Geek Pride Story Event 2024 Coming Soon

Everyone at Literotica is very excited to announce the

7th Annual Literotica Geek Pride Day Story Event

Here's more from this year's organizer

Here on Literotica, in recognition of Geek Pride Day, one of our fellow writers,

PuckIt

, organized the

inaugural Literotica Geek Pride Day Story Event

on May 25th, 2018. This was such a popular event with writers and readers last year that we ran it again in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, and we’re enthusiastically running it again for 2024 - our 7th year for this event!

Yours truly has volunteered once again to kick the Geek Day Event off and at least try and answer any questions. (Although I may plead for help if the answers to the questions are beyond me).

The 25th of May was first organized as Geek Pride Day in 2006 by the Spanish blogger Germán Martínez (known online as Señor Buebo). Since then, Geek Pride Day has slowly gained international recognition (in certain Geek circles) and we on Literotica want to do our bit to continue to celebrate Geek Pride.

So let your freak flag fly! Write a story for Literotica’s 2024 Geek Pride Day Story Event.

Let the Force guide your fingers. Start writing! This is an OPEN TO ANYONE event - it's not “by invitation only." This isn’t a competition. There’s no placing. There’s no prizes. This is for the sheer joy of writing alongside a bunch of other Literotica writers. This is for anyone on Literotica who would like to try it out. You don't have to have written anything before to write for this event. First time writers and veteran Literoticans alike are all invited and encouraged to participate. If you're new here and you've been thinking about writing for a competition, but you're nervous about jumping in, write something for Geek Pride as a trial run. If you've been around for a while, hey, don't wait for me tp beg, pleade, or kick your ass. Get those fingers moving and come up with something.

Me? I have my Geek Pride story for 2024 half done already!

The Rules are actually awesomely simple (please read them all to make sure your story is included in the event!):

► Have a story idea with some kind of geeky theme. Sci-Fi or Fantasy is the most likely category, but if you want to get geeky in any other category, you go for it! You can write a Geek story for ANY category, and honestly, the more categories, the better. Let's broaden the appeal of Geek Pride!!!!!

► Any geeky subject, any category, any length you like. But please, only stand-alone stories (if you need clarification on that or any other rule, ask the friendly folks over at the

2024 Literotica Geek Pride Story Event: Official Support Thread

).

► Author must copy and paste the phrase "

2024 Literotica Geek Pride Story Event

" in the "Notes" field of the submission. We recommend that you COPY & PASTE it into the NOTES field to avoid typos.

►Please use "

Geek Pride

" and "

Geek Pride 2024

" as story tags.

►All entries to be submitted from

May 15th through to 11:59pm, May 24th

- with a Go Live Date (day stories will be posted on the site) of

Saturday May 25th

.

That's it!
