a bribe to write new doll stories?

i've been in correspondence with a latex design company now based in australia about the possibility of sponsoring a competition to write doll fetish fiction featuring transformations and hypnosis. they are going to offer an off the rack latex item in UK size 8-10 for the winner and also to host the entries on their site.

dollsrealm would post the winning story and possibly the top two or three.

would anyone be interested in writing for it? Gromets Plaza did very well with so many entries and i feel its good pr for both the sponsor and this blog. a few more items maybe be possible and other gifts for the winner which could include loads of credits at a certain Second Life shop i used to model for as well as anything else really.


Would you enter the Doll Story competition
YES
NO

If your work is marketable why not publish it and make some money instead of a few outfits at best? Admittedly the market for doll stories is rather small so the commercial market would be very limited. But the real challenge would be to write a fetish story which would pull the mainstream into this world.

I think it's possible and more interesting than the fantasy you read in fetish fiction/erotica such as people turning to dolls with rubber skin and living in boxes for the rest of their lives. As the mainstream flirts with fetish the smart money is trying to tap the potential in the larger market out there.

I think that is why you have seen the shiny leggings thing happen. This was leveraging fetish appeal in a mainstream market where the bigger bucks lie.

The vacbed contest was deeply flawed, and basically turned into a contest for who could gather the most votes from their friends. I would only enter if it were judged by an indepentent panel.

I would be more willing to try my hand if I fit into the UK 8-10 size catagory. I figure why not? I got some ideas in my head and if someone's willing to bribe me to attempt to flesh one out why not go for it?

Yes, I think they need to look at larger sizes. The average size for a woman in the UK is now Size 16 and many people in the fetish community are larger.

These days Size 8-10 is really just for anorexic teenagers and that is hardly the people you would be looking for to take part in this competition.

You try publishing anything these days, let alone in specialised fields like this. Two competitions in the UK for mainstream novels in the past five years have each had over 40,000 novels submitted. You stand no chance of getting published unless you are already a celebrity.

I have produced fetish novels and numerous shorter pieces that would never be taken up. Online self-publication or a competition like this is the only chance to get any kind of attention for your work.

I agree about the need for independent judging. In mainstream novel writing competitions like that run by Amazon public voting means only the most bland novels ever end up winning.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with? I'm going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.

P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any trouble with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
months of hard work due to no data backup.
Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
