I'm writing a story about a life of cross-dressing being forced upon a boy by his mother and his sister. When chapters are written when no sex is involved, I use the transvestite/transsexual category. My question is, when sex between the family members occurs, yet the forced cross-dressing is still a major proponent of the story, does the incest category trump the transvestite category, or does it remain a transvestite tale? Thanks.

There is no hard and fast rule about where you put the story. You story could go equally well in the transvestite/transsexual, the incest or the non-consent/reluctance category if the boy is forced into it. When you get the story written and edited (always get it edited!) then you can read it back again and decide where to place it.

This is a very common situation, for a story to fit into more than one category. Generally speaking, it is put into the category that is the most scandalous, which would be incest, so you could say that trumps the TV category. Remember to be sure the boy and his sister are at least 18 years old or it won't fit anywhere.

If the women use a strapon on the boy's ass, it might even fit into Toys & Masturbation.

Whatrever category you choose, Management will be the people who decide where it goes, and that would probably be Incest/Taboo, even if you suggest something else.

If this is being written as a novel, it would be in the Novellas/Novels category. Otherwise, you can break the chapters up into as many different categories as you want, whichever fits best.

Read the top rated stories from both categories. What you need to find out is this--will the incest folk be okay with the transvestite aspect, or will that ruin the incest for them? Incest is a very popular category, but the most popular categories also have the pickiest readers (being popular means that the category gets a lot of stories and so readers can be more demanding). So while incest readers love stories of boys seduced by mothers and sisters, they may also want the boy to remain a boy.

Meanwhile, readers of transexual/cross-dressing (a less popular category and so more hungry for new stories) may be open to the incest so long as there is cross-dressing.

I'm not saying this is the way it is, just trying to give you an idea of why it's important to get better acquainted with the readership of both. You want to pick the category where your story will be widely read and appreciated. Otherwise you may end up in a category where readers won't give it a chance.

One thing you should not do is split the two parts into different categories. It's tempting, I know, but readers don't usually follow stories from one category to another either because they don't wish to, or they just lose track of where the second part went. Keep them together so fans who enjoy the first part know there's a second part.

Whatever the categories, if the chapters have names like: Panty Boy, Chap. 1, Panty Boy, Chap. 2, etc. they will be in order in the indexes, both your personal one and the public one.

I'm going to have to agree that the incest trumps all. Unless you warn people up front -- spoils the story, I know -- you're going to get beat to death for the TV and non-con elements in the incest category. The latter more than the former.

If there's enough family fun, the readers might completely overlook the TV, but there are a lot of readers in that cat who hate non-con elements. They're looking for love stories or just pure down n' dirty, from what I've gathered from writing in the cat and reading the comments on other stories. If the non-con is mostly related to the cross-dressing, and it doesn't carry over much into the sex, then you might be okay there.

If it was me, I'd put a little warning for the readers up front that the story has TV elements and ( a little? a lot? ) non-con. That gives the readers who won't like that a chance to back-click before you trip their creepy-o-meters. If they're not expecting it, they're liable to down vote you and send you nasty-grams.

You'll probably still get nasty-grams, but those folks were warned, and they wanted to send you one from the beginning. At least you've done a service for the people who will heed the warnings. That's the way I look at it.

Just don't oversell the warning, or sound snotty about it. If the non-con is mostly the TV and he ends up sort of liking it, then I'd go with something like this:

Author's Note: This story does contain coerced cross-dressing. If either of those elements are going to keep you from enjoying the story, then now is the time to run for the back button as fast as you can.

If he never likes the cross-dressing, then swap out "coerced" for "non-consentual" Some might accept the former, but not the latter, and if you undersell it, you might tick them off when it's a little more agonizing for the character than they expected.

You also might want to add a warning if the sex doesn't start until later chapters on a multi-chapter story, if such is the case. Just on the first chapter is fine if you're going to release them back-to-back ( Recommended. Have the story finished before you post Ch. 01. Believe me, I've learned that the hard way ) But you might want that warning on every chapter until the sex hits otherwise.

If there's sex in Ch. 01, no worries for the rest of the series.

I also agree to keep it all in one category -- Incest/Taboo. That's obviously an overriding theme, since it's the sisters forcing the cross-dressing, and it probably leads directly into the sex.

Whatever the categories, if the chapters have names like: Panty Boy, Chap. 1, Panty Boy, Chap. 2, etc. they will be in order in the indexes, both your personal one and the public one.

If you are possibly going to write more than 10 chapters, the index order should be Chap.01; Chap.02; etc. That allows you up to 99 chapters to appear in order. Otherwise Chap.10 will appear after Chap.1 and before Chap.2.
