Kinky Scribbles Congrats for 2025!

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!

 

Participants

Please join me in celebrating and supporting these writers by reading their work and sharing it to your friends!

If you’re able, please consider following them on social media and sending a tip, a Kofi, or subscribing to their Patreons. Now more than ever, we must support the creative people in our community!

In alphabetical order by author:

 

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

Here’s a handy flow-chart for anyone who has complicated feelings about the outcome of this year’s September Kinky Scribble challenge. Spoiler: I’m proud of you no matter the outcome!

A flowchart discussing outcomes of trying a Kinky Scribble, with three main branches of possibility. All of them end with different encouraging perspectives. Try a #KinkyScribble! Option 1: You wrote a scene, gave it minimal edits, & shared it within 24 hrs. Hooray! You created a Kinky Scribble! Good work! Enjoy your dopamine. Option 2: You started writing & didn’t like the outcome enough to share it. Oh no! Did I fail at Kinky Scribbles? Are you interested in the words you wrote? If Yes: Hooray! You have a good start on a story that interests you and could become a longer/more polished project. Good work! Enjoy your inspiration & head start. If No: That's okay. Want to try again? If Yes: go back to the start. If No: That’s okay, too. Did you write words that you wouldn’t have written otherwise? If No: Literally don’t know how you could get to that answer in this flowchart, but go off I guess. If you wrote words, I’m proud of you. If Yes: Hooray! You wrote words! No matter how you feel about those words, nobody can take away from you the fact that you made progress today. Good work! Enjoy your boosted confidence. Option 3: You started writing & realized this story wants more words, more time, &/or more edits than you can manage in 24 hours. How are you feeling about that? Option 3.1: Oh no! Did I fail at Kinky Scribbles? (Go back to progression of Option 2) Option 3.2: Oh cool! I’m curious, what else can I do with this? Hooray! You have a good start on a story that interests you and could become a longer/more polished project. Good work! Enjoy your inspiration & head start.

 

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.
