December 2025 Image Prompt Contest

Image prompt contest enjoyers, rejoice! After a DISASTEROUS diversion into a slightly modified format last month, we’re going back to old faithful this December with another album of curated image prompts. The rules are the same as they always are, so veterans of our scene will already know how this works, but take a gander at the guidelines below if you’re seeing our contest format for the first time.

1. Choose an image from the album here.
2. Write a short piece of erotic fiction based on what you see, and post it to the subreddit using the December 2025 Contest post flair. Remember to tell us what image you’re submitting for – something like “I’m submitting for image #10” is fine.
3. Rake in the upvotes. The best stories of the month will earn writers one notch on the coveted Top Author tag, which is a surefire way to build a following of dedicated fans.

That’s it! We’ve had some really exciting entries come out of previous contests, and we’re really excited to be returning to a format that people have really enjoyed in the past, so I hope there’s plenty here to pique your interest. We get a lot of messages from people about how to do well, both in contests and just general submissions, so keep the following in mind if you’re gunning for a Top Author tag:

• Our traffic is highest Sunday-Tuesday, so consider saving your posts till then to maximize your viewership.
• A good story beats an exciting prompt. Very few readers actually care about what image you’re picking, so grab one that sparks a cool idea and show off your craftsmanship.
• Try not to write the obvious. There’s lots of obvious exposition in these images, but the story you draw from it can do so much more than what’s suggested. Try to subvert expectations and take your reader somewhere they didn’t plan to find themselves.
• Engagement matters. If you care about winning, reply to your comments, engage with your readers, and keep things light.
• Remember, all our rules still apply. No gore, incest, noncon, celebs, or futa.
• You’re welcome to genderbend as needed – sometimes it’s tough to find a wide enough variety of images that suggest compelling stories, so do what you need to in order to craft your narrative.

Oh, and we’re still trying to line up at least one sponsor so that we can give away actual prizes for this at least once, but begging for free stuff takes time, so please bear with us.

Anyway, have a blast, remember to support your favourite authors with upvotes and lovely comments, and have a blast reading and writing this month, got it? Good. Get busy.
