Story Challenge

CAMP(ING)

Your challenge, should you choose to accept it: **write a story inspired by the concept of CAMP(ING)!** 

Camping in the woods; or boot camp; or summer camp; or “I’m looking camp right in the eye.” Sleepaway camp. Hidden campgrounds. Tents and pine trees and Bigfoot. Sontag’s *Notes on ‘Camp’*. A group of campers realize that the tall tales they share around the campfire are coming true… and one of them begins to take advantage of it. A boot camp is thrown into chaos when an enemy’s ‘gay bomb’ goes off mid-training. At a summer retreat, everyone begins transforming into satyrs and nymphs once Pan himself pitches a tent at their campground. Three swishy, Camp™ friends are sent to a ‘re-education’ program where they’re supposed to build a De-Campifying Machine to ‘fix’ themselves… but instead, the machine they build turns you from from camp… to *scamp*…  
 
**The possibilities are endless. What’s *your* CAMP(ING) 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: July 7, 2025 at 11:59:59 PM GMT
