Story Challenge

"I WOKE UP LIKE THIS"

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: **write a story inspired by the phrase "I WOKE UP LIKE THIS"** 

You open your eyes, and something’s definitely changed. (Or has it?) It’s you who’s different… (Or is it your roommate—or maybe the whole world?) You definitely know something is off. (Or do you? Can you even remember how things used to be?) And: does it matter to ask who’s behind these changes? Perhaps it’s a story of your roommate getting his hands on a Chronivac… and you wake up as his devoted, oblivious slave. Or, it’s a story of waking up with new, mysterious powers. Waking up as a werewolf. Waking up as a bubble-butted twink—right next to your old body, who doesn’t realize that the twink he’s fucking is *you*. A story about dreams—the line between waking and sleeping—intentionally crossing the barrier. Dream magic, dream technology… Or, your *brother* is a totally changed man, but he insists (maybe even believes) that he’s always been like this. He “just woke up like this, it’s no big deal.”  
 
**The possibilities are endless. What’s *your* "I WOKE UP LIKE THIS" story?** 

We’d love to see your own spin on the prompt! You’re also very welcome to take inspiration from any of the ideas above, if they appeal to you.  

This story challenge crosses all our sites, meaning your story can be hosted on Spiral, Cupid, Collar, Kinky… or any combination of options. Good luck, and have fun!
The following requirements are enacted for this challenge in addition to the usual site rules:  - The story must be clearly inspired by the challenge prompt.  - Authors of challenge stories are anonymized by the system, and not shown until the final results are up. This is to make voting more fair—and to keep up the suspense! - Authors can only submit one story to the challenge. - A single story with multiple chapters is okay to submit, so long as you upload the chapters during the time frame of the challenge. **However,** no additional chapters to your challenge story can be submitted after the challenge ends when we are in the two-week voting period. (Please note, additional chapters to your challenge story *can* to be submitted after the challenge is over, if you wish to continue your story later, but those chapters will not affect the calculations of the final challenge results.)  
 
Challenge stories are ‘ranked’ based on a calculation combining their best 4 category ratings (aka, the badges) with how many unique Favorites they get. Voting for this particular challenge will continue for two weeks after the challenge concludes, at which point the Top 5 will be announced and all authors will be revealed. 
Submission deadline: March 10, 2025 at 11:59:59 PM GMT

Eric wakes up and knows something is wrong. It's not the 50 pounds of muscle he has put on since 'the change.' Or the sounds of all his frat brothers fucking in other rooms. Or how horny he is. That stuff is all normal. No, something is wrong, but Eric can't quite figure out what...
