Hi all! I’m opening up voting for the next challenge theme. 
And this time… it’s the All Porkchops edition!
Aka, these are all potential contest themes that came last in the past five regular polls. Now these losing themes have a chance to battle it out amongst themselves… and the loser of this poll will be our next challenge theme!
Voting will be open for a week, until next Sunday, April 27. The story challenge itself will go live about a month later, in late May.
You’re encouraged to come up with your own smutty, smutty interpretation of the losing theme for your story challenge submission. 
But check out the detailed descriptions below, too, for an in-depth look at the prompts that are up for voting and some potential ideas to get the ball rolling.
Don’t forget that you can also vote for more than one challenge theme (and, in fact, voting for the four themes you don’t want to see win is the best way to be strategic if you want your favorite theme to lose). Have at it!
- LIFE ON T.V.
- SEX ON THE BEACH
- STAR POWER
- CAMP(ING)
- SMALL MIRACLES
Once the losing theme is selected, the relevant post below will be the official description for that theme. It’ll be what gets posted to the main site when the challenge is up.
LIFE ON T.V.
A freak thunderstorm zaps the college dorm TV set—now the shy gay freshman’s favorite character is sitting on his carpet, blinking up at him. A magic remote allows a man to enter his favorite fantasy TV show… all fun and games, till the TV villain captures him and turns him into his thrall. A retail worker wakes up and finds his life mimicking the plot of whatever movie he last watched—too bad he just marathoned a bunch of gay porn. A lighting assistant working a Hollywood set finds the line between the shooting script and real life starts to blur. A lighthouse operator is convinced his TV set is sending strange, reality-bending messages. A clerk at a thrift store uncovers a box of glowing, magical VHS tapes. A man in a motel turns on a mysterious late-night channel and can’t believe what he sees.
The possibilities are endless. What’s your LIFE ON T.V. story?
SEX ON THE BEACH
Hunky lifeguards, sexy mermen, raunchy pirates… oh my! A lonely tourist wishes for a lover—and a horny Poseidon answers his call. A songwriter goes to the ocean for inspiration, and is seduced by a harem of sirens. A lifeguard dons a new irresistible speedo and soon has the entire beach begging to service him. A suntan lotion company mixes up their formula, and now their new product transforms men into hunky himbos. A river cruise takes an unexpected turn when the captain catches a magic, wish-granting fish. A rivalry between two pirate kings gets out of control when one of them invokes the help of a sea-witch. A team of scuba divers uncover a long-lost treasure with mysterious body-altering powers.
The possibilities are endless. What’s your SEX ON THE BEACH story?
STAR POWER
Fame, charisma, Hollywood magic. Space stations and comets, rockets and starfuel. Constellations, horoscope magic, pentagrams for summoning. “Wish upon a star and your dreams will come true.” A lonely scientist’s Charisma Engine explodes and grants him the magnetism of a Hollywood god… and the sex drive of one, too! A rocket ship refuels at an unusually-colored star station, and the crew find that the pink starfuel has some interesting side-effects. A warlock accidentally pulls Sagittarius himself down from the sky—and discovers he might have a new horse-hung boyfriend. A guy makes a wish on a falling star… but so do all his neighbors, and now all their wishes are coming true…
The possibilities are endless. What’s your STAR POWER story?
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?
SMALL MIRACLES
Minor gods. Small-scale magic. Pedestrian ‘miracles’—finding love in unexpected places; finding luck where you didn’t expect it. “Pregnancy is a small miracle, Chad! Especially mpreg…” A ring that only grants wishes that could happen anyways by coincidence. Spells that only work if you are under five feet tall. A real estate agent discovers a haunted, reality-warping elevator—any wishes he makes remain true so long as he’s in the elevator, but stop being true the moment he leaves its boundaries… A cult consisting of three people summons a very minor eldritch abomination, to help them pay their lease as their fourth housemate. An internet fetishist devises a magic system based on small-cock humiliation—and inadvertently gets into a heated rivalry with the Big Dicked Magicians Guild. An inventor creates a machine that can perform the minor miracle of turning pennies ‘lucky’… without considering that his himbo lab assistant is also named Penny, and Penny’s idea of a lucky day would be fucking the inventor…
The possibilities are endless. What’s your SMALL MIRACLES story?
I did wonder if a segment of the voters just wouldn’t bother reading the instructions, no matter how clear I was in both the newsflash and the post itself… But in a way, it means our (losing) winner could be the real Porkchop of the poll! Ironically, if we get enough voters who ignore the request to read the instructions before voting, it may give us a more honest result. 
I’m sure I’ll think of something pretty naughty though.
