The kids are back in school, the end of this ungodly heat is nearer, and you have almost two months before you have to worry about Halloween. In other words, you've got some writing time.

This thread intends to encourage anyone who'd like to write a little erotic fiction, from seasoned porn authors to the virginal beginner. Any writer can pick one (or more) of this month's prompts and write a story or scene that meets its requirement. It can be 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. Written in second person, any verb tense.
2. Plot depends on fire, flood, or famine.
3. Revolves around the preparation and consumption of food.
4. Set anywhere in the world during the 17th or 18th Century (1600s - 1800).
5. One important character is a rock star or a successful classical musician.
6. A married person has "run away from home."
7. Set in a jail, prison, stockade, detention center, concentration camp, or other place of confinement.
8. Under 250 words--that's less than one double-spaced page in Courier.
9. A character receives care after a serious injury.
10. Set shortly before, during, or just after a hurricane.
11. The main coupling includes a professional athlete and a person who isn't especially athletic.
12. A sex scene taking place on a boat or ship, any size, any type.

A scene or story using any single one of those is just fine. If you want to, you can have more in a single scene/story, but one's sufficient.

I encourage people who are new to erotic fiction, or uneasy about it but wanting to try it out, to give this a shot. You literally do not have to let anyone see the result.

Maryn, pretty sure you can do this

Well, I did a little piece for #3. It was actually an idea I had for a longer story, but one I got stymied on...because I had no clue how to depict a main character who wasn't good at cooking. *rolls eyes and smiles* So I did a short involving the characters, and I think it turned out alright. (i.e. it got the lilyWife's approval)

Excellent, lilyWhite! And it's only the 7th so you have time to try another if you had fun with the first.

Maryn, who can cook adequately
