To celebrate our 4th birthday, For The Girls (FTG) is conducting our third erotic fiction competition. Our aim is to uncover more great examples of sexy writing created expressly for women.
This year’s theme is discovery. It’s a broad theme that can encompass exploration, experimentation, invention, realisation, breaking new ground, and uncovering secrets.
The competition will run throughout June and July and is open to FTG members as well as members of the public. Both professional writers and amateur wordsmiths are welcome to enter.
Competition Rules:
1. Stories should be a maximum of 2000 words in length.
2. Stories can cover any topic, however it must be erotic in nature, sex positive and be written expressly for female readers.
3. The story should address the competition theme of discovery in some way.
4. We will not accept stories that feature any of the following themes or acts: non-consensual sex, bestiality, underage sex, incest, violent or abusive sex, or anything where women are treated without respect.
5. We will not accept stories if the spelling or punctuation are substandard.
6. Stories should be original and previously unpublished.
7. You may use a pseudonym or penname if you wish, however we also need to know your real name for the purposes of the competition.
8. You must be aged 18 or over to enter.
