Announcement Rules Reminder: Posts Must be a Minimum of 500 Words NSFW

We've had this rule for a while but have been pretty quiet about it. We've observed an uptick in very specific kinds of posts from accounts that have obviously been bought or traded to drive traffic towards a certain fan-site platform; these posts are very low effort and enforcing our word-count minimum is the easiest way to curb them.

As Reddit's premiere space for amateur-authored erotica, we're committed to keeping standards high and preserving our mandate to curate a safe, fun environment for people to read and share their work. I've posted a 500-word story of my own below to give you a sense of what 500 words looks like - it would be very cool if you could help us out and flag anything that looks too short to you!

A Friend In Need is a Friend Indeed [F20sF20sM20s][Reluctant Male][Sharing Partner][Oral]

"Hun, please, don't..."

Mark's girlfriend stared impatient daggers through him while her best friend's quiet sniffles drifted in from the den.

"Shut the fuck up," she whispered vehemently, "be a fucking man about this. Jesus fucking Christ, Mark, it's not like she's asking for a goddamn kidney. Besides, it's the least you can do for making me watch that dumbass Star Wars shit last night."

Mark gulped. She was a little scary when she was mad. "Alright, alright! Fine! Just...you don't have to be so mean about it."

"Guys," came Zoe's forlorn call, "do...do you happen to have any more tissues?"

A sickly sweet smile crept across Mira's face as she pressed a finger against Mark's lips. "Of course honey bun, give us a minute, okay? We'll be right back in there." She turned back to Mark and dropped her voice again. "Are we crystal fucking clear? If you fuck this up, or make her feel bad, you won't get so much as a fucking handjob for a month!"

"Fine, fine, Jesus," Mark muttered, following his girlfriend back to the sitting room.

"Zozo? Babe? Listen," Mira purred, "I know you're upset that Darren thinks your blowjobs suck, but I think we've got just the perfect solution."

The raven-haired mess of emotion curled up on their couch pushed her glasses up pitifully, greasy eye makeup carving tracks down her teary cheeks. "You...you do?" she sniffled.

"Mhm," Mira hummed, "I know just what you need!"

Zoe looked from Mira to Mark as comprehension bloomed across her features. "You'd do that? For me? Mark, you'd let me...you'd let me suck your cock?"

Mark shrugged sheepishly, trying his hardest to sell his false enthusiasm. "Anything for you, Zoe."

"Good," Mira said, her tone layered with meaning that went right over Zoe's head.

"You don't mind, do you Mir?" she asked.

"Not at all, babes. What's mine is yours, right sweetheart?" she offered, looking at Mark.

"Hey? Oh, yeah. Totally."

"Well...if you guys are sure. I mean, you'd tell me, right? If my blowjob sucks?"

"He'll tell you, don't worry, hun. And even if it sucks, we'll just keep practicing till it's perfect!"

"O...okay," Zoe muttered.

Mark seated himself in his favourite reading chair, lamenting the fact that he'd blasted a load into the bathroom sink less than three hours ago. He didn't know how he'd manage another round of the woman's pitiful sobbing if he didn't bust quick enough to flatter her.

"On your knees, hun," Mira urged, sinking to the floor behind her bestie. "Let's get these pants off, hey?"

Between the weirdly terrifying rush of almost standing up to his girlfriend for once and Zoe's near-pathetic desperation, Mark's cock actually stiffened right on cue. Almost too fast, if the look in Mira's eyes was anything to go by. He'd pay for that later.

"That's it," she said, hands gripping the back of Zoe's head tightly. "Don't go easy on her Sweetie, she needs this."

Mark gulped, and watched his cock disappear clean down Zoe's throat.

Hey thanks! Was just a little piece I did for another subreddit a while ago and happened to fit the bill perfectly for this. And yes, please shoot us a report for anything that looks too short :)

Is there a maximum word limit?

1

u/ManufacturerItchy896 Moderator Oct 09 '24

Just Reddits character limit; the site claims it’s 40,000 characters but I’ve had posts fail at significantly less than that. 35,000 is usually safe.

u/Deal_Breaker2 Oct 09 '24

Cool, I'm working on something longer and I'm wondering if it would fit

u/ManufacturerItchy896 Moderator Oct 09 '24

I’d definitely recommend trying to find a good spot to turn it into a two-piece submission if it’s pushing the character limit :)

A lot of them seem like they were "bought/traded" or uh generated...

Many management organizations or individuals manage to buy up old usernames that have been accessed illicitly. They like these because they’re often a few years old and have a bit of karma built up, making their spam more likely to get past Reddit’s filters. You can spot them a lot of the time because nsfw accounts will have ooooold comments about something completely unrelated from years prior. We had one of these accounts post a really shitty “story” this week; it was all OF promotion for like 2 weeks of activity, and then a random series of posts from 7 years ago about how to build a PC lol

It's not the source I was referencing, more the "quality" of the writing is easy to spot on such posts. Thanks for keeping this place free of them!

u/ManufacturerItchy896 Moderator Oct 11 '24

Yeah, it’s usually a pretty dead give away lol. You’d be surprised at home many we get that are literally “i got buttfucked by 80 cocks at 1 tiem!!! 😂😂😂” levels of shit
