Pervy Werewolf Fanciers

Congratulations to katekintail, who has won the grand prize for the first time after completing LMOM 7 years in a row! She is truly an LMOM Iron Woman, and I hope you'll join me in lauding her victory! Ms Grand Prize Winner, please let me know if you want IJ or DW time or other needs up to $25, or where you wish a donation to be made in your name. You can leave a comment letting me know your preference, if you wish.

( Icons for all the winners! )

Thanks to everyone who came out to participate and read/comment this year! If this turns out to be the last LMOM, I think we went out on a chocolate-covered Remus bang!

Remember, this community is open all year long for all your Remus-centric kinky posts. Happy Perving, all!

Congratulations are in order for who made it through the month! Your smut stamina is to be commended. ^_^ This year, all our winners fall into the Classic LMOM Stamina tier, and since you've all had extra days to read, we're going to go straight into the polling for our Grand Prize winner!

Tier One: Classic LMOM Stamina means that these people posted a minimum of 500 words or 1 art piece daily, so be sure to congratulate and vote for these LMOM 2011 winners!:

Poll #6134 Grand Prize LMOM 2011
Open to: Friends, results viewable to: All

Who should be the Grand Prize Winner of LMOM 2011?

The poll will remain open through Wednesday and I will post the results and participant icons on Thursday.

I would also like to acknowledge the authors and artists who visited us this month with Lusty Remus entries: Arcadian_Dream, CountessZero, ShadowyCat, SomeOldCat, and SweetMelodyKiss. Some of their entries are locked, so you'll have to become a member to see all the yummy pervy werewolf goodness.

Now, some housekeeping: If you apply for membership to the community, please read the profile rules and note that an age statement or date of birth with the year must be publicly visible on your profile.

If you are still reading through the entries, don't forget that you can use the community tags to navigate one participant's entries. Everyone should check their tags to make sure they're correct. You especially want to make sure your entries have a kink tag if there is a kink, because that's how many people read the community.

I think that's it for now. Congratulations to our winners once again. You are truly Pervy Iron-Women!

Last two days of posting for the Lusty Month of May! If you'd like to jump in and offer a single Remus-centric pervy post, please feel free. We've had a few now.

If you promised me icons for the winners and participants, please send them to me by Friday or let me know if you need another day or so. If I don't hear from anyone, yikes - you'll be subject to my weird icon whims, then.

It would help me out if you would reply to this post and let me know what tier you were going for if it's not obvious. It will be very helpful to know as I go through posts to confirm your entries.

Hang in there, participants, and don't forget to comment, lovely members and readers! You'll have a couple days to catch up on your reading before I post the winners (people who have completed at least one of the tiers), and another day before I open the poll to choose our grand prize winner, which will be open probably less than a week, but we'll see how the days work out.

Happy Perving! ~_^

About commenting during Lusty Month:

1. Being rude with an empty account gets you immediately removed from the community. I understand the need for blank IJ accounts with only age statements, but if you take that empty account and use it as a way to write nasty comments, I'm going to be quick with the removal button.

2. When commenting, remember that this challenge is like a porny NaNoWriMo. Writing 500 words or creating art each day isn't easy, and we shouldn't expect polished work from the daily participants. Please keep this in mind when you're considering making critical comments. Constructive criticism is welcome on this community. Demanding comments with unrealistic expectations of a creator producing 500 words or a piece of art per day is not welcome.

*****
That aside, how's it going? Remember, if you're experiencing kink burn-out, you're allowed to create vanilla sex and PG-13 pieces for this challenge.

Watchers, if you have any kinks or Remus pairings you'd like to see, feel free to leave a comment here with a few short words of inspiration for the participants to use. And please keep cheering everyone on with your comments.

We're in the second half of the month now - your encouragement is needed more than ever! Send your friends over, too, if you wish. I'm approving new memberships at least once a day.

Questions, concerns? Feel free to ask! And keep on pervin' on!

It's baaaaack! For an 8th great year, the annual fest to thoroughly debauch our favourite Pervy Werewolf, one Remus Lupin! And, as always, the month contains fabulous challenges and prizes - or something like that. And since it's already May 1 in part of the world, let's get straight to the the rules!

The Eighth Annual Lusty Month of May Marathon:

The goal is simple: Write or Draw smut with Remus, posting here during the month of May in accordance with one of the four tiers. Writers/Artists who complete Tier One or Tier Two are eligible for the grand prize, and 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 this year will receive one year (this is an increase for only this year because I choose to gift that amount and I am a guest mod) IJ time or the donation of an equivalent amount to the charity of their choice if they prefer ($25). 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. There will be icons and banners for all LMOM winners this year. (And while I already have one volunteer, if you're interested in creating more icons, please email me at lore13 @ gmail.com.)

The Rules:

1. 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).

2. Each entry must contain smut of at least PG-13 level whether it’s a story or art. (PG-13: Somehow mention sex if you're writing a multi-chaptered fic, at least imply sex if you're drawing art)

3. You may cross-post. For example, if you write/draw a Remus-centric story/art 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. Stories/art must be posted in full here to qualify, not linked from your personal journal, another community, or a personal website or archive.

4. The story/art may feature het or slash smut as long as Remus is involved somehow, even if just as a voyeur. Solo smut is welcome, too.

5. You may write/draw 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.
~ even vanilla smut, since I'm making an exception to the usual kinky rules for the purposes of this challenge.

6. You must use the following header info:

Title:
Author/Artist:
Rating:
Pairing:
Kink(s):
Challenge: Lusty Month of May 2011
Word count [if applicable]:

It's very important for writers to include the word count because that will inform me about which Tier they're competing in.

7. We do have community tags, so please remember to use them. Most pieces should include tags for: LMOM 2011, kink(s), author/artist, and pairing (or Remus Alone). 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.

I want to thank snapealina now for volunteering to double-check your tags this year!

8. 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!

The Tiers

Tier One: Classic LMOM Stamina
Writers must produce and post a minimum of 500 words of smut every day throughout the month. Artist notes are below. Writers and artists who complete this tier will be added to the Hall of Fame list, will be able to use LMOM 2011 prize icons, and will be eligible to win the grand prize at the end of the month.

Tier Two: Speed
Writers don't have to post every day, but they must produce and post a minimum of 20,000 (smutty) words by May 31. Writers who complete this tier will be added to the Hall of Fame list, will be able to use LMOM 2011 prize icons, and will be eligible to win the grand prize at the end of the month.

Tier Three: Sprinting
Writers must produce and post at least 100 smutty words every day throughout the month. Writers who complete this tier will NOT be eligible for the grand prize, but they will go on the Hall of Fame list and be able to use LMOM 2011 prize icons.

Tier Four: Walking
Writers or Artists must post anything smutty with Remus (long or short, drawable or full art) once a week in May. That will be 5 times, including the short final week, with weeks beginning on Sundays. Writers and Artists who complete this tier will NOT be eligible for the grand prize, nor the Hall of Fame list, but they will be able to use LMOM 2011 prize icons and be acknowledged in the wrap-up post.

Artists:
Artists may compete in the Stamina or Walking tiers - they may produce and post quick B&W sketches/doodles, full color pieces, or a mixture of both, but they must post either daily or once a week (Stamina or Walking). All artists who complete one of these two tiers will be eligible for the rewards of that tier.

Here are a couple more points to clarify the tiers

You do NOT have to choose/commit to a specific Tier. If you begin the month in Tier One, miss a day, and decide to switch to Tier Two, that's fine.

If you choose Tier Two, you aren't required to post a certain amount in a certain time frame, but you do need to include smut in each section you post, and the overall story should be appropriately smutty. Writing/posting in larger chunks doesn't exempt anyone from the smut component of the challenge.

If you use quoted material as an epigraph, you should not include it in your word count.


And that's it! If you have any questions, feel free to ask here. Happy perving! ^_^

P.S. Insanejournal Downtime Contingency - If InsaneJournal is down for a significant amount of time and you miss the posting deadline because of it, you may post your entry in your journal and then come to Pervy within 1 day of IJ coming back up to repost the missing post (or posts) in its entirety here with an additional link back to your journal entry so I can check the timestamps. Rather than taking a chance on what I think is Significant time, though, it would be better to create ahead by a day or two and post when the day begins instead of waiting until the last minute. Basically, I know IJ has been a bit up and down lately, and I'm willing to be flexible, but only to a certain point. So please plan accordingly.

McKay is going to step away from modding this year, which leaves either me or someone who has been around for this month in years past to mod. If you are interested in modding, there's about 5-6 mod posts to make throughout the month; you can see them here, and no one is going to complain if you copy and paste huge chunks of them to get the job done. I will supply the grand prize, though. If you're interested in leading the charge in May, please email me at lore13 at gmail. Replies here will not get you the job. ^_^

(Let me emphasize here, just because many of you know my fandom focus - the LMOM challenge is about Remus first, and who is he paired with, second. All characters with Remus are welcome!)

Please read the preview post from last year in preparation for this year. The only change I'm going to suggest is a "Walking" tier, because sometimes life takes over, right? ~_^ If you choose "Walking", you must post anything smutty with Remus (long or short, drawable or full art) once a week in May. That will be 5 times, including the short final week. Rewards will be the same as the "Drabble" tier.

Volunteers: Other than someone to mod or facilitate this month, we could use someone or someones to make icons and to tag. Here are last year's icons as an example. Taggers should be prepared to keep up with a moderate amount of traffic throughout the month and to double-check posters' work for missing tags. The main tags entries should have are: #lmom 2011, author or artist name, kink(s), and pairing(s). If you need tags that don't exist, you can contact me for them. Interested tagging and icon volunteers can reply here with contact info.

Here are last year's rules, which also explain exactly what LMOM is, if you want to read ahead; I doubt they will be changed much. The main rule you should know is that you can outline and prepare your work, but do not write text or create art until May 1.

So, all right! Feel that excitement? I bet Remus does!! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy perving! ^_^

Congratulations to real_life_rosy, who is our grand prize winner this year! You may choose between 6 months paid time either at Insanejournal or at Dreamwidth or the equivalent amount donated to a charity of your choice. Just leave a comment letting me know your preference.

Big thanks to katekintail and unbroken_halo for providing our gift icons this year! All winners may use as many of these icons as they wish. Enjoy!

( LMOM 2010 Gift Icons )

It's time to determine our grand prize winner! Although the votes are visible to all, I've set the poll so that only members of the community may vote.

As an aside, if you apply for membership to the community, please read the rules on the profile and take note that an age statement or date of birth with the year must be publicly visible on your profile.

The poll will remain open through Monday, and I'll post the results along with the gift icons on Tuesday.


Poll #5264
Open to: Friends, results viewable to: All

Vote for the grand prize winner of LMOM 2010

Congratulations once again to everyone who made it through the month! Your smut stamina is to be commended. :D

The following is a list of the winners and which Tier they won in. If I've left anyone off or put them in the wrong Tier, please let me know in the next 24 hours. Tomorrow, I'll post the poll, and the community will vote for the grand prize winner. Please note that only Tier One and Tier Two winners are eligible for the grand prize, as explained in the descriptions of each Tier.


Tier One - a minimum of 500 words or 1 art piece daily
bonfoi
katekintail
nimrod_9
real_life_rosy
snapealina
sweetmelodykiss
unbroken_halo


Tier Two - a minimum of 20,000 words by the end of the month
eprime


Tier Three - a minimum of 100 words daily
None

Congrats to everyone who finished out the month! We're going to give you and Remus a little rest now, and I hope that our watchers will take the next few days to catch up on the month-long porn-o-rama and leave our participants some comments. This challenge is time-consuming and draining, so a little extra love would be appreciated, I'm sure!

I've been AFK for the holiday weekend and just got home, so I'm behind on the wrapping up process. I'll have the winners list and grand prize winner poll up in the next day or two.

The grand prize winner will have a choice of paid time or the equivalent donation to a charity of their choosing. Actually, I still get email from the RSPCA letting me know how I can save hedgehogs because of LMOM.

Is anyone interested in helping with the LMOM tags? I've added some, but I haven't been keeping up diligently, so I'm sure I'm missing a few. If you can, comment to let me know.

Also, we never had any volunteers to create icons, so I'm not sure we'll have them this year. If anyone wants to whip some up right quick, that would be great! Leave a comment if you're interested.

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.

And it looks like a few people have already gotten started with that, so let me hurry and post the rules!

The Seventh Annual Lusty Month of May Marathon:

The goal is simple: write/draw and post smut here during the month of May in accordance with one of the three tiers. Writers/artists who complete Tier One or Tier Two are eligible for the grand prize, and 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 prefer. 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 scribbulusink @ gmail.com.)

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy perving! :D

Towards the end of the month, I'll post the official rules and such, but since we've reached mid-month, I wanted to start gearing up for next month and the...

Seventh Annual Lusty Month of May Marathon!

For those who haven't been around to experience the past six years - every year in May, pervy_werewolf hosts a month-long challenge, and we'll be using the tier system again since people seemed to respond well to it last year.

( The tiers )

The challenge is open to writers and artists, and all het and slash ships are allowed as long as Remus is involved in some way, even if only as a voyeur, but Remus must be involved. The minimum rating is PG13 for both stories and art.

You may start writing/drawing and posting once it's May 1 in your time zone, but you may not write/draw ahead. In other words, don't write/draw something on April 30 and have it ready to post at midnight on May 1. You start creating on May 1.

I'll be providing daily prompts for inspiration again this year. You won't be required to use them, but if you need a nudge, you can use one of the prompts.

I'll post the full list of rules closer to the end of the month, but I hope people will start thinking about participating and what they might like to do. In past years, we've had a wide array of pairings and submissions, and I'd love for this year to be just as big and smutty.

If you're an artist or good with graphics and you'd like to help create banners, icons, and other such graphics for the winners, please email me at scribbulus_ink @ insanejournal.com. I'm looking for help in creating cool gift graphics for all of the writers and artists who finish out the month.

For posterity's sake, here are the winners of the past six years:

First - I need someone who is willing to keep up with the tagging during Lusty Month of May this year. I'm going to be AFK at different times during the month, so I won't be around consistently to manage it myself. Any volunteers?

Speaking of LMOM, we're already off to a grand start! May is traditionally devoted to LMOM, so there won't be another prompt/challenge this month, although you're free to use the weekly prompts as inspiration during May, even if you aren't participating in LMOM, and as always, any Remus-centric and pervy stories/art are welcome here at any time, even if they aren't for the monthly challenge.

You must be a member of the community to post and to see locked posts (there are a few), so if you're planning to participate in LMOM and you aren't a member, you need to join ASAP. Ditto if you want to see the locked posts. Locking posts is strongly suggested for underage sex, bestiality, and/or incest; authors/artists may lock posts at their own discretion as well, if it helps them feel more comfortable about posting here.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Happy perving!

Towards the end of the month, I'll post the official rules and such, but since we've reached mid-month, I wanted to start gearing up for next month and the...

Sixth Annual Lusty Month of May Marathon!

For those who haven't been around to experience the past five years - every year in May, pervy_werewolf hosts a challenge to see who can write at least 500 words of smut or draw a doodle/sketch every day throughout the month of May.

In otder to shake things up a bit, I've decided to do things differently this year with three challenge tiers.

( The tiers )

The challenge is open to writers and artists, and all het and slash ships are allowed as long as Remus is involved in some way, even if only as a voyeur, but Remus must be involved. The minimum rating is PG13 for both stories and art.

Happy perving!

In case anyone was wondering, yes, we will be having our annual Lusty Month of May Marathon this year! Now that the marathon has reached its 6th year, I thought it was time to change things up a bit, so there will be two - count 'em, TWO - ways for authors and artists to win this year.

More details will be forthcoming as May draws closer, so stay tuned!

This has happened more than once in the last few weeks, so I wanted to remind visitors to the comm who want to be members that we do have a policy regarding membership, which is clearly stated in the community profile, conveniently located near the top of the page so you can't miss it.

Membership requests can and will be rejected if the one simple guideline - i.e. you need a DOB or age statement in your profile - isn't followed.

While you can still friend the comm and see public posts, there are locked posts that are visible to members only, because I strongly urge posts containing bestiality, explicit under age sex, and/or incest to be locked. Non-members may not post to the community either, so there are some benefits to membership.

As one last wrap-up event for LMOM 2008, I'd like to present a few icons to all the winners with a special invitation to ghot and zephre, two fantastic artists who made it almost the entire month!

The first batch of icons are for use by those on the winning list only. The second batch is for both winners and our two honorable mentions to choose from. These icons are for exclusive use by the winners, ghot, and zephre only.

( Batch One: )

( Batch Two: )

I apologize for taking so long to wrap things up, but RL got in the way, and I haven't been able to keep up with fandom activities until today.

The results of the grand prize poll are here, and our winner this year is snapelike! Congratulations! Please let me know if you'd prefer 6 months paid IJ time, permanent extra user pics, or a donation to the charity of your choice for the amount equivalent to 6 months paid IJ time.
