Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest - Update

Tuesday June 24th

Snow White Wins Better Sex Erotic Fiction Week 4
Snow White, sexual dwarfs and a lusty Vampire won the most votes we've had this year barely edging out a great story by a previous fiction contest winner. Use the link below to read last week's winning story:

Snow White and the Vampire by Annie Kerns

Congratulations to Annie for writing such an innovative story. Many writers have asked about the correct length, the word count, for our contest. Annie's story is one of the shortest this year. With a word count of just under 500 words Snow White and the Vampire proves that word count is not the most important issue. Several previous winners emailed how innovative and interesting they found Annie's idea. Great titles are also always good and Snow White and the Vampire is a great title.

Week 5 Stories are up and include:

A. Right On Schedule by Petula Caesar

B. Traffic Jammed by Lynn Lake

C. Afternoon in the Park by Chris Phillips

Our poll software, PollMonkey, has been acting up again. It was impossible to vote on Monday because the poll was frozen. Apparently our Monkey needed more bananas (translation an upgrade in our account). Vote counts for week 5 will start now and we will monitor the tool and the contest closely. If we need to add an extra day to this week's stories to make up for the inability to vote yesterday we will. We will see where vote counts are by the end of the week and post notice here and on our site if we need to extend.

Summer Erotic Fiction Contest Now Closed to new entries
We've received hundreds of great stories. The Summer Better Sex Erotic Fiction Contest is now closed to new entries. Any story received after today will be read for our next contest tentatively scheduled to begin in the fall.

We will be setting the schedule for the rest of the contest in the next few days. We will be able to confirm publication slots and email authors we will be holding to our next contest in the next week or so.
