Ho ho ho, ha ha ha, he he he...
Yes, it's that time of year again - the time of year when Literotica gets lazy and you, our favorite authors (that means all of you), get lucky. Instead of holding a separate contest for Thanksgiving, Daylight Savings Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years, Check Your Smoke Detector Day, and whatever other days people get excited about this time of year, we go all Katamari on you and roll them all into one.
But that's not all! It is also sometime around now or now around sometime when Literotica celebrates her/his/its birthday. This year, Lit is 7, and that can mean only one thing: 700 bucks up for grabs. You heard (read) right - the top prize in this year's Literotica Winter Holiday/Anniversary contest is $700. If that doesn't get your copy of Microsoft Word (yes, we know, open source r00lz) excited, then nothing will.
With that, we wish you all good luck, and remind you not to accidentally bump the insert key because you'll be writing over the stuff you already wrote.
The contest prizes are as follows:
First Place: $700
Second Place: $250
Third Place: $100
Fourth through Seventh Place: special bonus prize
Because this is our super-duper 7th anniversary, all authors will be eligible, even if you've already won this year.
We will accept entries starting November 10, and we will stop accepting contest entries on December 7. On December 14, we will announce the 7 winners. This contest will coexist with the usual monthly contest. Stories may only win one or the other, not both contests simultaneously.
All rules for the monthly contests are in place. The only exception to the rules is:
- A story has only to accrue 25 votes to be eligible, rather than the 50 required for the monthly contest.
The following guidelines also apply:
- All contest stories must be submitted via our online form. If you are a WebTV user or have difficulty with the form, follow the instructions here.
- Author must put the phrase "WINTER HOLIDAY STORY CONTEST 2005" in the "Notes" field of the submission for the story to count in the contest.
- Story must have a winter holiday theme. Please don't just submit a normal story and throw in snowflakes and gingerbread. That would not be in the spirit of the contest, and readers & voters would probably punish you for your trickiness.
Any story that meets the above criteria will be entered into the contest, and winners will be decided by reader input.
Important Note: Once your story is submitted, it may take 72 hours for it to be posted. We strongly suggest that you do not wait till the last day of the contest to submit your story. The sooner you submit, the better chance your story has of accruing the votes necessary to be eligible.
As always, any cheating will result in disqualification of the story. We reserve the right to disqualify any story/author for any reason at any time.
Good luck, and have fun!
