Official Holiday Story Contest

[deliciously_naughty]

For everyone who doesn't read both this board and the authors forum...Laurel has announced an offical "winter holidays" contest. See her sticky'd thread in that forum for technical rules etc.


Ok...anyone have good ideas?

I think I may use a winter solstice idea since I'm pagan and all I can think of regarding christmas is random trite stories involving santa and mistaken identity.

That's all I can come up with now since the nyquil is kicking in

 

[Chicklet]

hmm...winter solstice...i'm afraid i don't have any ideas at the moment but let me think on it for a while.

[sirhugs]

Alas, I had no good ideas when I started my " Christmas is Cumming " thread, and now I see that title was used last year.

What to do, what to do......

 

[Chicklet]

maybe *too* cliche

about a woman who has been waiting for her husband to come home for christmas. He travels an awful lot for his job, or maybe because of work the live apart, but for the holiday season they're going to be able to get together for a week.

woman spends a ton of time working on what to do to make it special; planning special dinners, special activities, special...well obviously some exciting sex.

keep it straight and the guy comes home to this royal treatment, or twist it. maybe the guy at the very last moment says he can't come after all, he has to stay wherever he is. woman is distraught, doesn't know what to do. she's been looking forward to this for so long. she misses him. sad, she goes out alone to dinner or a bar or something.

enter the night in shining armor, i suppose.

a truly unkind twist would be his having come home to tell her he has met another woman elsewhere, and is ending the marriage.

then, if you want, enter a White Knight ( in a red suit? noooo- i'm too silly now)

 

[Chicklet]

yeah, or even that he hasn't found another woman, just has decided that they should split up. their marriage isn't working, he says. sorry and so long.

am I a sap to want a hapy ending rebound for her?

 

[Chicklet]

no

it's the holidays - a happy ending is almost guaranteed

Clarification Q

Would "Winter Holiday" always have a Christmas-alike connotation in USA-English? I'm breeding on an idea, but it neither features Santa Claus, nor reindeer...

winter holiday as laurel calls it, would include any holiday by any religion that relates to the winter months. this would include the pagan solstice, xmas, chanuakah (sp), ramadan, whatever.

So...my solstice idea...now that I'm a little more awake...

What if you have a girl who's come home for xmas (a week early) and her parents guilt her into going to church even though she is now pagan. So she's sitting in church, bored, feeling cranky (why do I let my parents guilt me into this) and she's looking around (without being obvious) when she sees a cute guy about her age also sporting a small pentacle. They do the significant looks thing and after church she "forgets" her purse as a reason to go back. He's waiting and they meet. There's a strong attraction and they make plans to celebrate the solstice together (that night). She slips out of her parents house, and drives over to his hotel. They keep the holiday, and decide to act on the physical attraction as well. Flash forward to the next week and again she's in the church keeping an eye out for him, when she sees someone who looks just like him standing behind the priest, also dressed in a priests robes. She'll later find out it's his twin, but before or after she seduces him up in the choir loft?

My winter solstice idea....

It involves a virgin and a carpenter....in a barn.

Ummmm

Maybe this one has been done?

Keep the ideas rolling folks. I am trying to come up with something original and am sadly failing, as you can see.

Seems to be a wave of Pagans here. I, too, am going to *try* to write a story about Yule. I'm even considering adding twins (but no incest) to it.

lol..I know what you mean BB...I've met a bunch of new pagans or at least new to me pagans here on the boards

I just can't imagine a story that has more to do with the actual Yule legend that isn't a rip off the scene in Mists of Avalon where the young arthur kills the deer as a symbol of the old being killed by the new and then mating with morgana in her guise as goddess. I need to think about this more, but I have to write academic stuff first...although the erotica is more interesting to me these days

MissT's blasphemous idea

I always wondered about those shepherds....

Re: MissT's blasphemous idea

And maybe the wise men were bringing, not gifts, but payment for services rendered?

Joseph was protesting his virgin wife's virginity in order to pay the taxes?

 

[deliciously_naughty]

and we were only led to think that mary and mary magdalene were actually 2 different women?

 

[MissTaken]

For the contest?

Would it be in bad taste to spoof a classic christmas tale?

Any thoughts ?



No, I don't think I have the cojones to truly spoof the Nativity!

 

[sirhugs]

I agree parodying the bible story is risky, besides which , Peanuts already did that.

Hmmm....too bad the Peanuts characters are underage....

 

[deliciously_naughty]

parodying the bible....hmm, but it would certainly get a lot of attention The bible's a story...and I say all stories are up for grabs.

I don't think it's in poor taste to spoof anything...people need to lighten up about such things

 

[Chicklet]

how many people reading erotica are going to be bible clutching hypocrites?

Exactly. Not everyone is a Christian. Not everyone believes the same things. And, without Christian faith, the Bible is nothing more than a book of stories.

Hell, if ever I manage to finish my "stories in progress" I'll have my erotic take of Eden. (But, then again, I'm not sure I want to put effort into an Extreme story that will take a year to post after it's "accepted".)

 

[Guest]

You'd be surprised. I've witnessed Bible thumpers here. And, of course, there's always the hypocrites who think "my kink is okay but yours is not".

Very very true...hang out on the GB long enough and you'll be convinced that the majority of people here are uber christian right wingers. (or at least they shout loud enough to drown everyone else out long enough). However, if negative feedback is the biggest issue, one could always create a secondary screen name and post it under that. Personally, If I ever get around to it, I'd love to kick Samson and Delilah up a notch or two. And although it may have been done before Salome has a lot of potential.

But to go back to the Xmas thing...
There are something like 20 years of Jesus' life missing from the bible. I'm sure he got a nice "birthday" present from some mary madaglene esque woman at some point in there. Although the bible says mary was a virgin it never says (I'm almost 100% positive here) that Jesus was.
