You know what this site really doesn’t have enough of? Clopfics! In order to rectify this dire lack, Dirty Little Secret is thrilled to announce a new contest: Dirty Little Secret’s Dirty Little Contest!
This contest is for clopfics only, and places a high emphasis on bringing in new authors who have never written a clopfic before – that’s why there are three different prizes (totalling $75) that can only be won by newer authors. There are plenty of prizes for more experienced clopfic authors, too, but these special prizes are there to make sure that inexperienced writers still have a great chance at winning! And there are 30 fun prizes to try for, so there’s plenty to go around!
Clopfics should be between 1,000 and 10,000 words and feature show-canon ponies as the main characters. See the Dirty Little Secret’s Dirty Little Contest group page for the full rules and list of prizes to try for!

That... that's it? Just write a clopfic? before May? Damn, okay. I was gonna do that anyway
I sure don't qualify for the first timer slot, though. 
Does... Does he not have the "mature filter" clicked...? Somehow?
Unless he means good clopfics, then I can agree.

I wrote a fetishy story as a present, and while it does have sex in it, I dont know if it counts as a proper clopfic. The whole first half of it's basically an adventure.
You announced it before the contest started!
Time to make a few edits and make this work anyway!
Oh well ...
Oh, wow. An 18+ contest on a SFW site post? What decision went into this? I thought these were being held off on. Either way, cool!
My relevant clopfics are all too long!
I got a few ideas. I'll see what I can do for you.
Okay I have been summoned and my body is ready!
A no hinged, no limit, canon only, with 4 months time to write a clopfic?!
I think I love you.....DATE ME!
Hey, was thinking of writing a clopfic, this is the perfect excuse!

Just look at the feature box right now. Only one of the stories in it is a clopfic! This is unacceptable! We’ve been slacking!
5178979
Intentionally a low bar for entry because I want to encourage as many people as possible! ^.^
5178995
5178998
Needs to be published after this contest is announced, anyway. Looking to create new clopfics!
5178997
I’m actually kind of shocked that it’s allowed myself!
5179000
Well, okay. But I think my girlfriend is going to be mad.
5179003
Now that’s the kind of response I hoped this contest would provoke!
5179004
I believe you've just activated my trap card! Get it? Trap pony? Also that that doesn't make you less desirable.
All jokes aside, I am looking forward to this one.
5179004
The only problem would be no OCs. I'll have to get creative!
Oh my!
... can I slide in under the bar as a "newer" author, since I wrote one before but it was a bit of a fluke, and I wasn't much planning on a repeat performance outside of this?
5179010
Yeah, that cut off a major stream of clopfiction energy for me as well. But do not despair for this is only a chance to improve your game.
Starting the new year off right, I see.
5179004
That's fine! I won't be playing to win, but it's fun to enter, and I have a number of these sorts of stories lying uninished in my scraps folder. This will encourage me to finish one!
This definitely won't end poorly.
I currently have mature turned off, and I can still see this contest. The group is hidden, but the words of the contest and rules are not. Is this intentional?
5179014
5179016
I’m afraid not, sorry. Got to be consistent about it. As the contest goes on, I’m going to try to stick to the rules as they were originally written and taking them very literally. It’s the only way I can be sure I’m being fair to everyone.
Still 27 other prizes to try for, though! ^.^
5179025
No better way! ^.^
5179040
It can’t possibly go wrong!
(Honestly, what I’m most worried about is ending up with 300 clopfics to try and judge fairly. But really ... that’s its own kind of success.)
5179042
I ... don’t know.
Lots of other people have been joining the group and commenting there, so I know it’s working fine for some people.
Are there fetish limits at all? Cause I am hoping this contest brings some of the dirty writers out.
5179093
I think ponies themselves are kind-of fetishy in this context but I know what you mean.
Just to let you know: Despite having the mature toggle thing turned to "off", this post is being shown to me. Is that supposed to happen? Because I would really rather not have stuff like this turn up in my feed, you know?
5179129
It's either a bug, or because a staff member was the one to make this blog. The second one is much more likely though. After all, I'm not following this person, yet I still found it in my feed.
Good fucking luck to any who are going to do this. You fucked up bastards
5179129
I think the only way to make a blog post M is to associate it with a M story from the blog's account. Technically, this post violates the site's own TOS.
(For the record, I think the thing in the TOS about "you can't link to anything M on the site if the blog post isn't associated with an M story" is dumb. If somepony sees an M link and clicks on it, they still won't have access to it if M is turned off so it's not bypassing age checks, and this inconveniences authors who want to blog about multiple stories.)
5179093
No limits. And there are actually a handful of prizes for certain specific fetishes!
5179138
Hey, I represent that remark!
5179150
Ha ha ha. I bet you do
5179129
The mature filter will only hide the group embeds which are the only mature aspects of the post. The blog itself has no genuinely mature/NSFW content otherwise.
At least not all of it will be shitty incest this time.
What's clop? I'm new
5179177
Oh, that’s why you edited out the direct links to the group -- I get it now! Neat.
5179204
Well, variety is nice, isn’t it?
5179222
MLP porn/erotica.
ok im not taking part then
You know what this site really doesn’t have enough of? Clopfics!
5179204
What a world we live in that that is considered a mercy.
5179300
I mean, if I had thousands I could just throw away, I'd flood the site with all the crappy crap I like too.
Sounds very interesting. How do I submit a story to your Submissions Folder?
5179150
I dont see my fetish. Then again there are so many. XD
5179249
Seriously, though. Only 1/10 of the fics in the feature box is a clopfic.
I remember the glorious days when it used to be hard to find any non-clopfics in the feature box!
5179363
I made a whole guide about how to do it!
5179496
Well, you can always include ones that aren’t on that list! ^.^

Last week?
5179556
No, I am! It’s right there in the name!
5179579
Yeah, those were the days.
5179538
1/10th? Where are you getting that statistic lol.
5179177
I have view_mature set to true, but when I check the front page in private browsing I do see this blog post. IMO, this blog post should not be visible on the front page to every random person who comes to this site. It gives a bad first impression. (Yes, first impressions are still important for our fandom.)
Therefore, I also request that you hide this blog post behind the view_mature filter.
5179150
I notice that this contest has a very broad conditions for eligibility. In fact, I count 324 eligible stories from the same period in 2019.
Are you sure you're going to be able to judge every entry with just one person?
5179842
At the time I wrote that, there was only 1 out of 10 stories in the feature box with the porn tag.
Now we’re up to 3!
5180013
I’ll manage. ^.^
And besides, I don’t think that every eligible story is going to end up being entered into this contest. I’ve already spotted a few new stories that would be eligible, but haven’t been submitted.
5180010
It doesn't say anything that the existence of the mature filter doesn't already imply.
5180013
The real winners of any writing contest are the readers. 5179046 clearly agrees with this.
Money?! I'm in!
What the hay? One third of newly featured stories on this site nowadays are tagged sex/porn.
I am thinking fimfiction is starting to become an erotica site already.
No it has WAYYY too many especially for a show for children i mean think of them what if a kid comes on here like oh cool and then she turns off mature lock accidentally and gets SCARRED FOR LIFE! not to hate on y'all y'all are talented writers just think of the children. don't get me wrong I like this fanfiction site most BECAUSE of the mature lock which wattpad doesn't have but still ;-;
