A Question About Categorizing a Story

[crazyness1]

Hey all, just had a quick question about where to place a particular work.

It's a romantic coming of age story about two girls in their senior year of high school and I'm not sure where to put this story.

I was going to put it in Romance, but the problem is the story has little to no erotic scenes. I have gotten away with having no erotic scenes before, but that was for a contest piece and I don't know if that was simply because people are more chill when it's for a contest submission. Also it's a lesbian story, but not lesbian sex, so that's throwing me off as well.

Oh, and it has a bittersweet ending as opposed to the usual happy fairy-tale ending.

I know I could put it in Non-erotic but I'd really prefer not to.

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it!

If there's the undercurrent of lesbian discovery, I'd say Lesbian.

It's okay to put stories without erotic scenes in the Lesbian Sex category?

Also, I don't know if this changes things; one of the girls is definitely lesbian or at least bi, while the protagonist is not attracted to girls in general, but she loves the other girl?

If that makes sense.

My suggestion is Lesbian...
There are literally hundreds of stories hiding in that category that have no sexual content...
Bittersweet is also popular.
The slow awakening is very popular in Lesbian, and very much accepted. In fact it's sought after.

Just my thoughts

Ah, I did not realize that.

Thank you both so much for the input! I'll try the Lesbian category then.

Thanks so much @THBGato! Er, I'm still working on it though, it's about halfway done . Hopefully, I will have it done by the end of this weekend/next week. First time writing a piece this long. Well not that long, but long for me at least lol. I'm not used to writing full works.
