The Once and Future Fucked She-Warrior

It is. A dead warrior woman. I love the story, but it's definitely not been a huge success, either in views or ratings. Perhaps I should have called it "Ghost Remembers Her Sex Life".

Nailed! I just realized I didn't vote on it. I should go do that.

Thanks! And for pushing the view counter up to 999 as well.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I read it as well, but don't remember when. I also don't know if I posted a comment or voted! HUM! I've caught oldenhimers from Daddy!

Based upon the advice @KeithD gave me (not even sure he will remember it this way), I am taking my 750 story, and writing an extended version, including issues I couldn't put in 750 words, and also what happened next. I am quite excited, even though the 750 word one has not even been published yet.

 

[StillStunned]

She-Wolf will go live tomorrow.

Read, rated and commented!

 

[Rob_Royale]

Before the month ends tomorrow, I'd just like to thank Duleigh for running this and everyone who's participated. I really enjoy this challenge both as a reader and a writer.

Just got published. In LW, and getting hammered just like I thought it would.

Yeah, the LW crowd has a slight majority of those who HATE sharing.

In my story "Do We Need to Talk?" I wrote about the husband recognizing such a problem of deployments with his first wife when he was in the military.

Yours was a realistic story of the trials the military personnel face during deployments. I gave it a 5.

I think I have been to the Dragon Club. When I was at Lejeune, I spent some time at Bragg with the 82nd

Mmm, hope to meet a wolf like that next trail run.

 

[Trionyx]

I wonder how many total submissions there will be under this challenge.

 

[MillieDynamite]

Me too!

I wonder how many total submissions there will be under this challenge.

I forgot the #!

 

[Trionyx]

Friendly wager: I bet 407.
If we take Em out, 307.

That's me done for another 750-word year - https://www.literotica.com/s/a-midsummer-celebration

I’d say it was a fun challenge. I see literotica account posted a complete list of all the stories, will there be a follow up publication on who won, or is this something you should check yourself by sorting stories per tag?

Not that I expect anything. In my story I tried to fit a complete arsehole in 750 words, and one commenter revealed that he hated the story because of how much of an arsehole my hero is. So, I’ll take that as a win and say “task failed successfully”.

There’s no winners, this is a writer’s exercise and not a competition.

I was hoping I’d get a few more views once the list comes out, but the list is four Lit pages long so now I lost that hope. Anyway, thanks for @Duleigh for setting the thread up, this was fun this year too.

Similar thing here. People looove their easy unicorn. I gave the opposite. None of the feedback that I got was a clear like and the score is one of the very lowest in the entire event so yea, I guess that I wrote her well.

 

[OffNSFW]

The grand total for me is six stories this year. In order of publication:

"The Old Man and the Pool"
"Hapless Charlie"
"Pro Gamer Moves"
"The Cursed Woman"
"I Would Love You Again"
"Mr. Wonderful"

I ended up participating on a whim this year. Once you're on a roll, it's hard to stop.

The last time I cranked out a bunch of these during 750 word month was 2022. They were:

"Restaurant Redacted"
"Threesome Person"
"Sound Sleepers"
"Strange Luck at the Pool Hall"
"The Pearl Diver"
"Carefully, I Hurt You"

I guess I'm always good for six!

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

I laughed but a rough quick count shows Trionyx is close: 435 or so. It’s hard to count scrolling on a phone so I may be off a couple or so. Good event. Congratulations and thanks to all who participated.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

I've got a slow day at work today, so I'm working on a few metrics...

389 stories.

Congrats
@MelissaBaby for the current top rated story, The Clamdigger at 4.9. Great job as always.
@silkstockingslover for current most viewed story, Grandma's Toy Surprise with 78,559. Always setting the bar so high.

--Shel


EDIT: Well, I got these numbers from a tag search. unfortunately, not all stories are tagged, so your results may vary.
Having clarified that, the kudos for @MelissaBaby and @silkstockingslover still stand.

 

[MyBareTorso]

Wow, 400-plus entries this year! I think that proves this is a very entertaining - and surprisingly controversial and heated - exercise for the writers here. I know some question the 750 Word Project's worth to the readers...but why can't we just do something for US for a change? Thanks to Duleigh for running it, and putting himself in the firing line! I posted six stories...five more than I'd initially planned! Congrats to all who participated.

@MelissaBaby for the current top rated story, The Clamdigger at 4.9. Great job as always.

Wow. @MelissaBaby won an erotica contest with a non-erotic story.

Okay, yes, it's not a contest and the event doesn't specify erotic content but you all know what I mean.

Nice job, Melissa.

Now, if only I can figure out how to win Powerball without buying a ticket.
