Announcing our "Some Like it Hot" Story Competition

17 Dec 2014

At this time of year, many of us around the globe, are experiencing extremes of temperature. Sun worshippers might be trying to escape the 40°C heat by dipping into the cooling surf at Bondi or Copacabana Beach. Snow lovers may be finding ways to warm their cold aching bodies after a hard day on the slopes at Val d’Isère or Keystone.

Competition Theme

Stories entered into this competition, must feature an extreme of temperature, as a core plot element. Perhaps your characters like playing bdsm games with ice cubes or candle wax, or surprised by a cold glass dildo? Has a sweaty gym or sauna session turned into something more? Maybe your cast are stranded in deep snow, and need to somehow conserve body heat?

Full details here.

Ooh, exciting! I have no idea what to write!

17 Dec 2014

fun stuff, and I love the beach!

Stories are to be restricted to 3500 words, as an added challenge book

A heads up - temperature contrasts are of most interest to the judging panel. The use of both hot and cold in storylines, is more interesting, than simply a "hot sex on the beach" type story.

So I spent all morning devising a triple-twisted, melodramatic thriller before reading this. I had fifteen characters!

Oooh fun!

No ideas at the moment, but I will just have to get the old cogs working.

ooo...I was just finishing a story that would have met the criteria and subject matter save for the word limit. I took a crack at editing my story ...which no doubt improved it as a result...but there's no way I'll be able to trim it down to that few words with character development and the back story ....alas, I will admire my second place trophy from the supernatural competition a few months ago and bask in the glory thereof....good luck to all entrants!

P.S. My new story features a Studebaker truck!

Have you been to the beach in January? hot and cold all at once!

Hmmm??? Going to have to think carefully about this one. I like a good challenge though.

*Edit*

I've got it and started writing. I'm excited about this one. icon_smile

Is luke warm considered an extreme temperature? Regaeman Man

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

One of my planned stories features a cold-hearted bitch, would that work?

I mean, she's really cold-hearted. confused1
