Submissions to a Pride Month event from Erotica Abyss
The goal: Six fics centering queer characters, only 1000 words each. There were six prompts provided, one for each color of the early six-color Pride flag. While the event allowed to double-dip on prompts, I wanted to write one fic per prompt, because it felt like an easy finish line to define.
I don’t think any of the fics I ended up submitting were my original ideas. When I only had 1000 words, I had to cut subplots, tighten dialogue, veer off course, abandon some drafts, and force the pacing to get faster and faster. It was a challenge! A common theme in my notes below are that I struggled with staying under 1000 words.
But here’s all six! Each one was its own little adventure to write, and I hope to read. They’re all pretty different from each other, spanning the Wild West, the Great Depression, modern day, to a space-faring future. Some are meet-cutes, some are about relationships that ended. Some are sexy and some are sweet. Enjoy!
