The Official Authors' Hangout Summer Lovin' 2025 Contest Support Thread

Oh, geez... Where did July go? Where did the year go?

I'd better pull my finger out and get this one finished.

You've made me feel miles better. Getting paranoid for the longish stuff I churn out Hopefully, this one will roll out at around 25k

I feel like us long-form stories gotta stick together. I powered through to 53k Oh boy. I LOVE this story and these characters and the steamy-hot southern-fried smut. Why not. We've got a summer horse auction, hot lake skinny-dipping, some swamp magic ...smug, legacy...maybe a county fair if I'm lucky

I'm feeling a little nervous that my entry is only 9K words, but I don't see any need to expand it just to make it longer. Some of my regular readers will be surprised to see something so short.

I think I'm under 7K.

I may add a little more filler, but not much.

No need to be nervous at all. My Nude Day entry didn’t break 6k and did well both in terms of score and great feedback.

This one will be definitely much longer, though. I’m at 8k and it’s probably not even a half of it. It’s also my first time in First Time, so I’ll be losing a virginity along with the main character

I won't have a story in this contest, but I'd like everything to go well for those of you who will. So, here's a heads-up for when the contest gets going: If the contest isn't linked on the Categories page, ask the site folks to put a link there. Even now, today, that page has a link to the April Fool's Day contest. The Nude Day contest was never linked there.

I realize that many people enter Literotica through the site's Home page, and the Nude Day contest was mentioned there, I think from the get-go. When I enter LitE, my bookmark goes to My-Home, and use the Explore dropdown to get to Categories--but unless I decide to enter LitE without using my account, I never see the site's Home page. In the interest of getting as much notice for contest stories as possible, you might ask that there be a link on Categories as well as the site Home page.
