    Just follow the guidelines as outlined in the contest entry rules to the letter and you will be fine. The one thing missing from this list is rights - those are the same as described on the submissions page. xoxo J&S

    I just submitted my story and my husband paid. (14.95 was charged, not 10.)?? So how do we send people to vote when it's time? I'm excited about joining this group and about reading everyone's sexy written art! Thank you for the opportunity. :-)

    Rosalie - the $4.95 was a shipping charge error (we made some changes in PayPal yesterday). We had to reconfigure the PayPal button and now it should be all set. We've refunded you the shipping charge - and fixed the problem for the future.

    Rosalie and all writers - we highly suggest that you sign up for our email list (http://www.oystersandchocolate.com/ContactUs.aspx). When the contest kicks off we will be sending out an email to our subscribers with the titles of all 40 entries and links to them on the site. You can forward this email on to your friends and encourage them to read and rate your story. The entries will all be posted simultaneously to the site and each story will be the FEATURE story for ONE of the 40 contest days. At the end of the forty days and forty very sexy nights, the editors will then take the top ten highest rated stories, and select the final three winners. The more high ratings you get, the better your odds for winning!
