im working on a short story (well 3 pages in a ms document) which i might post here, unfortunatly the way i wrote it (it was writen for a female friend of mine) it does not exactly have charicters. rather it is completely writen as You and Me. (you feel me touch your tender lips with my own) not having names. i suppose its completely ambugouis so that it can appeal to every one. but im confused of how i should define this As well as what i should place it and name it.

any one wish to help me?

i might post here my other well of ideas that i have here as well looking for oppions and feed back.

I'm still new here, but I think I understand enough of the way story categories work to try to help you. The content of the story determines where it should be placed more than the style in which it is written. For example, if it largely involves anal sex, your best bet would be to put it in the Anal category. As for the name, I saw an article in the Writer's Resources section about how to title a story. I hope this helps.

If the story seem's ambigous then maybe an ambigous title will do. As for listing, list it as you see it and the Lit editor's will change it if they think it is in the wrong place.

On the other hand you could send it to an editor who will check it out for you and answer all of your questions.

I'd recommend re-writing it to either first or third person perspective. "You" stories don't tend to score all that well. In particular first person present tense annoys more people than enjoy it.

Your best bet is to change all the "you" references to "her" "she", etc. You can keep the ambiguity and leave in all the "I" references to keep it personal.

It's your story, and at the end of the day do what you want. If you really want to keep it "you/me" your best bet is Letters and Transcripts, however that category doesn't get the volume of reads Erotic Couplings gets. Erotic Couplings is a great catch-all category which is probably where this would best go.
