The worst challenge!

[StillStunned]

Yes, I know. Nobody is forcing us to take part in the challenges. If the theme doesn't appeal, we can just shrug and move on to something else.

But imagine Lit had a rule that you had to enter at least one challenge each year, and they all sucked. Let's have some ideas for "this is really terrible, but I could see someone actually organising it" challenges. The weirder the better.

(This thread was inspired by listening to Tanita Tikaram's "Twist In My Sobriety" so soon after the "Born to Run" challenge.)

All within Lit's normal publishing rules, of course. And all in the spirit of good fun. I'm OK with someone suggesting a "Day in the life of StillStunned" challenge, but let's not be nasty to other posters, readers, kinks, people with different political views, etc.

Anyway, my suggestion for an awful challenge: "Waiting for Godot but you're not allowed to say 'he said he'd come'".

Anyone else?

Write a story about a clown orgy, but it cant be a horror story.

 

[Erozetta]

Quick Squicks: Write a kink that squicks you out in exactly 750 words. Here's the challenge for the challenge: Write it to appeal to the demographic who likes it.

"The Literotica Politics Board Convention".

 

[HordHolm]

It Was All A Dream: in honour of the cheapest scriptwriting hack, create the most far-fetched, implausible scenario, and then, hey presto! It was all a dream...

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

What if you could only pose one challenge a year?

 

[TheLobster]

Write an erotic story in the style of Finnegans Wake.

It Was All A Dream: in honour of the cheapest scriptwriting hack, create the most far-fetched, implausible scenario, and then, hey presto! It was all a dream...

I'm actually toying with the idea of a Munchhausen challenge for next year: far-fetched and implausible scenarios told with a straight face and complete conviction.

Sensory Deprivation: write a story in which the characters can't see, hear, talk or touch, all while sealed in a sensory deprivation tank.

Unfinished Tales.

 

[lovecraft68]

You have to write a story which incorporates all of the most redundant AH themes

The over 18 rule
AI rejection
Continuing another author's story
How long will it take to get published
Ideal story length
Stroke vs Substance
The merit or lack of for a Red H.

Additional challenge, during the course of the story a recurring male character has to keep popping up and saying "Question just for the ladies; what makes you horny?"

 

[Erozetta]

Sensory Deprivation: write a story in which the characters can't see, hear, talk or touch, all while sealed in a sensory deprivation tank.

With a vivid enough imagination (and visual imagery) this wouldn't be all that different from a regular story.

I was talking to someone about this recently in how I pull up memories of touch, sight, taste, and scent when I'm writing and can recall the differences between people and literally feel/experience it as if it were real and in the moment.

How about the "OMG his cock/her tits are too big" challenge?

 

[Erozetta]

Unfinished Tales.

...you mean a place to dump all my WIPs? I see no issue with this. I need a fresh start.

Can you imagine? For a month, Lit would be swamped by a thousand stories every day. Readers would look in vain for one that actually had an end. Or, of it had an end, a middle.

"Stories"

 

[StillStunned]

OK, I have to do it: the 2P POV challenge.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

You need to write the story where the cuck wants soooo bad to burn the bitch but is forced to reconcile instead.

"One cock two cock, red cock blue cock: the Dr Seuss Erotica challenge".

Run your entry through Google Translate into Russian, then Microsoft Translator back into English. Don't fix it.

Joaquin Phoenix should be in the movie version. By the way, I assume there are some females among these clowns?

"One cock two cock, red cock blue cock: the Dr Seuss Erotica challenge".

I will not fuck you in the ass
I will not use a dildo glass
I will not fuck your derriere
I will not fuck you anywhere

Looking around the forum it seems the clowns are all male.

 

[lovecraft68]

A sadistic idea.

Everyone has to write Rings of Power fan fic with the stipulation the characters have to act as idiotic as they do in the show.

Wrote a clown stor, just not an orgy.
