Note: This story was dynamically reformatted for online reading convenience. Hello all. I -(TM)m happy to announce that, after a long absence, the Clitorides Awards are back! What are they? Well, they -(TM)re a yearly way to highlight the best internet erotic stories. Some of you, while looking at the pages of older authors, may have seen the better ones boasting of winning. They -(TM)ve been dead for awhile, but Lazeez, the owner of Storiesonline.net, has brought them back. Here -(TM)s how it works: 1. First, look around the internet and find your favorite authors and stories. Any author which has released an erotic story in 2013 may be nominated for best writer (or best new writer), and any erotic story completed in 2013 may be nominated in a variety of categories. The story must be finished, and available for free online. Sites like SOL, which have a pay membership but let you view their stories for free count, although those only available to pay members wouldn -(TM)t be. 2. Go to http://clitoridesawards.org. A valid email address is needed, to prevent ballot stuffing. There, nominate any writers and stories you want, in a variety of categories. The ten stories with the most nominations in each category will be offered up as the finalists, from which the winner will be chosen. Story Categories: Flash Erotic Story of the Year: Any erotic or sex story, up to 1,000 words (or 5KB of text) Short Erotic Story of the Year: Any erotic or sex story, between 1000 and 10,000 words (or 5KB to 50 KB of text) Medium Erotic Story of the Year: Any erotic or sex story, between 10,000 and 50,000 words (50KB to 250KB of text) Long Erotic Story of the Year: Any erotic or sex story, between 50,000 and 100,000 words (250KB to 500KB of tex) Epic Erotic Story of the Year: Any erotic or sex story, more than 100,000 words (500 KB and up of text) Best Erotic Story by a New Author: Any erotic or sex story whose author's first posting ever happened in the award year.

Author Categories Author of the Year Any author who posted or completed the posting of an erotic/sex story in the awards year. Best New Author Any author who posted their first erotic/sex story in the awards year. I urge all my readers to go out and nominate their favorites. The goal of this award is to let readers find those hidden gems, and that can -(TM)t happen unless you nominate them. I am NOT asking all of you to just stuff the site with votes for me. By all means, if something of mine heads your list nominate it, but spread the love around. For those curious, the stories of mine which qualify are: A Flip of Faith (5,470 words) A Servant of Wisdom (42,000 words) Tradition (4,900 words) The Well (1,900 words) Amy Day (3,700 words) Where Friendship Leads (23,000 words) Knight Takes Princess (3,800 words) The other stories I wrote last year, including The Magic of Bells and A Leader Born, did not have enough sex, to my mind, to qualify. This is an erotic award, after all.
