If you've submitted it, you'll find out soon enough whether it's going to fly or not. That's up to the site editor, nothing to do with anyone here.

Sounds like a very small niche, in terms of erotica.

Does the anthropomorphic characters in my Housemates universe count as beastality? I didn't think so because of a larger difference between all of that and animal characters that act human just like us in my alternate universe here.

If the critter you're fucking can't talk, or only you can hear it, then you're a bestialist. Fantasy critters are normally okay to fuck but a mute Martian duck or Pegasus might be iffy. Just make sure your aliens don't appear to be underage humans.

Categorization-wise, you're almost certainly going to end up in "Celebrities and Fan Fiction" with a possibility for "NonHuman" if the editor doesn't notice that it's fanfic.

Multi-crossover erotic fanfic is a pretty specific niche. With erotic fanfic, you're basically trading off readers of erotica (who might not have any interest in the source material) with fanfic readers (who don't necessarily read erotic original fiction); how popular the source material is determines whether that's a good tradeoff.

With a multi-crossover, you'll lose readers with each additional work you add that might not fit their interests or they're unfamiliar with (avoiding the latter is tricky, in that you have to balance off infodumps with people who are already familiar and don't want infodumps).

My suggestion would be to not limit yourself to this site, as you'll probably find a smaller but perhaps more enthusiastic response in sites that focus more on cartoon/video game stories and allow adult content. (Sadly, forum rules mean I can't provide specific suggestions.)

...I am brand new here and don't want to be banned for that little mistake.

I've never seen an author banned for their submissions. One may be banned from forums for abusive or other rule-breaking behavior, like bumping too many old posts, but the story side of LIT is separate. I'll have to see if my forum-banned alt can post stories.

Story rejection isn't the world's end. Many early works are rejected. Laurel kicks it back to you, maybe with a hint as to why. I revised and resubmitted one rejected story several times before she passed it. BTW Laurel owns the site and scans and approves every single story submission, poor woman.

Read the rules and guidelines, read high-rated works in categories you might write for, get a feel, and proceed. The worst that can happen is 'no'. And 'no' again. And again, until it's 'yes'.

I directly know of one who was banned for posting a story here that I had already posted here (he swiped it from a Web site where I post under another account--in a name I had before posting at Lit. and Lit. wouldn't register me in that name). I just pointed out the theft and repost to Laurel and she wiped out the other account entirely. I've heard others report on that happening too. That's a specialized reason, though.

Laurel is the main person running things around this website in terms of all literature and forum submissions. I'm sorry for your copycat getting at something you created by posting it elsewhere without permission. I personally would not care in the slightest because I'd be so honored if my written content can mean so much to an individual in that whoever feels the need to copy and claim my stuff as their own. I will be super honest and say I still would report them only if by someone else that notified me of the big issue because my knowledge of it happening can be clueless at all times.

The issue was that it was posted here on Literotica, where I'd already posted it. I don't have any illusions about controlling where else it gets posted if I put it on a free-use site like this. In my case, it's not posted here until it's had a long run in the market place, so if anyone has made money off it, it's me.

I don’t enjoy writing fanfic. I love writing homages, pastiches, and including lots of pop-culture references (but I’m only slightly pop aware these days.)

But I’ve never been happy with the stories I’ve written using the actual characters from an established franchise.

IMHO fanfic is parody-bait but it still needs an established audience to get it. I know zilch about USA media characters (let alone the rest of the world) of the last couple decades so feh, it all passes by without registering. A provocative but anonymous LW series I'm cooking may include some rough fanfic-like parodies but I won't depend on readers recognizing the originals.

Except maybe WIZARD OF OZ where Dorothy meets the Poleaxed Pikeman singing "If I Only Had a Prick". Then she's double-ended by Lion and Super-Munchkin. (NO to that tin and straw stuff!)

It has been three days since I posted Housemates on 6/23/2018 and I am now hitting my mark on 6/25/2018 right now. Still haven't gotten in my big profile picture uploaded yet because the site moderator has yet to approve it from a certain standpoint. I have great feelings toward you all liking up that written work now in the next few chapters worth available here which I have to soon proofread up and just hold onto for future submission because pending could be a little while.

Newbie story submissions always take longer as they will be read a little more closely to make sure they comply with site content rules. Expect it to take a week or so.

I grew up playing and watching Mario Bros, so I'd even get it if you made Birdo transgender. All I know about Agent Oso that he's voiced by Sean Astin and gets more credit for helping kids with arbitrary tasks than he does for being a secret agent. The other one just makes me think of that talking train show.
I thought about writing a Gundam Wing Mobile Suit (the one with Zechs Marquise) fan-fic and throw in in some kinky Mech action, but not sure if it would be well received...

First rejections are very educational.
