Nude Day 2025 Contest Thread

[Actingup]

Story's feeling in great shape after a fun interactive experience with two super intimacy coordinators (editors) who generously gave me heaps of their time and picked a few flaws in my female POV writing. Just a little bit of tinkering now and its done.

You probably felt a little under a magnifying glass there, tag-teamed by beta readers

More like being the lucky one in a literary threesome

Hmmm I'm struggling to make sure its not just a 'nude' for the sake of it story!

I tossed one that wasnt coming out well and am writing a new one (most of the way done). It is much more melancholy than the cheerful little plot bunny hopping by suggested. But I like it right now

That's good. Just my opinion, but I think a lot of Nude Day stories are written too much to the theme rather than working as stories. I'm sure there are Lit readers who are excited just by the thought of people getting nude, but I reckon lots want to be engaged with real feelings too.

It does work into the theme pretty well I think as well.

Voboy - check the Survivor immunities bingo card for plot bunnies:

Also, once in college in a northern clime I was crossing the green early one late fall morning and saw footsteps of dead grass crossing from the fraternities to the dorms. The completely mundane explanation for what happened is that someone walked across the grass during the night when it was frozen, breaking the grass. Then, when the sun came up, the broken and crushed grass started to turn black. But what if that wasn’t really the cause of the blackened footsteps?

Done! 13k+ words and a great seed for a series if I want to go in that direction. It's been ages since I wrote a 'romantasy' and I'm planning an 8 novel series, so this was a good warm-up. Maybe I can work bits of this story into the series. But now - back to work! I've finally reached that magic point where we should all be at with our stories:
Time To Polish!
This thing needs a bunch of polishing up...

Done! 13k+ words ...... It's been ages since I wrote a 'romantasy'

I did one of those in 4,000

I did one of those in 4,000

The last 'romantacy' I did was 413,886 words, eight episodes averaging 51k words with an average score of 4.91

I'm working on a project to remove the story from Terry Pratchett's discworld (it's a fan fic) and get each chapter up to 85k words so they can be sold as novels.

I wasn't planning on this year's event, but inspiration hit. Lots of nudity in inappropriate places is on the agenda. We'll see if we can't get it polished in time.

My story has just been "published" with go-live of 14th June.

Especially excited as it is my first competition entry.

Same.

Mad King Ulrich's Day has been submitted, set the countdown clock to T minus 7 Days.

Ditto.

And it wasn't an hour ago.


No chance of winning, just for funsies.

One week

Is 3 part ok? And do I need to tag it as nude day? Or just put it in the comment bit?

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Is 3 part ok?

Stories must be stand alone, not part of a series or chaptered story.

You have to merge those parts into one submission. They can still be delineated internally using separators, headers, etc.

 

[Sapphira_Vex]

Thank you - gonna be one long story! Eek!

 

[CiaoSteve]

So, a few tweaks and I'm in. It took less than 30 minutes from submission to having the story sitting there in NEW status waiting for 14th. Those Literotica gods were truly smiling on me. Whether my readers will is still to be seen.

Well if we're going to get anal about it even if the chapter is written to operate as a standalone, I'll go slither back under my rock.

As someone who has done quite a few of these support threads, I agree with @Five_Inch_Heels - they have to be stand alone stories. Multiple stories from the same 'universe' are one thing, but the contest demands one entire story, beginning, climax (or multiple climaxes) and end. Don't feel bad, this question pops up a lot, I've even had this question during the 750 word story event

However - if well done, with big words and fancy stuff like that, long stories score fairly high. (The low voters get bored and drop out early) My longest story posted on Lit is over 129,000 words (Geek pride 2025)
