To celebrate our 3rd birthday, For The Girls once again
conducted an erotic fiction competition. Our aim was to
uncover the ultimate example of sexy writing created expressly
for women. Our theme this time around was cunnilingus.
This year
we received just over 50 entries. Reading through them all
was quite an experience. There were a huge range of sexual
scenarios and viewpoints on offer. There were plenty of
blow-by-blow accounts of intercourse, but there were also
a number of very well-written pieces that captured the erotic
imagination. It's always nice to read a story with nicely
rounded characters, a good plot and a real effort to build
sexual tension. We received quite a few lesbian/girl-girl
stories this year, as well as a surprising number of stories
dwelling on infidelity.
Once again our shortlist contained more stories than prizes,
so choosing our winners and honorable mention stories was
the result of much re-reading and contemplation. We have
decided to award 1 month's membership to For The Girls to
all our winners.
The judges
paid attention to the following when reading an entry: characterisation,
setting, good sex and of course, the necessary act of cunnilingus.
Writing technique, spelling, grammar and phrasing were important,
as was the ability of the writer to follow our rules.
In the end
we chose the following fabulous stories. Congratulations
to the winners!
WINNER
Teaching Teresa by Gwen Masters.
Judge's comments: Gwen has captured that special
moment when a woman experiences cunnilingus for the first
time. Beautifully written with believeable characters, this
story approaches the subject matter with humour. romance
and emotion, offering up a fantasy to which many women can
relate.

RUNNER
UP
Gloria by Jordan Castillo Price
Judge's comments: This story is slide-off-the-seat
material. The idea of a glory hole for women is original
and quirky and the concept is realised well via the male
point of view. Never mind the logistics of it, this is sexual
fantasy at its finest.
Jordan wins

THIRD
PRIZE
A Smile for Celeste by Alisha Steele
Judge's comments: This story tells of the sexual
re-awakening of an older divorced woman at the hands of
a young man. The reader feels for the main character and
the sex is very erotic. A pleasure to read.

HONORABLE
MENTIONS
We're happy to award Honorable Mention prizes to the following
stories, which were all very impressive.
Paint by
Skyler White
Judge's comments: "Paint" stood out because
it was different. This story has been very cleverly written
and it doesn't use cliches. The description of being "painted"
is distinctly sensual and it makes the reader feel what
the female protagonist is feeling. It's very sexy too. This
story was shortlisted for the top three but didn't quite
make it.
Guess Who's
Coming To Dinner by Andrea Dale
Judge's comments: It's not often a story can make
you feel horny and hungry at the same time, but
this one had me hankering for lobster and asparagus. Combining
dominance and submission with food is great fun. Small grammatical
errors detract but overall this is a fabulous story.
Perverts
by Nikki Sinclair
Judge's comments: The distinctly male, working-class
viewpoint makes this piece of fiction feel like a cross
between a standard porno story and Brokeback Mountain,
but behind the swagger there's an amusing story that turned
me on. The characters are interesting and the twist at the
end is good fun.
The Silk
Scarf Appetizer by N. S. Faulk
Judge's comments: This story of a two cyberlovers
and a blindfold provides a journey into the realm of the
senses. The ending feels unfinished but the eroticism of
the preceding paragraphs lessens the frustration.
Temptations
In The Heartland by Nicole Holland
Judge's comments: Nicole's piece provides a welcome
burst of humour at the start, and setting an erotic story
in potato country is certainly different. The sex scene
goes on a little too long but overall this is a very enjoyable
story.
I'm Just
A Depeche Mode Kind Of Girl by Annabella
Judge's comments: This story of helpless infidelity
beautifully captures the essence of sexual tension and flirting.
The rock music references are a nice touch and the sex is
hot. Occasional bad phrasing detracts but overall it's a
good read.
Adelle
by Rowan Elizabeth
Judge's comments: Despite being written in a relaxed,
first-person tone, this lesbian romance story makes for
rather intense reading. The sex scene depicting the first
touch of tongue to clit is a little too brief, but in the
context of the story it fits well.
Swing Shift
by Clayton Holiday
Judge's comments: A nice glimpse into a man's love
for his wife and her cunt, all neatly trussed into a sex
swing. The story is a little too short and needs a better
ending but the eager lustiness of the writing makes up for
it.
The Teacher
by Marci Clark
Judge's comments: This story about brief fling at
a training conference offers the thrill of flirting with
a stranger and some seriously hot sex. There's nothing too
surprising here but the story is well written and enjoyable
to read.
The Vitality
of Youth by Gwen Masters
Judge's comments: Another "older woman, younger
guy scenario" but this one is wonderful because it
subverts the standard order of sex; we get cunnilingus after
male ejaculation and it's a pleasant surprise. Once again
Gwen's writing is superb.
All Honorable
Mention stories receive $10 and 1 month's membership to
For The Girls.
We'd like to thank all the
