The How-To Contest is on its way. See Sticky at top of the Author's Hangout.
How-Tos are just that: Essays or Instructions on How-To do something. Since this is Literotica the usual How-To should be sexual instruction e.g. "How To Lick a Pussy". (But that's been done - see the How-To section of Stories).
Quote from the sticky:
We will accept entries starting on May 1, and we will stop accepting new entries on May 22. We will announce the 3 winners on May 29. This contest will coexist with the usual monthly contest. Stories may only win one or the other, not both contests simultaneously. As with all Literotica contests, all entries must be new stories never before posted to Literotica.
As before, this thread is to encourage authors to write and enter, to support them when the muses fly away, to sympathise when trolls attack, and to shamelessly beg for votes.
For anyone who hasn't entered a themed Literotica contest before:
The advantages are that once you enter, that How-To essay and all your writing gets more attention, votes, feedback and PCs than it would otherwise get. You also get support from members of the Author's Hangout.
The disadvantages are that your essay also attracts unwelcome attention from trolls and unenlightened critics. The sweeps of duplicated and illegal votes can cause heartbreak. It can be a bumpy ride.
If you really want your writing to improve, critics will be a factor. Entering a themed Literotica contest is one of the easier ways to get noticed.
If in doubt, go for it. You have nothing to lose but your virginity, and if you haven't lost it yet, what are you doing here?

PS. And you could be eligible for the Author's Hangout Last Place (tm) Contest and win nothing but the awe and esteem of your fellow-writers.
