We are delighted to announce our first ever competition on the relaunched LS V2.0 platform, with a whopping $500 on offer to the winner!
The Ultimate Seduction
Seduction means “To entice or beguile into a desired state or position.”
Vladimir Nabokov once said; “Above all, a great writer is always a great enchanter,”
Gifted storytellers are those who are able to seduce their readers from the first sentence. The reader is lured in, taken into another world of mystery, excitement and intrigue. They hint and flirt at where their story is going, but never give more than a glimpse of where it's ultimately heading. Audiences are kept in suspense, teased and drawn in as the plot unravels, and the heat becomes unbearable. Only once it reaches simmering point, does the ultimate seduction take place.
Theme:
For this competition we are looking for stories which build up gradually, like a slow tease. We want readers to be seduced by your stories, as much as the characters in them should be seduced too.
Of course a climactic outcome and hot sex are desirable as always, but we leave that up to your imagination!
We are giving a generous word count for this competition of 6,000 words, which gives a greater scope for plot development and a slower build up.
Winner: $500
Second Place: $250
Third Place: $100
