Lmao! I guess great minds think alike. I’m confident I’ve added my own personal flair on it though - it’s a love letter to conventions, fandom culture, and being gay / bi. It also leans more romantic / slow burn than hot / lusty.

I guess I gotta wait and see though, haha!

 

[StillStunned]

I've managed 4.4k words of mine, but unless I catch an unstoppable wave tomorrow, I don't think I'll finish it on time. Sorry!

Don’t give up! You can always submit late and have it added after the fact

It will keep until next year.

Well, I'm still working on my contribution and I had an internet outage for the last 4 hours so it's tomorrow now.......

I'm confident my "Star Wars Celebration" convention story is unique as well:

Peter Olsen, Victor's best friend, is unexpectedly roped into accompanying Vic's wife, uber fan Leah, to Star Wars Celebration. It's Pete's wife Allie's idea, who sees it as a practical solution.

"Unlike me and Victor, Pete actually enjoys Star Wars. You two can share expenses, have a blast playing with laser swords or whatever... it's perfect!"

There is some accidental flashing, Star Wars arcade games, R2-D2 panties, erotic Reylo fanfic readings, extramarital sex

I am pretty pumped for this one and thanks @ChloeTzang for organizing. I’m new here and just lately figured out where to find contest details.

My story isn’t very long, but it’s pretty geeky. I feel confident that it’s unique. Kind of a Star Trek pastiche…. you’ll see. It’s actually an extension of a Drabble I wrote ages ago that never really found a home. Making it longer and more erotic was a really interesting exercise.

I’ve been geeky for quite a while and I’m really looking forward to reading all the stories!

Oh, that piques my interest! Reminds me of one of my favorites, Space Quest by archerstories.

Looking forward to yours!

Neat. I hadn’t read that one before. Thanks for the link.

Caveat: Mine’s a lot tamer.

Hopefully mine has at least one LOL moment as well though.

Complete the story a week ago. Loved the story after first edit. Then my muse had other ideas... wants to rewrite the whole thing... now its race against time for 20k+ words.

Knight's Gambit: A Code Of Desire
FFM geeks romance blooms with Chess, Code, Lust, vs A Bully!
today in First Time Stories

It grew to be 27k words short contemporary romance novel... Barely managed in time for the deadline.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Oh no, I think my one will be a late addition.......

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

Oh no, I think my one will be a late addition.......

Better late than never (or at least the next year) like I often do! Good luck and thanks again for riding herd on this.

I’m looking forward to reading some of the stories.

 

[TheLobster]

It's happening! Here are all the stories -- 28, if I counted correctly.

And of course, it includes mine

Guild Master's Favor
Taylor must find out whether her crush is playing favorites.
14k words in Romance

Plenty to good stuff to read, I'm sure, for the remainder of the weekend and beyond.

LOL I am up way early aiming to finish today

Congrats to everyone who got their stories submitted on time, unlike moi - looking forward to reading them all

I wish I'd had more time to edit, but it is what it is. I did learn a lot. It's the first story I've submitted here, and after reading some others, I spotted some major improvements I could've made.

This is never ending loop. My story was compete last week... then I improvised a rewrote it... now I think previous version would have been better as it was well edited.. new version did not receive enough love for final polishing and minor tweaks... there was just not enough time

As you rightly called, your learning will help you make your next story better.

 

[SouthernCrossfire]

Congratulations to all who finished and good luck to Chloe as she finishes hers! I've finished reading one story so far and started a second and am enjoying them so far.

Cici's Saving Throw has been published at about 25,600 words (7 Lit pages) in Romance, though I debated putting it in First Time since most of the sex is just that. It's about a nerdy young woman trying to find herself and find love as she meets geekier young men. It's a prequel, of sorts, to "After Duty Calls," my April Fool's Story.

 

[Zeronix]

Ooh stories have been published! Congrats to everyone who submitted.

I wish it was easier to see what category submissions landed up in. I had a hard time finding other gay male content lol.

In the end I think my own submission might have been too niche. or the title put people off, or something. It’s one of my lowest-view stories to date lmao. oh well, live and learn your target audience i guess.

It’s only been half a day, give people a chance to find it!

I may be reading it wrong, but it looks like only 19 people have looked at your story? That doesn’t seem correct.

 

[BryanRichardson]

I wish people would leave feedback to explain why they give the number of stars they do. Did something specific turn you off / annoy you? Or was it just too all over the place?

Fair! I do think the number of views / ratings is substantially below other stories I’ve published at this time. But maybe it’ll keep climbing over the next week. I can hope I guess.

The public view count is usually not up to date. as of right now I have just under 1k views

Oh wow, just looked at your story! It seems pretty unique to say the least. Have you been getting review bombed?

I totally didn’t expect the content given the title and blurb. But then again I don’t normally read NonHuman so idk.

In any case I kinda didn’t feel the erotica, it felt more like a bio lesson. Which is fine, if that’s what you wanted

If you click on the Geek Pride 2025 tag on any of the stories (or just click on this link here!) it should show you all of the stories written as part of the event, and it should be easier to determine categories!

Zeronix - https://www.literotica.com/s/long-live-the-queen-1 is a biology lesson, and I didn’t expect much from 900ish words. It’s doing fine. I’m looking for feedback on https://www.literotica.com/s/trading-cards, I put a lot of time into that one and the popularu
It’s score isn’t very good.
