When I wrote my first submission which was basically an autobiography, I was unaware of how rabid some readers are. I made the mistake of putting it in LW. At the time, I thought "Loving Wives" was a category for stories about married couples having any type extramarital affair, be it cheating, swinging, or in my case, polygamy. Looking back, I wished I had put it in "Group Sex".
The harsh compliments I received were brutal, especially when they are essentially talking about your life. That being said, I don't think they were nearly as harsh as the comments in the link provided by the OP or even Payday's stories. Those readers practically want to hang writers by their scrotums.
I don't think I'll ever write for that category again.
I got lucky and put my fictional "ode to penthouse forum" in EC back in the day. It still got mean comments, but they are all gone now, dunno why...
I just chock it up to whimsy.
You could always edit the story and stick it in GS. Category and Tag changes are easy if you haven't modified the story, it would just take a couple days. You could probably get it done via a PM.
this----^ The site is perfect with the categories it has.You answered your own question....that's what tags are for.
Also, my stories are still in LW, I'd be sad if they got moved. I think the story you reference was a special case of whimsy.
Back to the sub-categories thing, why would it be so much work? I get your point about incest, but that's what tags are for. If the category is so generalized (LW) and is in need of some separation, why not do it? I mean, anal is it's own category and that is in practically every story I read and I've not read a single story in "Anal".
It's generalized specificity.
