Can we PLEASE get some new categories?!

I know it's hopeless to ask that cuckold stories be moved to Fetish, so can we please have a "Cheating and Consequences" category.

This doesn't have to be BTB or RAAC, or even just wives!

Somebody, husband OR wife cheats, they're found out and what happens afterward.

We're not the ones you need to convince. Talk to Laurel.

So, would you like the task of finding and moving those stories out of the 27,000+ stories that are already there.

And I think that any story not related to cuckolding belongs in fetish.

Also, this question has been asked thousands (not really, dramatic license taken) before and the answer is always a resounding NO.

The response from anyone who could effect it has actually been a resounding sound of silence.

I'm not asking for anything to be moved.

I'm asking for a new category so that we can get away from what LW has become.

Stand in line. There are twenty-nine straight categories here, one (and a half--there's transsexual and cross dressing, but a story there doesn't have to be gay) Gay Male ones, one Lesbian one, and no bi ones. Categories have been requested without response for more than a decade before you asked for another straight one to be added.

Beyond that, it's spitting in the wind to request a site change on the forum. The managers don't follow the forum closely and they don't read e-mails. Ask Laurel directly via PM and then sit back and listen to the silence.

That sounds very restful

Its obvious the site likes what LW has become. Next to incest its the most widely read category and probably beats incest when it comes to comments-although most are negative

The category has sunk into a cesspool of racism, hatred and abuse of women which in BTB stories breaks all the sites alleged rules but that's okay. And in other stories its all about the humiliation of any man who is a 'husband'

Black men are portrayed as nothing short of crude belligerent thugs, but of course always superior to white men and best of all the use of the black bull is to infuriate the racist audience there and also to make the wives look even sluttier because of course a white woman with a black man makes her some how trashy so racism in both directions.

In essence LW is a cauldron of several factions all spewing hate at each other and a haven for the worst trolls on the site, who over the last year or so are spreading to other categories and driving off authors and readership.

BUt end of the day? That's what the site loved. The site loves cyber bullying trolling, hate spewing and abuse. Disagree? Hang out in the GB and see it in full effect.

LW is no longer a legit category. Its hate filled garbage written for hate filled garbage.

If you don't like those stories, find another site to read on. One that has the standards this place wants to pretend it has and boot licking morons like Zeb still think they have

If it's not yes, it's always no if all you hear is silence.

But...and there's always a but...if you create new category that is Cheating and Consequences don't you need one Cheating without Consequences?

Putting aside the politics of Loving Wives for a moment, a few new categories would probably be a good idea. I was surprised a few years ago when I finally noticed that there's no category for prostitution or sex work, for example. I thought perhaps it's not a popular enough theme, but searching even just the word "prostitute" calls up more than 6,000 stories, which is not an insignificant yield.

Granted, those kinds of stories can fall into "Erotic Couplings," but more specificity would be nice. I'm sure there are other examples of categories people might assume are there but turn out not to be.

 

[sr71plt]

I write a lot of stories about prostitution. As they are gay or bi rent-boys, though, they have to go in Gay Male.

 

[Hypoxia]

IIRC we have a longstanding promise of LIT shifting from categories to tags -- which might or might not be implemented before the heat death of the universe. Whatever.

I recall hearing the same. It would fix a lot of problems (e.g. where do you put your gay nonhuman BDSM romance illustrated poem?) though I presume it'd also be a fair bit of work to implement.

For that reason, I suspect we're not likely to see new categories introduced before that happens.

On the occasions I read LW, there are some stories which are written coherently, tell a good story and actually make some sense. I'm not keen on the "hate filled garbage" but sometimes it IS written well, which is, after all, what we all aspire to.
