Okay, let's make this easier to fit into a month's time frame as we challenge or inspire those who write, or who are ready to write, or who want to challenge themselves to write erotic fiction. Any writer can pick one (or more) of the prompts and write a story which meets its requirement. It can be any length, any heat level.
That can be the end of it. You reply to this thread, announce you wrote something and on which prompt, receive congratulations, and call it done, never showing it to anyone. That makes it pretty safe if you're shy about it.
Or you can post the resulting story on the password-protected board at Share Your Work - Erotica (see this to get the password, if you don't have it) and get qualified feedback on your story. If you do not want critique, please don't post your work.
Nobody has to post their story, and nobody should post an erotic work anywhere at AbsoluteWrite besides Share Your Work - Erotica, which requires you to have the password and 50 posts. (Critiquing the work of others is a great way to get there--and you'll learn a lot, too.)
Reminder: Moderators do not distribute the password. You get that by stating your are 21 or older and asking for the password in a private message to AW Admin.
1. A scene--just a scene, not a whole story--that's all dialogue. Limit tags to [Name] said, and use tags only if necessary. Try not to.
2. Describe a character, either in a chunk of prose or during a scene. Limit this to 300 words or so. No story required, just the description.
3. Characters are hikers camping in isolated rugged area.
4. POV character watches a sexual act but does not participate.
5. Main pairing is in a "forbidden" relationship (remember, no minors, bestiality other than shape shifters, etc.).
6. 200 words, exactly--less than one double-spaced page. Test your editing mettle.
7. Includes as an important or main character a person with a physical disability.
8. Present tense.
9. Set in a tightly confined place, such as a voting booth, airplane toilet, etc.
10. Takes place during WWII.
11. A scene in which your character(s) takes a bath. Bubbles optional.
