Can next month be PNR erotica? I feel like that would be much easier.
Sorry, we're not doing themes twice. :-/

We already had erotic short stories? When was that? just for research of course.
I would love to write an erotic story for a contest. I think that is a very hard topic to balance in storytelling I think, many tales have either no erotics or even love, or the complete opposite and the story is full of sex and nothing else. I guess most writers are too scared to mess it up and just try to ignore it.

Anyway. 10 days to go and I already discarded 2 drafts, the next one I write will (hopefully) be the one I will post for this months contest.

Got there in the end! Like you Slay I discarded a fair few ideas, one I even wrote a few hundred words on  :o

In the end I went with possibly the most ridiculous idea of them all. May not be to everyone's taste  ;D :P

I promised myself last year to keep this up, and only managed January. Although that one story did spawn several more.

Not sure its a short story now, just a chapter in a larger one :-\

Oh well, here I go again with another year, and another attempt at short stories... ;D

Still trying to get this done. New idea tonight. I like the premise, but don’t really have a plot yet.   >:(

FUS-RO-DAH!

Okay that's it. I'm done with my story. Let's just adjust the minimum word limits accordingly.

@ScarletBea, how much time can I have?
I had (yet another) new idea last night while reading a biography of Napoleon.

I could... but then wouldn't those that slaved to get it done during the month be annoyed at me?
I give 2 extra days then, whole of Friday and Saturday.

Of course Jmack is entering something. He hasn't taken a month off in years. ;)

Oh I fully trust @JMack to write a great story in 1.5 day ;D

(I hadn't noticed he hadn't submitted yet, I never really look properly until the month ends)
