a hotel and the participants are all staying in various rooms for the weekend. And then, of course, shenanigans abound!

So, who's going to write this?

That sounds like a good alternative to Alex's original proposal and a workable one at that. And instead of leaving it to one author only to write it, why not several adventures happening at the same time, written by different authors? Someone comes up with a description of where the convention is happening and those interested use it as the starting point to develop their stories. Anybody with a plot in mind involving some of the characters could just drop a line saying which characters he/she will be using in his story so that the next author does not use the same characters for his/her story (unless ubiquitous ability is allowed, but that can become awkward).
But, as you remarked, we are well outside the initial purpose of this thread, so maybe somebody has to start a new thread on that and start sharing ideas.
I would personally be delighted to read whatever you come up with. I'm not good enough to write such a story myself lacking the knowledge and abilities for such a project but I do think it is possible.

Don't know about a story about LitCon, but someone did a brilliant job a while back of writing satire and dropping in about six thousand different references to various Lit authors. IF anyone can remember the story, please post a link. I'd love to revisit the infamy.

If someone does do this, I insist on being involved. And I am not above bullying my way in if needed!!

No disrespect intended, but something about your comment struck me as funny.
Nothing says Winter Holiday to me more than access to an asshole on Chrismas.
Peace on Earth, Goodwill Toward Men.

Lol no disrespect felt. Hell, I'd take access to an asshole on Labor Day

The link given by NotWise cf Love Your Readers: Categories isn't quite what I recall, but I would agree that Incest is right at the top. Certainly if I was writing a story that had historical reference to non-consent I would include that in the warning (ok I have done 3 Nadine and The Beast*) in a story that otherwise doesn't fit, because it is clearly a BDSM one.
I am writing a story involving Androids** - So Non Human - but anal and in one part BDSM are involved, so again a warnings as appropriate.
So better to loose a potential reader early, or have a reader that carries on, but is forewarned - so fore armed, than 'ambush' them and upset them with a negative effect on ratings and comments.
ALSO I wouldn't rely on TAGS to provide the warning (but would include it) as they are used predominantly to find stories, and AFAIK can't be used to filter out stories.
YMMV
*Originally a Stand Alone story that later had other ideas!
**Concived as a Stand Alone story but (nothing published yet) has four 12k parts and I don't think it will only be four parts!

This is definitely something to consider and study up on. While I do want to write my stories the way I envision, I also want them to do as well as possible. While it's true that you can't please everyone, I would like to avoid mistakes like that in the future, so again, thank you for your thoughts.

Speaking of stories, my second entry, "Elves to Themselves" which is my three female stooges story, goes live tomorrow! This is a goofy Holiday comedy with a nice foursome at the end, so check it out if you want cartoonish Three Stooges inspired silliness.

 

[Bramblethorn]

Really? From what I've heard from some authors, their Literotica presence is somewhat of a guarded secret. Interesting.

Search the forum archives for "Litogether" and you'll find mention of it.

You can also Google "litogether site:Literotica.com"

Some of those old threads read like the general board now.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Uh oh. Only ten days to finish. 65k words and lots more to write. I better keep at it! LOL.

The Christmas Mass of the Blessed Magdalene shall bless you with it's length.....and it's a very religious experience!

Ave María, grátia pléna,
Dóminus técum;
Benedícta tu in muliéribus,
et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Iésus.
Sáncta María, Sáncta María, María,
óra pro nóbis, nóbis peccatóribus,
nunc, et in hóra, in hóra mórtis nóstrae.
Amen, Amen

And of course my heroine's dress for Christmas Mass...but in red

Well, my story was sent back to me with the notice about it being possibly AI-generated. Since I wrote it the same way that I wrote my previous 43 submissions, that must mean that AI is now at least as good at writing stories as I am. I re-submitted it with a note to Laurel and hope that solves the issue.

That happened to me once. I sent it back with a note like you did. It went through no problem the second time.

It took me forever to figure out how to do italics in the word processing software that I use. I wouldn't know how to even begin with something as high-tech as AI! In fact, I'm quite sure that AI would use better grammar, sentence structure, and bigger words than me.

I'm usually asleep at this time but insomnia has reared it's ugly head tonight. So, I'm earlier than usual for this one: I am pleased to announce that my second entry, "Elves to Themselves" is now live!

It’s Christmas Eve, the elves of Santa’s workshop are scrambling to get every toy ready for delivery. However, their progress is hindered by the incompetence of Molly, Lindsay, and Shirley, the three dumbest elves in the North Pole! Luckily for them, a highly skilled (and the prettiest) elf is assigned to give them a helping hand. This is the beginning of an eventful evening for them all which culminates with the discovery that the hyper attractive elf has a “big secret” under “her” skirt, how will the three moronic elves react?

I don't normally share images of my characters with story announcements, but I can't pass this one up. It's the special guest elf wearing an outfit that very closely matches the ones described in the story. Be sure to check it out, comments and feedback are welcome! If you want to know more about this character, check out the main story in my signature, he's become my mascot at this point. Happy reading, enjoy this goofy Holiday comedy!

Looks like a special effort to get stories out the door mid-week despite Thanksgiving etc. Up to 95.

I loved it!

 

[DukeofPaducah]

I’m confused. Might this be considered poetry?

 

[AlexFourways]

I’m confused. Might this be considered poetry?

Dracula Flow 3: I did a lyric search and whilst it might be considered poetry by some people, I expect some sort of meter or rhyme or reason in my poetry and reading it I couldn't see any - but it might all be in the delivery. So Sorry, it's a no from me.

 

[AlexFourways]

So, doing this Chrismas Rappin' thing... So a question.
Are you allowed to quote the lyrics in full? I know you can't put a link, but I suppose the curious can easily do a Google (other seach engines are avaliable) for them if curious.

[SouthernCrossfire]

I'm a small part in Actingup's graph jump for today. My entry, "A Fresh Start at Christmas," is live.

When a middle-aged man moves closer to his aging parents, the death of an old friend leads to reunions with old friends and rebuilding relationships and more as Christmas approaches. It's a sweet romance with some special holiday fun along the way.

 

[FreyaGersemi]

Alright. I know that my Winter Holiday Contest story is in my signature, but I have been remiss in actually promoting it on this thread. So, here goes:

Here Cums Santa's Cock

This is another one of my "Alternate Freya-verse" stories where the Freya, Alex, Cynthia, and Katie characters exist, but outside of my ongoing series (currently at 250K words or something). In this story, Katie realizes that Cynthia is suffering from cock withdrawal and devises a crazy plan to fix that for her. Over the course of the week leading up to Christmas, Katie acts as Cynthia's pimp lining up cock after cock after cock. Of course, this allows for many different sexual encounters with many different types of men (and a scene where Katie gets in on some of the "Cynthia Sexuality").

It's 20K+ words, but it's a fast and easy read. You won't need a dictionary to look up descriptors or anything like that. You can just lie back and enjoy the ride. Cynthia certainly does!!

You are simply beyond redemption, Ms Tzang. I’m not nearly the skeptic you are I suspect, but here is my concern. Since the birth of the babe Jesus, the fat’s been in the fire and the cat’s been let out of the bag so to speak. What other Holiday miracles may be in store? We haven’t had any Divine guidance for a while, unless you’re a Latter Day Saint. Then you get updates twice a year.
I’ve taken the opportunity to begin a companion piece to a seldom read classic, Sinners and Saints.
But before that can happen, a scoop shovel awaits. (Heavy sigh)

Ahhhh, I am delving into the Miracle of the Eucharist and Transubstantiation. The theology is fascinating. And just what can be transubstantiated too?

It takes "he possessed me" to a whole new level!!!!

I shall burn for a thousand years for this one. LOL

Took far longer to find this than I care to confess, but it's Girl Cum by @Devinter. Hilarious.

I couldn't remember the author's name. Thanks for finding this, it's such a gem!

 

[Candy_Kane54]

Well, my story was rejected again, despite (or because of) my note explaining how I used Grammarly to edit my story. So, count me out of the Winter Holiday contest this year. I'll have to rewrite it from scratch since it registers as AI-generated.

sorry to hear this. I guess there are enough threads about the AI checks already but this sucks (and not in a good way).
