The Fifth Annual Lusty Month of May Marathon Rules!
It's that time of year again! Spring is in the air, flowers are blooming, everything is turning green, and nature is surging and exploding with new vitality, which can mean only one thing: it's time for a glut of pervy werewolf smut.
The Fifth Annual Lusty Month of May Marathon:
The goal is simple: write and post smut here every day during the month of May. If more than one person writes and posts smut every single day, then we'll have a community poll to determine the winner. Only members of the community will be able to vote, and if there's a tie, we'll have a run-off poll until a single winner is determined.
The winner will receive six months paid IJ time or the donation of an equivalent amount to the charity of their choice if they have a permanent account. The winner and the runners up will all be lauded so that the rest of us can boggle, throw virtual flowers and chocolate, and cheer their stamina. I also hope to have icons and banners for all LMOM winners this year. (And if you're interested in creating them, please email me at scribbulus_ink @ insanejournal.com.)
The Rules:
1. Each story entry must be at least 500 words long. They may be longer, but that's the minimum word count allowable. Artists' entries may be anything from a full color piece to a B&W pencil sketch or a doodle as long as Remus is in it and it's smutty. Entries may also be in the form of poetry, as long as it meets the 500 word minimum and the PG13 rating requirements.
2. Each entry must contain smut of at least PG13 level whether it’s a story or art.
3. You may cross-post. For example, if you write a Remus-centric story for another challenge during May and the other challenge rules permit it, you may post it here for the LMOM, although please don't link from another community.
4. The story/art must be created in May, not before. This is to prevent people from simply pulling out all their smut from the past year or two and recycling it, or from jumping the gun and writing/drawing things before the challenge has officially begun (which would be cheating).
5. The story/art may feature het or slash smut as long as Remus is involved somehow, even if just as a voyeur.
6. You may write about
~ any scenario, including AUs and crossovers
~ any pairing, as long as Remus is involved somehow even if only as a voyeur
~ any kink, and I do mean any. There are no exclusions here.
~ or even vanilla smut, since I'm making an exception to the usual kinky rules for the purposes of this challenge.
7. If you miss a day, you may not post two (or more) on another day to make up for it. Only one challenge entry per day per person. Missing a day means you won't be eligible for the prize, although if you do post 31 non-consecutive entries, you'll be given an honorable mention.
Note: we had a problem during the first year because technical difficulties with LJ caused entries posted on one day to show up in the calendar view as having been posted on a different day, so people had zero entries on one day and two the next. I'm really sorry about that, and I know it's frustrating, but if it happens this year with IJ, I'm not going to make any exceptions. If you don't have one entry per day on the calendar view for whatever reason, you won't qualify to win the Marathon.
8. You must label your entry as a response to the Lusty Month of May challenge so that I can keep track along the way of who's posted what. Please don't forget to add the proper header info (see community profile page), including what kinks are in your story as well. You must include the word count in the header of your story/poem for the duration of this challenge.
9. No tinkering with time stamps, and no back dating. Period. Anyone caught doing that -- and there are ways of telling -- will be disqualified immediately.
10. We do have community tags, so please remember to use them. You can find a list of all available tags in the sidebar of the community's main page or listed here. Tags are listed by author name, pairing and kink. If you are a new writer, introduce a new pairing or introduce a new kink, I'll add it to the tag list.
11. All stories and art must be posted in the community itself, not linked from your personal journal, another community, or a personal website or archive.
You may begin writing/drawing entries for the LMOM as soon as it's May 1 in your time zone. You must start from scratch on May 1, not April 30!
Note: In the event that IJ has another lengthy outage as it did this month, I have made contingency plans. If the outage is between 24-48 hours, I will let people post make-up entries without penalty when IJ comes back up. If the outage is longer than 48 hours, I will extend the Marathon into June by however many days IJ is down.
For Fun and Inspiration:
I’ll provide a list of prompts once per week that people may use for inspiration for LMOM if so desired. Using the prompts is not required; they’re just for inspirational purposes. I’m giving a week’s worth of prompts at one time rather than posting daily due to time zone differences.
To select these prompts, I used Clue (or Cluedo) as inspiration.
Day 1 – in the bedroom with a dildo/vibrator.
Day 2 – In the Room of Requirement with a paddle
Day 3 – In the Shrieking Shack with a collar
Day 4 – Under the Quidditch stands with role-playing
Day 5 – In the Defence classroom with cross-dressing
Day 6 – In the Leaky Cauldron with delayed orgasm
Day 7 - In #12 Grimmauld Place with frottage
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy perving! :D
