Go to your author dashboard, click "Works" and then the "Pending" tab. You should see tomorrow's date under your GPD story if it's pre-approved. If not, tell Chloe.

Thanks! It's there! I was looking for something like the word "Pre-Approved"

Five minutes to midnight (in Chicago, anyway) -- here's hoping when we all wake up in the morning, that all of our stories have already amassed a pile of five star reviews , great comments, and new followers for everyone!

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

Best wishes, everyone! Hope everyone gets lots of readers, too.

I made sure that my story was short enough to fit on six Lit pages (based on 3,750 words per Lit page). I just woke up and (obsessively) checked to find it stretched to page 7, the top of which says

The End

I almost dread seeing the resulting score and complaints to come! Haha!

I’m going back to bed.

I was worried when at 7.05 it hadn't gone live, but by 7.30 it had.

Obviously I immediately noticed some repeated words and phrases on the first two pages, and scenes I thought were about halfway through are more like 3/4 through (8 pages).
So be it.

Here's the story list.

You can always send in an edited version. I know I will.

But the bottom of page 6 feels enough like a conclusion I don't think you'll have too much trouble.

I let my geek flag fly... 21 pages But at least my 21st page is about half of a Lit page

I'm guessing there'll be plenty of... "oh, 73.6K words... yeah... no."

Mine's 15 pages and about 51k. I hope I can motivate at least a few people to give it a whirl.

High-five to fellow long-tale writer. Not gonna get to it tonight but saved to come back.

High-five to fellow long-tale writer. Not gonna get to it tonight but saved to come back.

I've tried to write a few strokers in my time. Never worked out. They ended up at around 30k to 50k words each. Maybe because I find the events leading up to the boinking much more interesting than the act itself. Also, sex seldom happens in a vacuum, so good world building is a must.

The core idea for "Rotten..." was a visit to a succubus brothel. Simple enough, one would think. Not for me. And before I knew it, I had another long-form epic on my hands.

Here's the story list.

https://www.literotica.com/s/literotica-geek-pride-story-event-2021-story-list

Interesting. This is the first such list I've seen with the stories in alphabetical order; normally they're shuffled each time you open the list.

Well, good luck to all.

Well, good luck to all.

The shuffled lists are the seasonal contests.

The special events are put in alphabetical order.

 

[yowser]

28 Tales, with varied characteristics. Sci-Fi is the dominant category, naturally, with seven entries. But here is the rest of the breakdown, a surprising spread, testament to the extended boundaries of the universe of geekdom:

One each for

Anal, Celebrity, Erotic Horror, Mature, NonCon, Novels

2 Erotic Couplings
2 Incest
3 Non-human
4 First Time
4 Romance

One author (MisterWildCard) has two entries, one a 91k word novel (ye gods)

Good pieces, good readings, impressive efforts. Thanks everyone.

28 Tales

Another one just slipped in. I'll wait for the last tricklers and post an accurate breakdown tomorrow.

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

Chloe, can you please let Laurel know that the link to TarnishedPenny's "Professionals with Benefits" appears to be broken in the list? I've tried it five or six times and keep getting not found through the challenge list but get there successfully through TP's story list. The URL is

Thanks!

May I recommend 'Save World Get Girl' and 'We are Such Stuff' - both really well written. Slowly working through some more stories.

No haters on mine yet (famous last words!)

I’ve been sitting on that novel for five years, and decided it was time to stop trying to “perfect” it and just get it out there for others to enjoy. It’s rough around the edges, but I learned a lot from writing it.

 

[Blind_Justice]

"Black Lotus" is a great read. Flows incredibly well. Only nitpick I have is with use of the Power Nine - no tournament organizer would allow them to be played and for good reason.

But I see why its done the way its done and let it pass

What got me was "TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE ENTIRE POWER NINE?!?"

I totally blanked on the timeframe of the story.

I really enjoyed The Void Bunny. Neat title, cool concept, and emotionally stirring.

That part had me howling with glee. OBVIOUSLY The Jerk(tm) has no concept of value One of my friends spent 3000 Deutschmark on a single Black Lotus in 1995. He sold me his complete Shadowrun book collection to raise money for that single card. That was the moment I swore never to touch MTG. I DID play TSR's Spellfire for a few years, but the cards were peanuts compared to MTG.

Bunch'a speed readers on this board. I managed to read the shortest story on the list over my lunch break. I'll be lucky to manage one a day. Keep the recommendations coming, but spare us slow pokes the spoilers please.

Speed reader? I wish. Only managed to read one and a half thus far (and none were yours - but I'll get to it!). Now to wrap up "Black Lotus".

Loqui, I just got started on "A FAIRY AFFAIR AT A FAIRE", and I have to tell you I'm really digging the "grandma tells a story to the good little boys and girls" vibe you've got going. I'm intrigued to see where this going to go once clothes start coming off.

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

I'm very pleased with the responses so far on mine and have enjoyed the other stories I've read today. Time to head to work now so I'll try to read more of them over the next few days. One thing I noticed is that the average story length is fairly long compared to many challenges or competitions.
