Drought's End
This is a very short flash-fic piece written for the desdmona 'fragrant flash' con-*test*-('"). For the first time *ever*, I've written it as m/f. :shock: Not quite sure why except that it seemed to fit the bill and I think they prefer it to m/m...? Anyhoo, I've uploaded the 298 word result at Erotic Romancers and will be interested to see what anyone thinks. Because I've never attempted a het sex scene before, I'm not terribly confident that it's any good so any suggestions on improvements would be gratefullly received!

I'll go have a look....

Wow! Very nice, Tav! :D

Thanks! It's amazing how different it made things, doing it as m/f. It probably isn't very different really but I've had so little practise (aka none <g>) that I really lack confidence in making a m/f scene erotic. Nice to know it's better than I thought it was! And hte flash aspect is really, really hard as well. A whole story in 300 words? I surprised myself in the end!

The last line really pulls it all together... good job.

Submitted it to desdmona's con-*test*-('") today. Fingers crossed!

*crosses fingers*

I had a brief message back to say it's cleared the 'pre-screening' process so that's one hurdle out of the way....

I'm about to blow my own trumpet here so if you're not into that sort of thing, please look away now. LOL But I could NOT resist passing on this lovely loc from desdmona about my story. I'm absolutely overjoyed because it's the first ever het erotica story I've written and I really wasn't confident it was any good. But... but... but they seemed to like it, so....!! ::dances:: ----------------- "I wanted to drop a line and tell you how wonderful I thought your story, "Drought's End" was that you submitted to the Fragrant Flash Con-*test*-('"). In the end, the judges felt it didn't do enough with the theme, but we all thought it was a top-notch story and felt it a privilege to read it. desdmona"

that's GREAT news... sure, winning would have been better, but the fact is that obviously your story made enough of an impact that they felt you deserved better than a polite dismissal... booyah, I say... booyah to you!!! :D

Thanks hon! :D

Wow! That's wonderful! Are they going to use it for a regular issue?

Thanks hon! I dunno, she didn't say. I guess I could always offer it to them and see what they say.... ;)

Plumped it out a little (to fit 500 word flash instead of 300) and subbed it to the Steam Heat con-*test*-('"). Fingers crossed!

*fingers crossed too*
