Mercy! Mercy! That Dang Nabed PERCY!

Heat Beneath Your Wings

I am in the process of setting up a contest to be called "Heat Beneath your Wings." The purpose of the contest is to foster and encourage writers to use erotica (romantica) in the context of their other works. I like to read erotica in any form but mostly I like to see it used in a genre to take a good piece of writing to the next level. Many writers shy away from the heat and in my view often miss an opportunity to soar. Thus this contest will evaluate a submission based on the following criteria. First will be the intrisnic heat factor. Second will be the skill with which it is integrated into a larger work. Third is the ability of the heat to elevate the larger work. Finally there will be a look at how the heat crowds the acceptability of the genre. Anyone submitting will provide an entry via bitem of less than a thousand words. In addition he/she will refer the judge(s) to where the larger context work (Chapter, Short Story, etc) is stored in their porfolio. The judging criteria will provide a review of sorts and give the author feedback on several important aspects of the literary work.
