here's how it works:
each day, participants will publish fics that meet the required word count — day 1 is 100 words, day 2 is 200, day 3 is 300 and so on, until we get to 1K on day 10.

inspired by vintage stamps and, of course, one of the many liferuining lines in The Sunshine Court: "Kevin’s postcards had been Jean’s only real glimpse of the greater world outside of Evermore."

Book cover for the classic alien abduction book Communion that features a ‘grey’ alien face with a slight smirk. Title and copy read:

SUCKED ME DRY

A MALE ALIEN BLEW ME AND IT WAS SO GOOD I'M GAY NOW

Back cover synopsis for The Alien that Sucked Me Dry

APRIL 12, 1987 — 3:13AM
I woke to find an alien standing homosexually at the foot of my bed. I was unable to move, shocked at how incredible his body looked. My wife slept next to me as the alien slid his long fingers down my abs and into briefs.

THEN THAT GALACTIC TWINK ABSOLUTELY SUCKED ME DRY

He blew me like I've never been blown before - he understood cock mechanics for he had a great cock himself (I saw it). That greedy, little, gay alien abducted all of my cum, and when he was done he did a little spin then jumped into his UFO and flew away.

Next thing I know, I'm sitting at the kitchen table eating breakfast with my wife who's staring at me like she knew something fucked up just happened.

I told her nothing of my encounter, but she could tell that I ejaculated every last ounce of heterosexuality out of my body. Later that day she divorced me.

My alien experience changed me, and no one will believe me when I tell them that it left me absolutely gay. Sure, I never liked breasts - and sure, I prefer the company of strong men (they make me feel safe), but now I'm the one roaming the planet looking for close encounters of the same-sex kind.

Please, heed my story - it's really hot.
Think you've got the whole story? You have no idea. That alien sucks his cock for like forty-three pages.

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.
