For this contest, we ask you to write us a short, sexy story, 1,000 words or less. One we can take into bed and get excited about. With a little more room to work with, we expect to see stronger characters and more involved plots than we saw in our previous flash contests. Not to mention hotter sex!

First prize: $200
Second prize: $100
Third prize: $50

Honorable mention prizes of $20 will be awarded at the discretion of desdmona.com and the judges. There is no entry fee. Stories must be received by November 1, 2004.

Winners will be picked by a panel of two judges and will be based on quality of writing, erotic appeal, and originality. The winning stories and honorable mentions will be displayed on desdmona.com on November 15, 2004.

We’d love to see erotica of all types and persuasions: heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender ... or whatever else you can think of. While we can’t accept stories featuring underage sex, just about anything else goes.
