Announcing our Obsession competition

Quote by wxt55uk

There are 109 entries, which I suspect will increase by a few once the site is fully working again. I feel that is a good turnout for a competition, especially as you mention, maybe it's not a theme writers would necessarily choose. 😊

However, it is a very broad theme, and I can honestly say you could write an 'obsession' story about just about anything... which includes a Brussels sprout. To understand that, you need to have read the competition story entries. 🙄😉

So far, I have read 107 competition stories (yes, maybe I have too much free time), and in general, the standard of story and the writing to go with them is exceptionally high.

Well done, David. Your comments, likes, and encouragement keep us writing and are hugely appreciated by me, and I'm sure I speak for every author here.

Re reader numbers, bear in mind that we now will get no offline viewers from the UK because of the online safety bill. Casual surfers can no longer read stories - they need to create an account.

Hello Readers 😇. I’m excited to share my first story published at Lush.

This piece explores the dangerous pull of desire—how a single, fleeting spark can grow into something far more consuming than we ever expect. It isn’t about justifying what’s forbidden, but about revealing the raw, unvarnished truth behind wanting what we know we shouldn’t.

I poured my heart into this one, and I’d be truly grateful if you’d take a few minutes to read it. If it resonates with you, your likes, comments, and shares would mean the world to me. If it doesn’t, I’d value your honest thoughts—because every bit of feedback helps me grow as a writer. Thank you 😊

Jen extended the deadline to Oct 3 because of the site glitches.

That is a wonderful idea and gives writers a chance to beat the deadline

Now that the competition has closed, I make a final tally of 113 entries. 😊

I send my best wishes to those who entered and thank those who read, liked, and commented on the stories.

I am sure I read the closing date was changed to Friday 10th. That's another competition I have now missed and for sure it was a podium entry. pffft....

When will the competition winners be announced? Where would we find this on the site? I’m curious to see if any of my favourite entries are in the top 3!

There'll be an announcement in the Site Announcements thread this coming week when the votes are all in.

The winners will also be posted on the Competitions page shortly after.

Thank you that’s really helpful to know!

I'm feeling really good about this one. Can I have my prize in bitcoins?

Yes, even if you don't win. I've got bags full.

The announcement date says today, but with so many entries I wouldn’t be surprised if it was delayed a bit.

But....but....but.....It's my money, & I want it now. Time to get JG Wentworth on the phone.

😆 Like I'll actually even make the top 10 after having read all but three or so of the entries so far.

All but 3! Well done! It's still not too late to read mine and get your total up by one. Lol.
