Oops! Picture Story Challenge 2013

Closing date for entries: midnight (GMT) Tuesday 19th March 2013
Voting period: Wednesday March 20th, 2013 to Friday April 12th, 2013 inclusive. (GMT)

We are pleased to announce a new challenge.

- Please write a spanking story based on one, or a combination of several, of the four images in the picture.
For example, you can write a story that features a broken window; or you can write a story that features a broken window and a dented car; or you can write a story that features three of the images or all four of the images.

- The story should be a minimum of 500 words in length. There is no maximum length.

- You can feature whatever orientation you prefer to write about - M/F, F/m etc.

- You can have more than one entry if you wish.

- All stories entered should not have been previously published anywhere on the internet.

- All stories should be entirely your own work - which also means no plagiarism.

- Please note that we do not allow stories that feature sex between an adult and a minor.



Stories entered for the challenge will not reveal the authors name until after the voting has taken place. PLEASE DO NOT LET ANYONE KNOW YOUR STORY IN ADVANCE. You, the library members can vote accordingly for your favourite stories.





How To Submit Your Story For The Challenge
Stories can be submitted either by using the Contact Us button and pasting your story into the message box or by sending them to our main email address. If you don't have our main email address then either message one of the site admins via the Activity screen (click the envelope icon to the left of the admin's name) who will message you back and give it to you, or send us a brief message again using the Contact Us button and we'll email you back.

Whichever way you do it please make sure your site user name is provided and you make it clear that the story is for the challenge. Preferred format for stories is plain text but as described in the Author Guide (linked from the About button) we can handle most formats including rtf, Open Office, pdf, Microsoft Word and others.

Stories submitted for the challenge will be pre-formatted and loaded to the library in the usual way except that they will initially be set to "restricted" so that they will not be visible to other site users.

When the voting begins the Story Challenge screen will list all the stories that were entered but the author names will not be shown, just the story titles. The story challenge software is accessible by clicking the Challenges button from the site menu. When the challenge is open for voting this button will be yellow, in the meantime there won't be much to see except details of the previous challenges.

Users will be able to view all of the stories from this screen. Note that challenge stories will not appear in the Latest Read table, nor will the Activity page show the story details of what is being read. Similarly, should you decide to comment on a challenge story you will only see your own comment and not those of others, nor will the comment show up in the Latest Commented list. And finally, if you decide to make one or more of the challenge stories a 'favourite' it will only show up in your Favourites list when voting has concluded. All of these measures are simply to try and not reveal the names of the authors until voting has finished.


Voting
You can assign a score of between 0 and 10 to each entry. Authors can vote for their own stories if they want to - but please vote for all the others and not just your own! And please vote fairly! It will also be possible to change the number of points allocated to an entry either by voting on it again with a different number of points or by deleting the vote and starting over.

At the end of the voting period it will no longer be possible to vote any more and the story challenge screen will then show the scores for the top 3 stories & 3 runners up. Points awarded for the other entries will not be shown as it could well be demotivating or upsetting to an author if they received very few points. However, if a particular author really wants to know they can always send us a popup message and we'll provide the info.

If you have never written any stories before, now is your chance to have a go! You don't have to be an established spanking author to join in, and it doesn't matter if you have never written a story before. Do try it - it will be fun reading all the entries.

Our blog readers are being directed to this thread so please keep discussions on topic.


Thanks and good luck everyone,

Excellent choice of topic, as usual. I couldn't even look at those pictures without reaching for a slipper.

I like it. This should be a good one with a lot of great scenarios. Thanks Admins.

OK, after staring at the pic beside the car for days I have yet to figure out what it is. Can someone please tell me what I am looking at, as including the items in the story is rather impossible without knowing what it is for sure. Thanks

I'm pretty sure its a broken crop.

A crop? I thought it was a cane. I crop would be easier though. :D

It is indeed a broken crop!

I knew that if I revisited this thread often enough my question would
be answered. For a brief spell I was wondering if it was a broken windscreen
wiper - but then I had clearly lost sight of where I was!
Thanks everyone

I can confirm it is indeed a broken riding crop because it is, or was, my riding crop, which I strongly suspect was sabotaged by the Head Librarian...

LOL...I never thought of a riding crop, but then I was never into the western scene. Thanks everyone and it is pleasing to note that I was not the only one on site to wonder.

I am sure Februs that Flopsy was only thinking of what a great picture it would make when she sabotaged your riding crop. I mean there would not be any other reason...would there? LOL
