"On the Job" Story Event 2023

[Duleigh]

Hmmm... what's the work place in the military?
The aircraft you were working on?
The hangar the aircraft is parked in?
The base the hangar is sitting on?

Pending a ruling, I'm going to go with Hangar.

They all count as long as you are on duty in uniform.

I'm gonna write a story about a prostitute.

I haven't decided where it's gonna take place (a hotel room, a car, or a back alley)... but no matter where, it'll definitely be "On the Job." Because she'll be on the clock, so to speak.

Hahaha

(I'm mostly kidding, but if I do write this, it'll be a short story, written as a joke... Probably in the Humor/Satire category. I assume that'd be okay)

Funnily enough I was kicking around an idea for a 'day in the life' of a prostitute and putting it in 'non-erotic. An average Wednesday of editing her web profile, dealing with messages from John's messing her around. Having to run out to get more condoms because somehow her 20minuter got through 3. Thinking a client isn't going to turn up and phoning her mum only to be interrupted halfway though. Little to no focus on the actual sex or customers until, maybe, to round it off she had a nice (but not sexy) appointment with a young guy losing his virginity.

Not sure if I'll write it because I'm already burned out on rushing my April Fools story.

 

[alohadave]

I have a story done for this. Now to wait three weeks to post it.

Maybe I'll post it now and write something else for this.

The waiting is killing me

I’m on to my Geek Pride story.

I generally don't participate in these for loads of reasons, but I have a story I've been working on that would fit this to a Tee! Not sure if I can have it done in time or not, but I shall definitely try. Erotic Couplings Category.

Questions, because I am overthinking the shit out of this.

The posting period is between April 16 - April 23 - Does this mean this is when the stories need to be submitted by? If I submit on the 23rd, I don;t see it being published by the 24th. So shouldn't that deadline be a few days earlier?

Final list to be posted on April 24, Monday - So are these all being published at once on this date? Or just a list of them generated?

 

[alohadave]

Post as early as you can. You might get it through posting on the 23rd, or it might not. Laurel gives priority for event/competition stories, but I'd give it a buffer just to be sure.

Personally, I wouldn't post later than the 20th.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Three weeks. I may just get to finish my romance.

I've never had a story that started so easily but didn't want to finish.

They all count as long as you are on duty in uniform.

Thanks, that solves a huge problem.

ARRGH!

I've been in South Florida working on my laptop for the past week and a half, I get back home and half of my OTJ story is missing! It has a long set-up, sex scene, then the final hook and all I had to to was finish the hook. I got home last night, I opened it up this AM to start editing and finish the hook and so much is gone, the whole sex scene and half of the set-up is gone. It's not in my on-line storage, and it's not on my laptop.

I was on some serious anti-biotics which really screwed up my brain but I know I didn't dream that I accomplished that much...

Maybe.

 

[alohadave]

That sucks. I hope you are able to recover it.

If everything goes according to plan, the stories will be posted April 16-23 just like contest stories, then they'll be posted on a list on the April 24th

That's not a problem, I just hate when these things happen.
This and Geek Pride are my favorite challenges

I’m running into structural problems. Taking a break, but I’m hoping to get back to it in time to submit this year.

Edit: NM, came up with a new idea, hamster wheel is spinning. Five Nights With Freddy will have to wait until next year, but a new dumb pun has emerged: In Vitro Veritas!

 

[CuckedbyBBC]

Hello! Great challenge. Question…can the story involve wfh and video conferencing? I have an idea about a woman who doesn’t really know how to operate her video conference and puts on a show for the office while she works from home.

Up to 20k words. I think my main problem is going to be waiting until May to publish it .

Same. The conclusion to my story finally clicked into place and fell out of my head. I'm done with editing and tweaking. Maybe another quick look before submitting...

 

[NoTalentHack]

I’m in the middle of mine now. Hopefully I’ll finish it this weekend or next.

 

[silkstockingslover]

Damn I missed this one. Will have to see if I can chin this out in two weeks.

I finished my On The Job story a while back, 9k words from memory.
