 Tell us a story. Make it short -- less than 2000 words. Make
it sexy. Make music an important theme of your story -- jazz, rock, hip-hop, anything you're passionate about. It could be a story based on a song title, a story about an amazing night at a concert (or under your personal sound system), a fantasy about Elvis, a total eclipse of the heart, or anything at all involving music. Be serious, funny, poetic, soulful, or absurd, but be sure to be original, sexy, and musical.
Your challenge is high, since we believe that sex is one of the
hardest subjects to write well. But we know you are up to it --
we receive hundreds of emails every week with potential erotica
for Clean Sheets. Entries will be read "blinded" (no names on them) and
judged by a panel of Clean Sheets
editors, including Susannah Indigo, Nola Summers, Brian Peters, and Bill Noble.
The Official Rules:
1. No longer than 2000 words, no exceptions.
2. Include music as a major theme of your story..
3. Include the erotic as a major theme of your story.
4. Submit your story either as text pasted into the email, or
as a .doc or .rtf attachment.
5. Make the reference line of your email "Rock Me Contest: your story title".
6. Email to rockme@cleansheets.com
7. Deadline is September 1, 2005; winners will be announced and published in October.
