The 2025 750 Word Story Challenge Support Thread

[StillStunned]

It’s a 750 word story. Readers will understand if you put the pubes in the negative space.

I reckon that a specific mention will make all the difference.

 

[StillStunned]

I've decided to turn one of my snippets from the Fairy Tales Writing Exercises into a 750-word story. "The Hardwood Son: A Fairy Tale". Let's see how the I/T crowd reacts.

(The hardest part is working out how to organically mention the mother's pubic hair.)

And it will be published tomorrow:

My last one went up last night: 750 Word Story: More Than They Know

So far, so good.

[StillStunned]

I have written about 5 times.. don’t know what is wrong

I'm feeling quite bad that mine was approved so quickly.

 

[MillieDynamite]

@StillStunned, relax, they've figured out your style is your style. Isn't that better than 21 days of living hell to have it sent back with, "Looks a bit like AI?"

Well, I just got my 7th 750 Word story-ette submitted! I don't know if I can crank one more out before the 28th or not! But, I am rather proud of getting 7 pieces written.

 

[DarkWhispers2U]

Tried working on the three pieces I failed to complete last year for this event. No forward progression. I actually lost words on one instead of gaining. Oh well. Life is too stressful right now. I'm lucky if I get basic chores done and some exercise these days. So, best wishes to you all. I'm proud of you for participating. Maybe next year I'll be back with something to contribute.

 

[Inkent]

Last one, mucho enjoyed participating. Doorway

My second 750 is up. It's an unashamed advert for my own Dark Fairy Tales challenge in September. The readers seem to either love it or hate it. (Even though I did manage to mention that the mother has pubes.)

The Hardwood Son: A Fairy Tale

I thought mother-son stories were supposed to be popular?

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

I published 4 this year:

Domesticated

Naked Before Him

Quick & Dirty

Quick Study

If I can brag a little, all have respectable scores ranging from 4.47 to 4.62 ... .

Bah! Humbug! No bragging! No feeling good about your accomplishments!!

And before someone takes me seriously, congrats. Well done!

If I was actually writing my story and not lurking around here, I could possibly have another one or two ready by tomorrow.

 

[Actingup]

I just want to highlight @dmallord's 750 Word effort 'Donovan Milford's timely departure' It's a poignant kicker of a story, noting that he mentioned in November in his bio that he would be transitioning to home hospice care. All the best mate.

 

[glynndah]

Possibly my last one was submitted and submitted and submitted and submitted {I forgot how to indicate italics and it took me a few tries to figure it out.} a few hours ago.

Finally hit 200 votes.

Still in the toilet though.

 

[BrightShinyGirl]

I had an inspiration in the middle of the night last night and wrote one more. Submitted!

As i was reading this, all I could think of was "splinters..."

And there's a story idea for next year's challenge: a Victorian matron visits her doctor to help remove splinters from an encounter with a not well made wooden dildo.

"But ma'am, why are they in your mouth?"

This also reminds me of the old joke about the naked girl sitting on Pinocchio's face yelling out, "Tell more lies! Tell more lies!"

I have no idea what you're referring to, but it reminds me of the nickname some in the UAW gave to Leonard Woodcock back in the 70s.


Splinterdick.

And it was rejected with a rather cryptic message from the powers that be. More or less paraphrased: Is this really a story? Is it at least 750 words? I added one more word and resubmitted it. On the bright side, the formatting looks fine.

I managed to squeeze one more story out before the deadline, I managed to piss off readers in eight different categories!
