“Elle, look how big the contest is growing! It’s bursting through the proverbial ceiling!” – Njord
Congratulations to the many participants of my third annual September Kinky Scribble Challenge! While we can write kinky scribbles at any time of the year, it’s fun to try and make a collective effort like this. The goal of the event was to help people write and release stories quickly to help build confidence and have fun seeing what we could create.
I am absolutely AMAZED at the turnout this year! Last year we had seven participants and nine stories. This year, 31 writers worked for far more than 60.5 hours to write 33 different stories with a whopping 46 scribbles for a record-breaking total of 70,942 words!
I’d like to give some special recognition for one writer, Butcher @bitchcassidys, who had the absolutely brilliant idea to use the challenge structure to write a 17K-word story in 14 separate scribbles over 14 days. I did a genuine double-take when I realized what you had tried! It never occurred to me anyone would write a long-form story in short scribble-bursts, but I think you had a fantastic idea. I am so delighted!
Again and again, I kept hearing from people that this community challenge helped them find motivation and even break through writer’s block by lowering the stakes and focusing on fun. The deadline doesn’t hurt, either! Well. You know what I mean. Regardless, it made me so happy and so proud to witness more than two dozen people having fun with writing and sharing what they created.
Since the start of the community challenge in 2023, together we have written 112,176 words across 57 different stories.
Wonderful work, everyone!

Don’t see your story listed here? Check that you followed my parameters, like including content tags and posting it someplace public where I could find the hashtag.
Something I discovered this year: Blusky may be hiding some posts from me in search results due to muted words. (I incorrectly assumed it would show me the posts with the grey opt in message, but apparently in searches it omits those results altogether if you have the word muted.) In light of this, I’d love extra help tracking down any I missed!
You can comment below, message me on Blusky or email me if you know of any stories that belong here. (Or if you spot any errors above.)
Next year I plan to figure out a good anonymous survey for people to submit titles, links, wordcounts, and hours worked. (I ruled out Google Forms this year because I didn’t want people to have to submit their emails.) In the future I will do my best to make a better system so no story gets left behind!
Reminder: this is not a contest and I have some hard limits due to past trauma, so I will not be reading all the stories. I have no way to vet all the authors or confirm the tags are correct. I will only include links to public stories, and stories that offer content tags. For accessibility and consent, if your stories include themes from the Top 16 Content Tags and you do not tag them, I will not share those until you add tags at the start of the story. I reserve the right to not feature a story for any reason.
Success? Failure? Progress! A flowchart

Elle, where’s your scribble? A lesson learned
You may have noticed that for the first time, my own name is missing from the list of participants! Well, I wrote a story, but then I realized something that I will be incorporating into my suggestions for future years. Let me explain.
