Introducing Endo-Rama, a writing contest for wholesome stories with endosoma, non-fatal scenarios, and happy endings!
This is open to everyone! Even if you've never written a story in your life, I invite you to try! And if you've always wanted to write but never had the motivation, well now's your chance!
The winner will receive an illustrated scene from their story drawn by my friend 
auclave, who is very graciously co-running this contest with me. What decides the winner, you may ask? We're looking for stories with lots of personality. Think outside the box, go against the grain, and really use your imagination to make something special. The most important thing of all is to be creative! Make our hearts flutter with excitement.
The winner as well as a handful of runner-ups will also receive something special from me... but that will remain a surprise for now.~
The deadline is December 25th!! Take your time, and give it your all!
Some Rules and Guidelines
- 1,500 - 5,000 word count
- Story must contain endosoma (non-fatal vore), a happy ending, and be centered around oral vore, or any vore involving the mouth. No other vore types, please.
- No canon characters from other media, including anime, video games, etc. All characters must be original.
- We would like to strongly discourage any sexual content, which includes but is not limited to description of sex, masturbation, sexual arousal, etc.
- Human and non-human characters welcome!
- Only one submission per person, please.
- If you need some help brainstorming, we have an optional one-word prompt: "Space." (Remember, the word space refers to more things than just the place where the moon and the stars are)
Once you submit your story,
please fill out this Google Form. It will ensure that I do not miss any entries!
Best of luck!!

no sexual content?
what is this, 198vore?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I'm sex-averse and I didn't want to read a bunch of stories with sex. It's that simple
Posted by RoyalRoseBeam 3 years ago Report
198vore, the critically acclaimed novel by George Vorwell...
Posted by Lavendercake877 3 years ago Report
lol i'd much rather have read that then the other one 1984 was so dang depressing DX
Posted by IncoIsARadio 3 years ago Report
Quick question, will people be able to make multiple submissions??
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Unfortunately, I think I will have to say only one submission per person!
Posted by KKtheneko 3 years ago Report
I must admit this had got me extremely tempted to take up writing again
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I fully encourage you to give it a try!
Posted by Zaver 3 years ago Report
A question. Outside of the stuff outline, is stuff like fusion, transformation or non-fatal absorption allowed?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I think those specific elements you mentioned are okay! I was actually thinking of stuff like that. It should be fine as long as it's still wholesome, has a happy ending, etc.
Posted by BadlyDrawnDedede 3 years ago Report
Yes, yes, yes! I've been waiting for this announcement for a while now! Though I've gotta rethink what I'm gonna write with the new rulings, I'm super excited for what's gonna turn out!
Best of luck to y'all! May the best man/woman win!
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I'm glad you're excited! I can't wait to read what people come up with.

Question about the "human and non-hjuman" part. Are feral ok to have?a bit unsure if i want to go with a taur or a feral for the story submission.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Feral characters should be fine as long as it remains within the spirit of the contest, i.e everything is consensual and wholesome
Posted by Allard-Liao 3 years ago Report
"No canon characters"
What about characters for franchise-specific species (e.g. Kancolle's Abyssals)?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Unfortunately, I think I'm leaning towards a "no" on this one. Examples like that are still a canon creation that exists in another media
Posted by rotta287 3 years ago Report
I think this is a great idea.
Alas my creative juices are perpetually occupied by a combination of school and the two tabletop rpg groups I partake in.
I find it pretty unlikely I will write anything.
I wish every participant godspeed.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
That's alright! Thanks for the support, regardless!
Posted by NewSuperTrios 3 years ago Report
This'll be good.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I think so too!
Posted by HalfTime 3 years ago Report
I'm pumped for this!
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Me too!!
Posted by BagelKun 3 years ago Report
Oooo~! I will get right to work! I will be sure to give my all for this story-!
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
That sounds amazing, I can't wait!!
Posted by FitMe 3 years ago Report
Oh boy I've been waiting for this!
Only one question. Is it limited to one submission per writer?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Yes, only one submission per writer please!
Posted by Matteo42 3 years ago Report
Hey so... what are the exact limits on the "no sex" term? I'm not gonna add any full-powered fucking, because that's not what I like either, but does 'innocent' sensual stuff count too?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
What sorts of sensual stuff were you thinking about?
Posted by Matteo42 3 years ago Report
I mean the whole swallowing part; I want to make it enjoyable for both parties... which is a bit challenging for the prey if you ask me lol. Maybe some shivering/moaning (my god that word has been overused to hell and back) from the peps to make it more fun haha
Nothing outside of that though
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
That sounds fine to me! Sensuality is welcome, plenty of good feelings to be had during the process, and not all of them have to be sexual (does that make sense?) Either way, I don't want your creativity to be stifled too too much!
Posted by OhLordyWordy 3 years ago Report
Oh heck yeah, this is right up my alley! :D I’m gonna throw my hat into the ring, hope this can help out my writer’s block!
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
That's wonderful to hear! Good luck to you!
Posted by S1nZ 3 years ago Report
Oh ya, another question. does surprised, but willing pred/prey count as willing. Like if the pred/prey gets surprised by the act of voring, but enjoys it soon after and lets it continue
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Yeah! That's fine, as long as everything becomes consensual at the end
Posted by TastyAce 3 years ago Report
Aw heck yes! I'll see if I have time to enter this. It's been a busy few weeks. >m<
I just discovered your writing the other day btw! I really liked what I read! Keep it up! <3
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Hey, thanks so much for the support! It means a lot! If you find the time, I'd be very thrilled to see you enter.
Posted by TastyAce 3 years ago Report
Hey, I was able to whip something up! ^u^ Since I focus on posting coms & the Patreon exclusive during the week, I'll try and post my entry this weekend. Is there a special tag I should put on the story when I post it btw?
I had a bunch of other stuff to tell you, but it's getting a little long lol! So imma DM you instead. Watch your inbox! X3
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Congrats on finishing! No need for a tag or anything like that, as long as you fill out that Google Form when you submit your story, you should be fine.
Posted by TastyAce 3 years ago Report
Coolio, tysm!
Posted by NewSuperTrios 3 years ago Report
I personally would love to see what you'd come up with!
Posted by TastyAce 3 years ago Report
Thank you! <3

I did end up entering! C: https://aryion.com/g4/view/741290
Posted by ClosetedTiny 3 years ago Report
Deadline is December 25? Alright, got plenty of time. Just hope that I don't go over the word limit...
Seeing just how popular this post is is making me a little nervous, it's been a while since I've actually competed in a writing contest. Last time I did was in grade 9, but I did win 2nd place out of my grade and now I (like to think that I) am stronger than I was! Let's give it my all and see what happens!
Are you going to be putting a submission in as well, Dulce? Or are you just going to be a judge?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Perhaps it does look a little intimidating, but please don't be discouraged! I'm sure you'll do great. A handful of runner-ups get something special, too. Just try your best!!
And hmm... I probably won't write anything, no. I'll just be a humble judge!
Posted by OhSevenTen 3 years ago Report
I'm super interested in entering! Any rules on Same-size vs. micro/macro? The word "Endosoma" always makes my brain immediately think of micro/macro, but I much prefer writing same-size. (Sorry if this is a stupid question.)
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Not a stupid question at all! We welcome characters of all sizes. Micro/macro, same-size, and any size differences in between are allowed.
Posted by ElyBlanche 3 years ago Report
Interesting. Will definitely consider. I definitely prefer fatal vore with reformation but I could use some practice with this type.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
No pressure at all! If you decide to enter, great! And if not, no big deal.
Posted by ConcordantOpposition 3 years ago Report
Is soft digestion with explicit reformation permitted? If so, I have an old story concept that would be perfect for this.
Posted by Allard-Liao 3 years ago Report
Endosoma is more "non-fataly hold inside and then release later" with no digestion.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Yes, what Allard-Liao said!
Posted by ConcordantOpposition 3 years ago Report
I'm aware of what endo is, I was asking because earlier in the comments you said absorption and transformation were acceptable, so I wasn't sure if the contest was strictly endo, or if other non-fatal vore was okay as long as it fit the tone.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
So for the first thing you mentioned, unfortunately I will have to say no to soft digestion with explicit reformation. For this contest, prey should still remain whole and in one piece by the end of the story. But if you can make transformation and absorption non-fatal in some way, and fit the "spirit" of the contest, I'd be very interested in reading that!
Posted by ConcordantOpposition 3 years ago Report
Thanks for clarifying. I'm a little disappointed I won't get to use the concept I had in mind, but I would still like to participate. With over a month to go I'm sure I can come up with something else that's just as good and fits the rules.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Best of luck! I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something great!
Posted by EnderFridge 3 years ago Report
This sounds awesome! I’ve never tried writing before, but this seems like a good time to start :)
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I fully support that, and wish you the best of luck!!
Posted by TheSecretBacon 3 years ago Report
Ooh, no sexual content? Sounds like a challenge. I might be interested. By the way, can I write ANY kind of pred/prey, as long as it's not explicitly sexual? (I ask because I do like sibling vore, and was wondering if I could do that for this contest.)
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Sibling/familial vore is something that the artist Auclave would rather not draw, so I will have to say no. Sorry for the inconvenience!
Posted by TheSecretBacon 3 years ago Report
That's fine. Just making sure, is all.
Posted by Broniele97 3 years ago Report
I just have one question, you have to upload the story here or somewhere else? Or maybe we have to send it to you? I would like to try, but I never did something like this before
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Yes, I'd recommend uploading the story here on Eka's Portal! You'll need to create a gallery by sending a PM to Eka, there's more info if you scroll to the bottom of the FAQ.
Posted by Broniele97 3 years ago Report
I just created a gallery, I think I’ll upload something very soon, but than how I send it to you?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Once you submit the story on Eka's, just fill out the Google Form in the description of this post ^^
Posted by carlj 3 years ago Report
Eh, why not! I got plenty of time till the 25th anyway ^^
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Go for it!!
Posted by carlj 3 years ago Report
I actually thought of a pretty good story for it, though it might be a bit longer than 5000 words ^_^"
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
The word count is probably the most flexible rule up there. As long as you don't go completely overboard, you will probably be fine!
Posted by KeeperofLillies 3 years ago Report
my only issue is that I have too many ideas! Ive already begun writing! I look forward to see everyone elses works.
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
You can do it!! I'm super excited to see all the stories come in.
Posted by Oniric 3 years ago Report
Oh, this sounds cute, I love wholesome vore. My stories tend to be very sexual, but this could be a chance to try something different. I'll see if I can think of something!
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I'll definitely encourage you to enter, if you can come up with an idea!
Posted by Itbecause 3 years ago Report
You say no cannon character okay. What about cannon foreshadowing certain things like a hometown for a backstory is that allowed?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I'm sorry, I don't think I really understand your question? Could you explain a little more?
Posted by ExistentialRowlet 3 years ago Report
Are child characters allowed?
I was planning to have a father keep the daughter cosy since she's sick and having it be an exploration of his job from the child's pov from within.
Also if a slime character loses some mass during the whole thing (not digestion just a small bit of spread around the body for shared senses) would that be fine?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
For your first question, all characters in your story should be 18+. And for your second question, that should be fine ^^
Posted by Rocket3077 3 years ago Report
Heya! Just a short question, can it be slightly less than 1.500 words? Like 1.250?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I'll encourage you to write a little bit more, but in the end you can just submit whatever you can, shouldn't be that big of a deal. ^^
Posted by Rocket3077 3 years ago Report
Posted my entry for this!

Posted by Lavendercake877 3 years ago Report
oh this might be fun^^ i do have a few question tho sir or madme.
I'm curaintly writing a story that will contain the following
1. light cooking but no pain only pleaseure( like cuddle pleasure not sexual)
2. refomration (pleasent digestion and all charecters live) if this isn't aloud then i'll try to come up witih something else thank you :D
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Madame, and any kind of digestion will not be allowed for this contest, sorry!
Posted by Lavendercake877 3 years ago Report
no its all good^^ i use to not do digestions( guess it just comes with the vore-itorry) so i'm a tad bit rusty bit i'll give this a shot.is cooking okay?and is there an age limit to prey? and thank you ma'am ^^
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
I'm leaning towards a "no" on cooking, and the characters in your story should all be 18 and up.
Posted by Lavendercake877 3 years ago Report
okay then ^^ thank you so much for answering my qeustions and good luck to the winners :D
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
No problem!!
Posted by TootLunch 3 years ago Report
Hohoho, you’ve piqued my interest.
1. On the topic on non-sexual writing, are detailed descriptions of feelings like the heat, pressure, wetness, etc permissible so long as no character is directly aroused by it?
2. Can characters derive non-sexual pleasure such as feeling full, enjoying the taste, etc?
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
An enthusiastic "yes" to both questions! Sensory descriptions and non-sexual pleasure is exactly what we're looking for.
Posted by TootLunch 3 years ago Report
What about willing vs unwilling? Does everyone have to be happy in the happy ending? I feel like I just answered my own question there…
Posted by LivesInAStomach 3 years ago Report
Ahah, well... yes, willingness and a happy ending are pretty essential.
Posted by TootLunch 3 years ago Report
Just sent my submission with the help of a lot of coffee, had a lot of fun doing it!
