Coming in February: The Sixth Annual 750 Word Project!
In 2019, author

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.
And thus, the very popular Literotica 750 Word Story Challenge was born.
This challenge gives authors a chance to play with ideas, improving their skills and (most importantly) having fun with words. Some of the challenge stories are developed into longer works. One of the reason Laurel and Manu started Literotica is as a tribute to our love of words. To see writers of all skill levels playfully enjoying this challenge (and all challenges, including the challenge of constructing any story!) makes them smile.
To accommodate the large volume of entries, participants may enter their 750-word tale any time in February.
On March 1st, the full list of all challenge stories will be posted under the Literotica account. (Follow Literotica to be notified of that and all other challenges and contests!)
This challenge is open to all - longtime Literotica authors or brand new writers, in any story category. To be a part of this challenge, you must:
