[Mod post] The Heat is ON. [celebration] [challenge] [HEAT]

Hi Everyone - I just joined the mod team here on GWN, and wanted to kick things off with a big hello and a celebration, and to welcome all the new creators who've chosen to share here. It's always exciting to hear new voices, spoken and written.

As AI creeps and seeps into our creative lives, and porn becomes increasingly reductionist, it's more important than ever to use our genuine intelligence, creativity and heart to tell stories -- and that's what GWN has always been all about.

My fellow mods invited me to choose a theme for this summer's event/challenge, and I hope you'll join us in a celebration of HEAT, with your writing, performance, and enthusiastic consent support. The celebration launches today and officially ends on August 15th but hey, [HEAT]'s a tag. Use it whenever you want.

Take the idea wherever you want. Ice, wax or cigar play...silky, sweaty scent play...sundresses and popsicles...fire eating...banging along with the radiator...anything that makes you melt. NSFW or SFW (tag if SFW), whatever your delightful minds devise.

Whichever hemisphere you're in, home is where the HEAT is. Post something new or repost something old, just include the [HEAT] tag when you do, and we'll link to all the contributions in a comment below, so they're easy to find.

We can't wait to feel the heat. ❤️‍🔥🔥❤️‍🔥
