Contests That Would Be REALLY Hard to Write For

[carlieplum]

Since the idea of having some new contest topics--switching out Earth Day, for example--I was thinking of "Nearly Impossible to Write for Contest Topic Ideas"

My top three suggestions:

Mujahideen Victory Day--April 28 (Afghanistan)
Yom Kippur--Fall (Jewish)
Father's Day (if you didn't allow any entries in Incest)

On the other hand:
Virgin of All Angels Day--2 August (Costa Rica) is a shoe-in. The stories practically write themselves, right?

Your thoughts?

 

[Cruel2BKind]

Funerals?

Bar/bat mitzvahs?

Day of the dead?




On a slightly related note to the bar mitzvahs...

I couldn't see any tougher contest holiday to write for here than Children's Day.

I don't see the problem of writing for Father's Day. Just off the top of my head: widower is moping around. He's found someone special (can even put a sex scene here) but he thinks his grown children will have a conniption fit if he gets involved again. He decides they're the most important to his life, so he, regretfully, tells lady friend they can't see each other again. On Father's Day, his children present him said lady friend, naked, with a bow around her neck, and reclining on a platter. A mature Romance. All good in forgiving categories.

You can write children's day, but they have to be about your 18+ adult children.

Unless the heading was "Humour, non-erotic"

 

[carlieplum]

Funerals and bar/bat mitzvahs would be easy, I think.

Secretary's Day, piece of cake.

Flag Day seems pretty non-erotic on the surface, but I could come up with a few ideas.

Anniversary of the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha celebrated by watering the Bodhi tree (May 5 in Burma) seems like it would be tough.

Anything with the word martyr in it. Probably not a good choice.

I found this site interesting. They list bizarre and wacky holidays such as:

Feb. 9 Toothache Day

March 3 If Pets Had Thumbs Day

April 15 Rubber Eraser Day

July 4 Sidewalk Egg Frying Day

Nov. 2 Look for Circles Day

I'm not sure they would be hard to write stories around, but they might fall into the humor category instead of erotica.

Ooh, I'm totally adopting Look for Circles Day...

 

[lovecraft68]

I know its an event rather than a a holiday, but The special Olympics could be quite challenging.

 

[EdwardMidweston]

And for those who really want a challenge:

National Toothache Day (Feb 9)
National Organ Donor Day (Feb 14)
or the red hot
International Dog-Biscuit Appreciation Day (Feb 23)

Cancer Awareness could be a trifle tricky.

Cancer Awareness could be a trifle tricky.

I remember a good one on Lit a few years back about a couple starting a poly relationship with a woman who'd had a mastectomy due to breast cancer.

World Aids Day (Dec 1).

we can write stories spreading awareness on the subject, maybe write elaborately about the prevention part and how to use a CONDOM!!

 

[Saxon_Hart]

I'm pretty sure Ash Wednesday's contest would have a bunch of stories about priests molesting suddenly 18 year old choir boys.

Okay this may or may not sound odd, but I have never read a single Earth Day submission story.

What in the blue hell do they write about?

Okay this may or may not sound odd, but I have never read a single Earth Day submission story.

What in the blue hell do they write about?

The sexual life of lichens, mostly.

 

[ScouriesWorld]

they write about...

trees... and more

trees... and more

trees... and more

trees... and more

trees ... and more

and then, at the endd of the contest, the QUEEN awards first place to the "least read" and "least voted on" story entered...

And then we move on to the Nude Day Contest ... a really exciting one ...​

I have written a few.

Burial: Earth to Earth; Pond-Cleaning (as jeanne_d_artois); Recycling; Hedgehogs; Saving Energy; Bird Watching/Protection; and don't give doughnuts to elephants...

If you're curious, why don't you read some? I've entered for years, always looking for a new angle. One year I did an accelerated spin through the dawn of mankind ("Beginning of Time"), which has gone on to sell and review well as an e-book. Last year was a humor stab at what happens in the water upstream environmentally from a gay man's dude ranch in the Rockies. This year's will be trying to make uranium mining and the resistance to it sexy, mysterious, and environmentally pointed. Story's already researched; just not written yet. Earth Day can be fun to write if you put some serious thought into it. I admit that a slapdash effort to connect to the theme for the contest can also be painful to read, but the ratings don't seem to support creative adherence to theme much of the time.

Oh well. I have two and neither have anything to do with conservation. One is about the outdoors (Natural Tease) in general and the other is about an interesting Earth Day contest (Gone to the Dogs). This year, if I have time, I'm thinking...tentacle sex.

Save the Tentacles!

Not quite.

National Organ Donation Day would be AWESOME! All entries would have to have some swarmy guy volunteering to "donate" his "organ."

Oh you're funny! Or peoples having sex with trees, on trees, under trees, near trees, while defending trees. Same goes for grass and bushes too.
