In truth, Ian’s story takes this one by a nose, over four other excellent pieces about having a penis, wanting a penis, or craving/envying someone else’s. The Goodnights’ photo, as well as Rose Monrou’s and Molly Moore’s, brought out some seriously phallic urges in a number of authors, and this slot could easily have been filled by Oleander Plume, Tabitha Rayne, Anna Sky or Bawdy Bloke instead, all of whose entries I absolutely loved.

I gave it to Ian because I think he gets the dynamic between his two characters spot-on, even though as readers we don’t hear from one of them until the very end. It’s playful and mischievous, but there’s also an edge to it, and we get the sense that what happens next might venture into some pretty kinky territory. His touch is really deft, and the way he allows the transformation of his female character to unfold feels smooth, natural, and very insightful. I loved this story.

3rd Place: If you go down to the woods today, by HappyComeLucky (inspired by Bawdy Bloke)

Prize: Pyxis Finger Massager vibrator from Vibrator Kingdom; and a paperback copy of ‘Curious’ from Dreamspinner Press

I’m sure the author of this story would be the first to admit that it’s not the most polished piece among the contenders. There are one or two minor errors, which a more experienced writer might have smoothed out before submitting it, and occasionally the flow breaks down a bit. However, I thought the idea behind it was really clever and incredibly sexy, and the whole thing is told with a dash of flair that more than makes up for the odd bumpy moment. It’s a piece of erotica with no sex scene, no orgasm, and no physical contact between the two characters, but it still managed to turn me on: for a debut piece of writing, it shows a huge amount of promise, and I hope the lady behind it puts pen to paper again in the future.

Wow! I’m speechless.
I’m thrilled to have taken any prize at all in such a strong field, and I’m so pleased that my story managed to tease the right erogenous zones. I’m honoured. Thank you.
Of course, I couldn’t have done it without the smoking-hot image from Ruby & Mrs Goodnight. It really made the story pop out of nowhere.

Also, congratulations to HappyComeLucky for the double-whammy: inspiring a seriously sexy story AND writing one herself. Very well done.

Thank you so much for choosing my story. I feel very humble to have come third. I still can’t quite believe it. Thank you for your comments too. You are spot on about the errors etc. I am now so glad that I didn’t chicken out of submitting it. I have my man’s encouragement to thank for that.

Congratulations to both Malin James and Ian Jade. I found both of their stories really powerful to read.
