Wow! I wasn't expecting that! · 4:15am Jun 10th, 2019

Turns out, all that extra work I put in paid off!

Last month, I wrote a story for the Incest is Wincest May Mother's Day Contest. Originally, I wasn't planning on entering the fic into a contest. I just wanted to write a story for Mother's Day this year because I simply had an idea for one. In the week and a half between my wisdom teeth surgery and Mother's Day itself, I spent long hours making some substantial revisions to the story based on prereader feedback.

I'm very grateful they all offered me advice, because without their help, the story wouldn't have turned out as well as it did. I'm elated to say that I ended up actually winning first place in the contest! Without a cash prize, competition was nowhere near as crazy as last month's, but I almost never enter writing contests, and this is the first one I've actually won.

So, yeah, it was really awesome having this pop up today. I've been slogging really hard on my main project, and was planning on blogging about that today, until this came up, so I'll withhold that little blog for tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone who gave me feedback on the story! This shot in the arm should hopefully see me through the next leg of my writing journey.

Gary fucking Oak out!

Bring your A-game this month and you might get that $100.

Congratulations, but I'm not really surprised. Even though there were quite a few good fics, yours was the one I enjoyed the most ^^

Good job GaryOak! We always knew you could do it.
The only one who ever doubted you, was yourself.
So knock it off!

Heh. I wasn't planning on entering. I'll see if I can come up with a decent idea and have more than three days to get it out there (aka what happened with the April contest).

Thank you!

Cheers, my dude. I wasn't too sure if my Brazzers-esque story would be able to match the incest stories with more robust(y) backstories.
