The Erotic Quill is an 8 round series of challenges followed by an invite only grand final, hosted by the D O M and DLC-Jem. To qualify for the grand final you will need to have entered at least 6 of the previous rounds. There is no extra benefit to completing all 8 rounds.
The Erotic Quill Programme:
Challenge 1: Vanilla Essence - Picture Prompt.
Challenge 2: Erotica outside.
Challenge 3: Fetish flare.
Challenge 4: Gay/lesbian/bisexual delights.
Challenge 5: Dominance and submission.
Challenge 6: Long Term Relationship how to keep the flame burning.
Challenge 7: Orgasmic orgies.
Challenge 8: Dark Deviance or Flights of Fantasy or combination of the two.
Grand Final: To be announced.
There will be a prompt to get the quills flowing with each round, pictures, word banks, colours, etc.
We want you challenge our senses, provoke our desire, torment us to the point of distraction.
There is room for soft sensuality and explicit erotica as is your choice to write, please label appropriately.
Rules:
1: All poets must be adults, over 18. Sorry kids this is not for you. This is a legal requirement by which we must abide and we cannot lower it,
2: All entries must be labelled appropriately. Please label with sensual or explicit.
3: We are not the offensive language police, if you want to use such words please make sure it is in context. Please note the use of symbols for a word is not erotic!
4: Please give credit for any artwork you use.
5: There is a round dedicated to homosexuality but please feel free to use same sex in any round.
6: You may edit and change your work at anytime, it's how it is on the day we judge it that matters. We will not be judging until after the contest closes.
Challenge 1: Vanilla Essence
A nice gentle start, or is it?
Let your quill explore the art of love-making, kink will come later.
We want long slow sex that lasts all night or a heated moment of intense passion or anywhere in between.
Your prompt is the photograph above: Embrace by Sash

In anticipation

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on February 7
- Rewards: Gold: 600, Silver: 300, Bronze: 100
- Final notes: Thank you all for some wonderfully heated quilling. I know Sash whose photography was the prompt is thrilled by the creativity her picture inspired. DOM and I have been at loggerheads judging this, but we have kissed and made up (grins) and reached a mutually satisfying result.
Our appetites are whetted and we eagerly await what you have in store for us in the next round, so pens at the ready as we'll post the next contest tomorrow.
Thank you once again
DOM and DLC

Stimulating
certainly will excite the senses giving thought as to what or which aspect to write about. I do know if I'm "up" for this one or not, but I'll give her a try. -
Looks to be a delightful contest. I shall have to see if I can caress my muse to the proper level of delight and join in the fun.

Love, Tom B. -
i'm very excited about this one...
i've been waiting for a contest such as this!!
woot woot!!! -
Thanks for the trophy. I wasn't sure if I was giving you what you were looking for, but I am glad I guessed correctly. I enjoyed the opportunity to develop an orgasmic out of body experience. It is tricky doing it in poetry 'cause it is always how much to show and what metaphors to wrap things in. Again my thanks for the gold.
Peace & Light,
Tom B. -

More than welcome you deserved it.
I find the balance between what to show and what not to show varies with each piece I do, art or poetry, so I guess the level is what is right for you as a poet on the day.
Blessed be
