Nude Day 2011 Contest Support Thread

[oggbashan]

What is relevant to Nude Day?

My view, and I have no more authority than any other poster on this thread, is that if there is some nudity in the story, then it is relevant to the theme.

If a reader thinks that you have strayed too far from Nude Day, then your story might get a lower vote. That is the only real judgement.

I think that a story could be written about AVOIDING nudity and still be relevant to the theme.

PS. I was slightly worried about starting this thread too early. But 20+ posts in less than 24 hours suggest that I wasn't too early.

PPS. My remarks about trolls and the bumpy ride are intended for newbies to these contests. I expect those who are experienced contestants to pass quickly over my ritual pronouncements.

...would "nudist camp" be "public" enough?

'cause I've got a half-started story that is about such a place. And a contest might actually get me to continue & finish the damn thing.

Or does "lots of people nude but sequestered from the general population" not really count?

*scratches stubble thoughtfully*

*thinks about shaving*

This is definitely OK. If you want proof, my entry from last year took place at a nudist camp, and even scouries didn't complain. I got an AIR Award. So that should be signal enough that it's noncontroversial. I say go for it!

 

[MatthewVett]

Does the theme have to be "life style" nudity like naturists and French beaches? Is sly exhibitionism OK? How about feelings of shame and embarrassment that lead to heightened ecstasy? I mean, does the contest focus on promoting nudism, or is it enough for the plot to center on somebody's exposure - whether he/she has good feelings about it initially or not?

Would a non-consent story about forced nudity (with a he/she secretly likes it vibe) be acceptable?

How about a Brazilian exchange student who lives with a repressed American family. He she thinks nothing of casual nudity around the house. He/she steps into the shower with family members - why waste water? Would that sort of thing be acceptable?

I think all of these would work. I tend to interpret the themes rather widely, though. Even on the contest thread, though, exhibitionism is a stated theme, so you're definitely safe there. And if you write the last one with the Brazilian, let me know. It sounds like a good read...

A.I.R. Nude Day Story Contest

2011 A.I.R. NUDE DAY CONTEST FAQ​

As most of you already know the 2011 LITEROTICA Nude Day Contest is upon us (at least its support thread is!). We in the A.I.R. felt that this would be the perfect time (and place) to advise contestants of the rules of eligibility and the rules of engagement for the A.I.R. contest which runs concurrently.

For those authors who wish to compete in the A.I.R. contest but not the LITEROTICA one please PM me and I’ll send you an application form.

Every story entered in the LITEROTICA contest will be automatically entered in the A.I.R. contest as long as it complies with the rules listed below.

It's spring! The weather's starting to get hot, so the stories in this “Nude Day Story Contest” are bound to be even hotter!

If you'd like to participate in this contest, please read this entire post. If you don't read the whole thing, you may miss out on important rules and your story may not be eligible for the contest!

You can begin submitting on: June 20
The last day day to submit is: July 11 at 11:59EST
Winners will be announced on: July 18

This contest will coexist with the usual monthly contest. Contest stories will also be automatically entered in the monthly contests. The prizes for the winning stories will be the same as those awarded in the monthly contests.

You can discuss this special contest: Ogg's Special Contest Support Thread

These full rule sheet is available from A.I.R. on e-mailed or PM’d request. To those entered in both the A.I.R. contest and the LITEROTICA one of the same name please note the following which highlight the major differences between the two:

- All submissions must be original stories created for this contest theme. We will not accept individual chapters of a larger work submitted separately (even if your name is darkboy. And A.I.R. does not want to hear any whining about their decisions and certainly doesn’t want to hear words like, “serial”, “continuation”, “template”, etc., etc.

- All authors are eligible to win, even if you have won a prize in another theme contest within the last year.

-An author can win only one of the five prizes available in the contest.

- A story has to accrue 100 to 200 votes (depending on category) to be eligible for prizes.

- Contestants are not allowed to vote on their stories or those of other contestants. Any vote cast that contravenes this rule will be removed and the offending party warned. A second offence will lead to immediate disqualification.


-Sci-Fi and Non Erotic stories are not eligible. Human/Non Human sex will be treated as Bestiality and will not be accepted.

-Prizes will be awarded as follows - One for each of the following:

*Highest Rated
**Most Comments
***Most Views
****Most Votes
*****Top Story

As every person with any sense knows, to have a competition that is scored there has to be a means of scoring the entries. This means in this case that every story must have VOTING and COMMENTS turned on. If not the story will be disqualified.

Disqualification means just that – the story is NOT entered in the contest.

-Each contestant is allowed one entry only (including ALTS).

AUTHORS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE 2011 A.I.R. NUDE DAY CONTEST

The following authors have been banned by A.I.R. from competing in this year’s Nude Day Contest due to past transgressions.

darkboy
ralphie
banana boy


The following guidelines also apply:

- As the contest title suggests, your entry must have a clear “nude day” theme. Those stories that fail to meet our minimum theme guidelines will be disqualified.

Important Note: Once your story is submitted, it may take over 72 hours for it to be posted. We strongly suggest that you do not wait till the last day of the contest to submit your story. The sooner you submit, the better chance your story has of accruing the votes necessary to be eligible.


Good luck, and have fun!

Poor scouries, he keeps trying to look so official and comes up short every time, even with the help of his blow up doll secretary alt.

DON"T BE FOOLED BY HIS FAKE CONTEST.

Yes, all you people who have been around a while know this. This is a notice for the new writers who might join our ranks.

There is no such thing as the ASSOCIATION of INDEPENDENT READERS (A.I.R.) except in scouries egotistical lying head, so there can be no A.I.R. Nude Day Story Contest. He steals the stories from the real contest to fill out his fake contest.

Now you know the real reason I am banned from his fake contest. I tell the truth about his lies.

Thank you for you kind indulgence.

 

[MarlowBunny]

And if you write the last one with the Brazilian, let me know. It sounds like a good read...

The following just spewed out of me in a burst. Are there any comments or suggestions. I want the story to be revealed in dialog between Christine and her date:

An Exchange of Values
Culture clash produces erotic revelations

I cut the ignition and coasted in neutral to stop on Christine's semicircular driveway. My father and I completed the most important restorations of the cherry red 1967 Triumph Spitfire over the preceding winter, I wanted to repaint it British racing green, but in the end, we used the money for chrome wire wheels instead. It was a sweet looking ride with the soft top down.

Christine and I dated a couple of years earlier in tenth grade, but somehow I ended up in the friend zone. I gave up hope for romance one evening soon after I got my driver's license. I suggested that we could watch the sun set from her yard. She had other plans, but she countered, "You're welcome to come watch the sun set without me." I realized that she completely missed the point.

Years passed, and I dated other girls. I saw Christine at school and was friendly enough, but we primarily moved in separate social circles. I was excited when she called and invited me to our school's spring dance. I had no idea what changed her attitude, but I reasoned that I couldn't be misinterpreting her interest this time.

Christine's mother opened the front door before I could even knock. She smiled at my trendy pleated slacks and tweedy sports jacket with a narrow tie. It was 1987 and I looked like I walked off the set of a John Hughes movie. I returned her grin when she put her arm around my shoulder to guide me across the threshold.

"It's good to see you again, Rick."

"Thank you Mrs. Spinney. I have missed your family movie nights. I think we watched every Hitchcock movie ever made, didn't we?"

"Almost, I'm sure. We missed you too."

I extended the corsage for her inspection. It was still chilled from the refrigerator.

She dutifully examined it. "I think the lavender tinted daisies will match Christine's dress."

"Oh, good. She didn't give me much guidance."

"Well, my impression is that this whole adventure was a last minute endeavor."

"Is Christine ready?"

"Have a seat. I think she's still putting the final touches on her makeup."

I grabbed the nearest spot on the couch in the front room. The house was a traditional one story. The door opened to a front room and a hall leading to bedrooms. From my perch, I could look over my shoulder across the room to the dining and kitchen areas where Mrs. Spinney retreated, but I was facing the hall. I had a front row seat for the shock.

The first door on the left opened, and out stepped a handsome naked man. Yes, naked! He was six foot three and tanned the color of coffee with cream. I had seen him around school, but we never met. Now, I was seeing a lot more of him. I'm as straight as an arrow, and even I could sense the guy's sex appeal. Let's just say that I hope he was sporting a semi, or I have yet another reason to feel inadequate.

He paused for a moment to glance at me, and then he casually walked away down the hall to disappear in another room. I didn't know what to think. I craned my head to see if Mrs. Spinney noticed the naked guy in her house, but she was busy in the kitchen. What the hell?

I fidgeted on the couch getting increasingly impatient when the first door on the left opened again. Out stepped my date. Her ankle length gown swished, and the fitted bodice revealed just enough cleavage to compel a guy like me to look twice no matter how much I intended to make eye contact first.

She sashayed the ten feet or so to greet me, and I unceremoniously thrust the corsage at her with a straight arm. She smirked a little while she graciously accepted my offer. "Would you like to pin it on me?"

"Um, sure." I stammered.

Mr. and Mrs. Spinney scampered quickly to my side and said, "Wait. Wait. We need a picture."

Christine and I posed against the wall of the front room. I stood behind her and a bit to the side with a hand on each of her hips. I wanted to pull her closer to me so that I could inhale her delicate scent and feel more of her body, but it didn't seem the right time.

"The dance is over at 11:00 isn't it?" Mr. Spinney asked.

"Yes sir."

"I expect you home by 11:30 then. Is that clear?"

"I think we can manage that," I offered.

Just then, we all turned to the sound of a knock at the door. It was opened to reveal Marie, an acquaintance from school. Marie starred in every school theater production and danced ballet as an understudy in the city's professional company. Every guy had at least a bit of a crush on her, and there she stood in a slinky white evening gown. She looked like a hollywood ingénue on the verge of falling for Clark Gable in a 1930s romance. She even had her honey colored hair up in period style. My jaw must have sagged because Christine elbowed be in the stomach.

"Welcome Marie. André should be out shortly. You know it takes him longer to primp than anyone."

Marie laughed and conducted herself into the room with obvious familiarity. "He does a good job though."

I tried to pin the corsage, but Christine's dress was off her shoulders leaving only the bodice as a possible location. My hand shook nervously as I pulled the material away from her breast so the safety pin wouldn't poke. The picture that Mr. Spinney snapped shows a really awkward teen groping his daughter's boob. I maintain that it was an unfortunate camera angle that produced a convincing illusion.

André strutted down the hall to meet his date. His glossy black shoes and formal black suit made him look ten years older than me. It was a full number with vest and everything. He briefly embraced Marie before shouldering past all of us to fetch his corsage from the kitchen refrigerator. We watched his every move.

On his return, he pinned a single red rose bud to a strap while pictures were taken. His suave kiss on the corner of Marie's mouth made me instantly jealous. Marie nearly swooned, but she might have been acting.

Christine and I needed to leave first because my car was blocking Marie's. On the way out the door, Marie winked at me and complemented my look. "Thank's Marie. Will you save me a dance tonight?"

"Sure handsome," she smiled.

I opened the car door for Christine and asked, "Would you like the top up?"

"Will the wind mess my hair? Oh, never mind. Leave it down."

I shrugged and jogged around to my side. The engine purred the way only freshly tuned dual carburetors can. That little car was my wing man. I called him Miles, and he never failed to present me in a good light to the ladies. I touched Christine's hand briefly before Miles launched us on our way. I was very careful not to burn rubber on the driveway.

The drive was slow. "What's the story with André?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did I see him come out of your bathroom right before you?"

"Oh that! André comes from a different culture."

"You have to give me more than that." I caught her eyes while stopped at an intersection.

"He's from Ipanema Brazil. He's staying with us for a year."

She was in there with a naked guy while she prepared for our date. I just couldn't think of any way to express my frustration that her answers weren't anything close to sufficient. It made no sense. Did her parents know? I always considered them conservative and very protective of their daughter. What the hell was going on?

"There has to be a story behind this," I insisted.

"What do you mean?" She was being coy. Her acting was not in the same league with Marie's. I could tell she relished my discomfort.

I like it. Any reason for the year, though? Usually if I set something in the past, I have a reason for the time. I'm just wondering whether a more "conservative" year might work better? I definitely think it has potential, though.

 

[MarlowBunny]

And DAMN, that Andre' could dance!

I like it. Any reason for the year, though? Usually if I set something in the past, I have a reason for the time. I'm just wondering whether a more "conservative" year might work better? I definitely think it has potential, though.

Thank you. The whole story formed almost complete in my mind because it is only a small twist on actual events. I would have written the whole story last night, but it hit me at 3:00 AM I am basically just exaggerating Andre'. I really did know Marie and date Christine. Christine really did have a Brazilian exchange student named Andre. Miles is parked in my father's garage. Even the last names are synonyms for the real last names.

The date: Well, the story is completely autobiographical so far (with the exception of Andre's nudity). The last time I drove to a teenager's house to present a corsage was in 1987. I'm not sure it works the same way any more. In addition, it is very important to the plot that cell phones, digital cameras, and the internet do not exist as we know them. At least, the real events could not have unfolded if cell phones existed.

By the way, it is very unfair to a teenage boy when his girlfriend lives with a rival. In real life, I used to drop Christine home on Friday night with full knowledge that on Saturday morning, she would be sitting in her see-through nighty at the breakfast table with Andre'. The sexual tension in that house was off the charts. And DAMN, that Andre' could dance! I think some of his partners climaxed on the gym floor after witnessing his moves up close.

 

[MarlowBunny]

Any info about Bossa Nova or Samba

My Andre character is going to dace sexy with Marie. He's Brazilian, so I feel confident he will dance Bossa Nova or regular Samba. Unfortunately, I know very little about the dances.

YouTube failed me. All the hits were performances of the song(s) or country line dance - not the Brazilian partner dances.

Does anybody have a link to a sexy dancing video of Bossa Nova or regular Samba? I want to see what the dances look like before I write about them and reveal my ignorance.

FYI other contest results...

I’ve been trying to ignore these monthly results this year. But when I saw today’s announcement I decided to check out what’s been winning. The one good thing about these prizes is at least the PALACE is working to announce them in a more timely manner.

Besides that it just more of the same – chaptered stories from less popular categories somehow become “READER’S CHOICES”. ​

Enchanting the Flower Ch 16 doesn’t seem to be up on the site anymore but earlier chapters that remain are Sci-Fi stories.

Out of the 18 winners all but one were later chapters of stories that had been started earlier. And we all know the reason why.

5 winners came from SCI-FI/NON HUMAN and 3 came from both ROMANCE and GAY. In other words about two thirds of our supposed ‘reader’s choices’ came from these marginal, little read categories.

I suspect this is why we had so many SCI-FI/NH entries in the EARTH DAY contest.

5 winners came from SCI-FI/NON HUMAN and 3 came from both ROMANCE and GAY. In other words about two thirds of our supposed ‘reader’s choices’ came from these marginal, little read categories.

I suspect this is why we had so many SCI-FI/NH entries in the EARTH DAY contest.

Naked aliens for NUDE DAY?​

This has diddly squat to do with the support thread for the nude day thread, Scouries, you are a septic waste.

My Andre character is going to dace sexy with Marie. He's Brazilian, so I feel confident he will dance Bossa Nova or regular Samba. Unfortunately, I know very little about the dances.

YouTube failed me. All the hits were performances of the song(s) or country line dance - not the Brazilian partner dances.

Does anybody have a link to a sexy dancing video of Bossa Nova or regular Samba? I want to see what the dances look like before I write about them and reveal my ignorance.

You could always go to abc.com and watch previous episodes of Dancing with the Stars, or even pull up clips on YouTube. They do quite a few sexy Latin dances, Samba included.

(Really, I'm not obsessed with that show.)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

I'm probably not going to enter this one. I'm going to work on Summer Lovin' though. I'm sure you will all have a lot of fun and I will definitely read the stories and root everyone on. I might get some last minute inspiration, who knows.

DARK: Thanks for posting that explanation from Laurel. I had never read that and it puts things into perspective, for sure.

I’ve been trying to ignore these monthly results this year. But when I saw today’s announcement I decided to check out what’s been winning. The one good thing about these prizes is at least the PALACE is working to announce them in a more timely manner.

Besides that it just more of the same – chaptered stories from less popular categories somehow become “READER’S CHOICES”. ​

Naked aliens for Nude Day! You got it, scouries!

Actually, to really push his buttons, a story should include a romantic tale of two gay vampire aliens.

With nudity, of course.

Well I had already started a Nude Day contest with aliens. This was just the most fun way to announce it.

Too close to the bottom of the page.

I have several things started and several more ideas. We shall see.

 

[LunaEroticaMystica]

So, just as I posted that I didn't think I'd be participating in this contest, a plot bunny began hoppin' around in my head. It might be nice not to break stride. I realized that Summer Lovin' will mark a year's worth of contest entries for me (if I enter Nude Day). I'm up to page 5.

Noooooo! Too much competition.

 

[LunaEroticaMystica]

Haha, MarlowBunny. A year's worth means: a year's worth of themed inspiration, muse cooperation, and complete stories. That feels good after a 5 year dry spell!

 

[Darkniciad]

Yeah, the idea I had more or less sputtered on me. This theme has always been a nightmare for me. I just can't reconcile the actual meaning behind the day, how to avoid my characters getting arrested for public indecency, etc.

I should really be concentrating on getting new chapters of SOTM done and finishing Lowborn, anyway. On top of that, I'd really like to have my summer stories ready before the last week of the contest
