### Story challenge results are up! The final standings for the Halloween 2024 challenge [have been revealed](/storyCampaign/show/10000014)! 🥇 Coming in first place is the cinematic “[Night of The Meteor](/series/show/10004936)” by [bluesuedewho](/user/show/1225367)! A big congrats on this series, which explores what _might_ happen if your gay best friend gained reality-warping powers... and inadvertently began rewriting the world (and *you*) into his personal sexual plaything... 🥈 In second place is [Naedre](/user/show/931338)'s erotic and romantic "[Nephilim](/series/show/10004830)"! With deft characterization (and lots of sex), this series proves how lusty demonic corruption isn't *just* searingly hot—it can be incredibly wholesome and sweet, too, when the right people are involved! 🥉 And please give a round of applause for the three exceptional runners-up: "[Pure Ruin](/series/show/10004783)" by [Dace](/user/show/1217645); "[Truth's Party](/series/show/10004882)" by [GoodBoy](/user/show/1900997); and "[Pumpkin Cream Dream Supreme](/story/show/10010796)" by [S. Q. Neemie](/user/show/767920). The sheer range and hotness of these stories is extremely spooky! Aaaah! 👻 Thank you, truly, to all the authors who participated. It was a pleasure to see such an outpouring of creative Halloween stories this year. Whether spooky, or playful, or just plain hot, every story earned its own fans, and this challenge would not have been the same without you. Thank you all for making this Halloween as much fun as it was! P.S. There's a post-challenge forum thread where you can congratulate the authors, and discuss favorite stories from the contest! [Check it out here](https://forum.gaykinkystories.com/t/congrats-to-the-authors-of-the-halloween-2024-story-contest/8009).

Hi all! We've updated and streamlined some of the language of [our site rules for stories](https://forum.gaykinkystories.com/t/rules-for-stories-posted-on-the-site/7736), though **please note** that all our sites rules are functionally the same! The only rules that were officially added to the list (and which were semi-official already) were about avoiding wall-of-text stories, tagging AI-generated stories, and avoiding teaser/paywalled stories unless they're a Sponsored Story. The one big change we did make was to [the Sponsored Stories post](https://forum.gaykinkystories.com/t/sponsored-stories/7734/). It was very out-of-date, and there was confusion on whether a Sponsored Story should be pinned for 5 days or 10 days—it was sometimes inconsistent. Starting in October, we'll pin all Sponsored Stories for 7 days. And that's the update! Please reach out via admin@gaykinkystories.com if you have any questions. 😊

**There's been a site bug affecting the 'highlight' for new stories on the front page.** Aka, newly posted stories haven't been 'highlighted' and flagged as such in the way that they would be normally. **The bug has been active for a week, since 9/17.** The bug should resolve itself in the next 24 hours, and stories posted after that point will show up as 'highlighted' again. But if you're worried that you've missed a new story in the past week, be sure to go through all the great stories posted recently and check them out! (And hey, leave a comment if you like what you read. It'll make that author's day! 😊)

Hi all, please be aware that at some point in the next few days, we'll be doing a back-end site update where we move our servers. There will likely be a site outage for a few hours when this happens. But don't worry, the site will be back online as soon as it's done! (If you are a writer, make sure to keep a backup copy of any stories you are submitting in the meantime, *just* to ensure you don't lose your work if you happen to submit a story right as the outage happens...)

### Story challenge results are up! The final standings and the authors for the WRONG ROOMMATE challenge [have been revealed](/storyCampaign/show/10000013)! 🥇 Coming in first place is “[Taking Over Beta Psi Phi](/series/show/10004568)” by [EdIam](/user/show/17145)—which marks EdIam's _second_ challenge win in a row! A doubly-huge congrats for this win, and for this masterfully paced showstopper of a series! 🥈 In second place is [Naedre](/user/show/931338)'s three-part series, "[Unit Designation: Prime](/series/show/10004407)", which explores the prompt (and the story's own premise) from three different angles! A big congrats to Naedre! 🥉 And please give a round of applause for the three exceptional runners-up: "[Wrong Side of Heaven](/story/show/10009756)" by [Benedick](/user/show/10034418); "[Accidental Boy](/story/show/10009761)" by [RobinHood70](/user/show/24261); and "[Trance in the Frat House: The New Guy’s Agenda](/series/show/10004514)" by [Jockboy Joe](/user/show/910088). The sheer inventiveness (and hotness) of these stories is pretty damn impressive! Thank you, truly, to all the authors who participated. This was, possibly, our most popular contest on the site yet. It got a huge amount of entries, and many of them from heavy-hitter authors. This was some *stiff* competition. (In several senses of the word. 😉) Every story earned its own fans—and many will be revisited quite often, I am sure. Thank you all for making this contest as memorable and high-caliber as it was! P.S. There's a post-challenge forum thread where you can congratulate the authors, and discuss favorite stories from the contest! [Check it out here](https://forum.gaykinkystories.com/t/congrats-to-the-authors-of-the-wrong-roommate-story-contest/7494).
