I once sat on the editorial committee of a short fiction magazine, but eventually quit because stories were being chosen  on ideological or other very subjective grounds, rather than pure merit. So don't be disappointed Josh, or at least don't take it as a reflection on your writing. Contests and short fiction publishers are often crawling with agendas.

I want to thank everyone who read this story and voted for it.  The winners were announced and I won the 10th prize.  While I'm glad to get the $10 gift certificate, I was very disappointed at the results.

There were only about 30 entries and I looked at most of them, finding many of them very poorly written and not particularly interesting (and I like to read a lot of straight stories as well as gay ones).  I thought I was a shoe-in for at least being in the top three, but obviously not.  The person who runs the site said only that the judges liked the 'rough sex' portion of the story and the age difference between Mark and Blake.  I guess you have to write what appeals to the judges, but I don't want to do that.  They'd like me to write another story for them, but I don't think so.  I'll do most of my writing for Literotica and Nifty in the future unless something else turns up.

What I'd really like to do is to self-publish a collection of my stories and I'll be looking into that.

Lastly, I've entered a new story of mine into Literotica's Valentine's Day story competition.  I'll post a separate blog on that when it becomes available on the website.

Just read - very good story. Well written and caused a good hard-on ;)  Full marks voted

Hi Josh,

Wow!  Your story is most excellent.  I very much appreciated the story line.  It is one of the most erotic pieces of Gay porn I have ever read and I have read plenty, and even written some myself.  I also found your language arts skills to be well above average.  If I were to grade you on this aspect alone, you would receive an A+ with extra credit added.  I love the language arts, though I did not much appreciate them as a student.  Now, as one who greatly appreciates fine writing, I find much that is far below average, so finding a Gay porn story that is not only exquisitely erotic, but so very well written, is quite a pleasant experience.  I rated your story as highly as possible and I hope you win first prize in the contest.  I also hope you will continue to write Gay porn and perhaps publish it on GBT in a blog.  Chat me up if you like; I love socializing with like-minded Gay folks here on the best little Gay porn host on the Internet.  You may also appreciate a tour of my own blog. 

Hugs        Harry

The contest will end on Sunday, so if you want to read it and vote, now's the time.

I thought it was very good and wish you well in the contest

Good luck, Josh!  I read and enjoyed your story and thought you had a good amount of detail in your writing.  I voted for you and hope my friends at GBT follow suit.

Great story!  I enjoyed the flow of the action and the buildup through the various scenes!  Nice work and hope that you do well in the contest!!

i read and rated it highly. surprised amazon is sponsoring porn writing. good job! it made me hard visualizing myself as the 18 year old, but without the dad.

Earlier I read it and gave it five stars.  Nice work. Forgot to come back and let you know I did it.

Great story Josh, gave you 5 stars in both ratings. I see a few of our fellow members also enjoyed it!

I read the whole thing a few hours ago and thought you did a great job. Actually found myself engaged with the story and characters as much as is possible in erotic writing (you know, where you're drawn in and forget you're reading a story). So thumbs up and gave you 5 star votes.
