    I think it’s top/dom sweeping a sub/bottom off their feet, need to go back and check. But I can’t find that thread

    Hey @Moonpearl
    I checked the timer which said I only have 5 hours left but 11:59 for me is in 10 hours. How much time do I have?

    The blog post is here: https://forum.novelupdates.com/blogs/the-yuri-garden-anthology-event.3439/

    And your prompt is: "A physically strong and beautiful seme (top) sweeps an uke (bottom) off her feet"

    (Don't forget that it needs to be turned in for your editing extension in the next five hours, though~!)

    Do I have to show you the draft? Or can I just take my 2 weeks editing?

    You have to send the whole draft to me in a personal message.

    It's mostly just to show that you do have a completed story and so that I can advise you if you need to make particular edits to fit the rules.
    However, there have been a few cases so far where I couldn't grant the extension because the story would have had to be rewritten completely to fit the prompt - so I have to make sure before I can probably grant one.

    Oh, this one is still in Discover I think? Nice found. Let's hope the author gets enough views to become a featured one! ^^)/

    I wish there was a real synopsis to the series though... But I'm honestly tempted to give it a shot just because it is based on a true story.

    Prompt number 8 has been released and can be reserved by anyone else who wishes to try their hand at it.
    It's this one:
    Two adolescent girls questioning their sexuality end up falling in love

    Please remember that your story must still comply with the rules, especially content rule number 5:
    No sexual content with characters below the age of 18. This includes but is not limited to sex involving those characters, sexual contact involving those characters (e.g. hickeys, fondling/groping), and the sexualisation of those characters (e.g. using erotic description).

    Note that, due to the wording of this prompt, your characters must fall in love over the course of questioning their sexuality, and over the course of your story.

    This one seems damn hard to write though. You wanna delve deep into the psychology of the characters in order to get that "questioning" part down pat

    Hm... Maybe it's because I've lived with this myself, but it doesn't seem particularly hard to me. :blobsweat_2:

    I don't mind answering questions if people need help with aspects of their stories.

    There's also the Yuri Writing Help Room over on Scribble Hub where you can ask such questions (and I'll probably be one of the people answering anyway).

    I feel the same as Pearl-chan, it doesn't very hard to me~

    That, and this is also a somewhat common trope in GL manga too... You most likely saw it a few times already?

    I did and I'm forgetful:blob_grin:
    Well, I probably subconsciously ignored it because I subconsciously (this word is like the most annoying word to type) treated the idea of writing the prompt as something you do without using a reference from other works. Yeah, I need to work on my creative thinking

    Everything you write will always be inspired on something else! Subconsciously or not! XD

    It doesn't hurt to take inspiration from your own baggage~

    I've been hungering for a story where the favoured concubine falls for the empress and they take control of the country in secret. They free all the women in the royal harem so that they can go and fall for any person they please and they make things for women in general in the kingdom. I'm just longing for political intrigue mixed with revolution, equal rights and lesbianism. Does a story like this exist. I don't care if it's western or not, original or fanfiction as long as there's no rape. Please yuri goddess answer my prayers and bless me with a story like this.

    The only thing I can think of off the top of my head (that isn't already on your reading list) is CrimsonCarnation's "Perfect Day". It's the short story that was the winner of our writing competition last year. It's fluffy rather than political, though.

    You can read it here: https://www.scribblehub.com/series/46910/the-perfect-day/

    Thanks so much for that. That was so good. And there was no annoying emperor to fight for favour. Ah, my soul can rest. For now though, as I am never satisfied.
