Bothered Stories Gold Star Program Gold Star

We are accepting submissions of short form erotic fiction (2500-5000 words) beginning immediately through March 31st, 2025 to be featured early in our product launch. If contracted we pay $0.10/word once your piece is in final form. Please apply through the Duosuma platform but reach out with questions to [email protected].

Great Bothered Stories have the following:

• External plot: an external plot with a sequence of scenes that propels the storyline forward. This includes an external conflict or moments of plot tension that serve to threaten the completion of the plot line and internal character arc.
• Internal character arc: main character has an internal conflict or struggle they overcome over the course of the story. This provides the "so what?" to the plot line, injecting meaning into what happens in the story.
• Sex scene(s): are integral to the external plot line as well as the internal character arc. [A word of caution here: great stories are ones in which the sex contributes to both the external and internal storylines, but is not the sole source of conflict.] Sexual tension is built between the characters throughout, and the reader is left thinking, but feeling good in their body.

Just the Sex is exceedingly well written porn – think graphic and explicit. Get readers invested in the characters and scene, turn them on (through vivid and sensory body experiences), and escalate sex acts to a mind-blowing ending – all within 869 words.

Check out what we’re looking for in a great Just the Sex piece and what makes this unique content type especially fun for the reader and author.

For this submission period, we are looking for anything summer themed--think beach, travel, flings, carnivals, fireworks, and delight us with your erotic imagination.
