What category?

[EveSin]

I have a story about a forty something respectable wife who goes away for a weekend with a group of much younger women gets carried away and gets fucked by a guy less than half her age. Husband is not in story and does not know. What do you think would be best fit, loving wives, mature, erotic couplings or, as she exposes herself more than she has ever, done exhibitionist and voyeur?

Well, unless you want to be bombed by the burn the bitch crowd in Loving Wives, I would suggest either of the two you mentioned, Mature or Erotic Couplings.

Yes. I think this makes sense. Although, ultimately, it depends on the nub of the story. What will the readers be expecting?

Just stay away from Loving Wives unless you know what you're getting into in that category. I write there off and on but I was warned in detail before I jumped in.

Erotica Couplings or Mature would be your best choices I think. Loving Wives will get you views, one star ratings from some and your very own trolls. All fun for some of us, but I wouldn't jump in there unawares. And it doesn't sound so much like a Loving Wives story if the husband has no idea.

I would say Erotic Couplings from the description you provided.

It is sometimes hard to know where to place a story that over-laps several categories. A few months ago I wrote a satirical story set in the late 1980s about a successful married couple in their early 40s, where they rarely have sex due to the husband's weird obsessions, and the wife secretly lusting after younger women. The wife works as a real-estate broker, and deceives a naïve newlywed couple into buying at an inflated price a house reputed to be haunted and located across the road from a large dysfunctional family where the kids cause no end of trouble. Even as I was writing the story, I pondered the category. Lesbian? Supernatural? Erotic Couplings? Humor and Satire? Eventually I went for Lesbian, as the main focus of the story is the main female character's lesbian fantasies becoming reality.

However, I am struggling with one of my current works about 3/4 complete, about a very pretty but very overweight 25-year-old virgin Jewish girl, who meets a very nice-looking black guy on vacation who just happens to have a fetish for overweight white girls. What category here? Erotic Couplings as it is heterosexual sex? Fetish, as much of the focus is on how overweight the girl is and would appeal to BBW fetishists? Interracial as the story is white girl - black guy? First time, as the girl is a virgin despite being in her mid-20s? Humor & satire, as the girl often finds herself in comical situations?

Sounds very much like a LW story to me. You'd get a lower score there, but you'll get the most reads. And comments... some of which will be abusive.

I tend to approach it from the opposite angle. Who is going to be most annoyed when it doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin?

There's always someone ready to flame you in anything. Categorising stuff is not easy in here, after all the work we've done to create the work. I get the impression the management does it whatever you choose. Yes it can be a problem, good luck.
Loving Wives sound much like Mums Net for bitchiness.
