Geek Pride Story Event 2023 - Coming Soon

Everyone at Literotica is very excited to announce the

6th Annual Literotica Geek Pride Day Story Event

Here's more from this year's organizer ChloeTzang:

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 and 2022, and we’re enthusiastically running it again for 2023 - our 6th year for this event!

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 celebrate Geek Pride.

So let the Force guide your fingers. Start writing! This isn't a "by invitation only" event. 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.

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

1. ► Have an awesome 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!


2. ► 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 2023 Literotica Geek Pride Story Event: Official Support Thread).


3. ► Author must copy and paste the phrase "2023 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.


4. ►Please use "Geek Pride" and "Geek Pride 2023" as story tags.


5. ►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 Wednesday May 25th.

So what are you waiting for?! Visit the 2023 Literotica Geek Pride Story Event: Official Support Thread for full rules, submission info, and of course support and encouragement from your fellow authors.
