Click hereComing in February: The Fourth Annual 750 Word Project!
Back in 2019, author jezzaz wondered:
Is it possible to write a complete story in exactly 750 words? That's the minimum limit that Literotica will accept, and after talking among ourselves, some of the writers on Lit decided to see if we could do it. After all, it's 750 words, right? How hard could it be? It's not like editing it is going to take long, after all.
[...]
It turns out it's harder than you might think to tell a story and have it mean anything in 750 words. But you can judge for yourself, when the fruits of our labors will be posted.
Like last year, to accommodate the large volume of entries we're allowing participants to submit their 750-word tale any time during the month of February. On March 1st, a master list of all challenge stories will be posted under the Literotica account. (Be sure to follow us to be notified of that and all other challenges and contests!)
This challenge is open to all - established authors or brand new Lit writers, any story category. To be a part of this challenge, you must:
The list of all participating stories will be posted on March 1st.
- Write a story that is EXACTLY 750 words by Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or Literotica Control Panel Editor count - no more, no less. ***ADDED 2/4 - story must be 750 words EXCLUDING title, description, tags, etc. Word count includes story text only.
- Copy and paste this phrase into the Note To Admin section of the submission form: "750 WORD PROJECT". Please copy and paste this so that a typo doesn't keep your story from participating!
- Submit your story in any story category February 1st-28th.

A big thank you to jezzaz for creating this event, and to all the readers and writers who make this site possible!
Quick question: do hyphenated words count as one or two, e.g. Sweat-soaked? :-)
Dutchboy, in case no one answered, some authors in past years have submitted multiple stories, sometimes even in the same category. Have fun writing!
Does the project allow multiple submissions by the same author, say, one in Mind Control, one in Erotic Horror and so on?
BTW, this project is fun and forces me to improve my writing. Adverbs were the first casualty.
Thanks.
