[ruffles around desk] Goddammit, where is that schedule?
[gives up] You know what, forget it. I at least remember some of the topics we're going to look at, so I can draw up a new schedule easily enough.
This is getting to be a habit.So, starting this month, I'm going to be implementing some of your ideas. And one of them—I think, I didn't reread the suggestion thread before writing this—was "Tales of Escape". Now I think the idea is fairly self-explanatory, but because not everyone will probably agree, I'll lay it out for all:
Your story will look at the victim escaping, and the aftermath also. Now, this is something that a lot of us have included in our writings, myself included. But this will be the bulk of the story. Which also means we need to know a couple of things in your story also:
- What are they escaping from? (For example, long-term sexual enslavement, rape of opportunity)
- How did they escape? (Did they have help, or did they escape alone? Was it planned, or was the captor just careless?)
The style of story you wish to write is up to you. You could do a news article, a journal-style narrative, or a traditional written tale.
There will be one additional rule implemented for this contest, though:
I will be doubling down on content warnings this month. Now, forum rules state that warnings are necessary because of the sexual content. However, because of the nature of these stories,
you will need to extend these warnings to non-sexual content as well if it is present in your story. Your story will be disqualified if you fail to disclose any sensitive material of any kind in your warning at the start of voting.
Good luck, folks, and good writing.
