This might be a first for me: asking for input on the right category for a story. I think I have a pretty good grip on this issue most of the time, but not in this case.
I don't want to reveal too much about the story, but it involves a Dom/sub relationship over a 10-week period during the summer that is based on fetishy role play. So I think it could be either Fetish or BDSM. Older man-Dom/young woman-sub. The BDSM is not hard-core: there's a clear master/pet relationship, but little bondage or sadomasochism. The fetishy elements will be very strong. There's also a growing romantic angle to the story as it goes along.
I know exactly how I want to write the story, so I'm not going to write for a category; I just want to pick the best category for the story as I write it. My typical goal is to try to find the largest appreciative audience, as opposed to seeking the highest score. I don't have enough experience with either category to be sure of which one is right. Both BDSM and Fetish tend to have relatively few views, although I note that a Fetish story ranks very high on the most-viewed stories of the last 12 months. I'm leaning toward Fetish, but am not sure. Thoughts?
