NC-17 Fiction Challenge
Posted by SilentG
Premise. NC-17 stories written for shock value, or by people who can't write, have tarnished a lot of good works and great writers with an unfairly broad brush. So, let's show 'em how it's done! Sit down right now and write a story that's smutty, or squicky, or violent, but so good that people will say "I don't usually read that kind of stuff, but I couldn't put it down."
They may never be posted on FF.net, but there is a place in HP Fandom for well-written fiction that has a deserved NC-17 rating. In the midst of all the controversy, let's have some fun writing one. Or two. Or three.
Challenge Criteria. I want this to be wide open, so there are only two major rules:
The story must actually warrant its NC-17 rating. Your story can be a romance, seduction, non-con, adventure, mystery, comedy, parody, whatever you like it to be, but, in addition to being primarily SS/HG (obviously), it must actually contain enough adult content to be logically rated NC-17.
The story must be a high-quality example of your work. The challenge is to create a story whose quality transcends the rating. The language, plot development, characterisation and ingenuity must captivate the minds of readers. This is a particularly good challenge for people who are shy about writing anything that would warrant an NC-17 rating. This is your chance! Go for it!
Other Criteria. I don't really want to do this, but I guess challenges always have goofy little things that have to be in them, so...here goes...
Velvet. There must be velvet somewhere in the story.
Danger. There must be an element of danger in the piece. It can be big or small, serious or humorous, critical or incidental to the plot, but it must be there.
Voyeurism. There must be someone who 'likes to watch'. Who views, and what, and in what circumstance, is up to you.
Rules. What can I say?
Please have fun. This is a chance for authors to practice our chops and spread our wings.
Post. At least one chapter, any length, before the deadline, in the Challenge folder; or in your own folder with a link in the Challenge folder. Your story can be a single or multiple-chapter story, and it doesn't have to be completed before the challenge ends.
Deadline. The Challenge Deadline is November 18, 2002.
Disclaimers. Be sure to include adequate disclaimers to prevent people from reading your story who probably shouldn't. ;^}
