Category: Loving Wives
Simple tip: Hoo doggies.
If you're looking for high scores, this isn't your place. If you're looking for lots of comments and possibly followers, it can be.
The category is meant for stories where a spouse, usually a wife, has sex with someone not their spouse. There are stories that do not include this dynamic there, but it's not the "right" place for most of those. However, the flipside of this is that, due to a shift in the readership over time, stories of happy swinging/sharing/swapping and especially cheating are not as well-received there as stories where the infidelitous spouse is caught and drama ensues.
I wrote a whole essay on how to approach the category and why you may or may not want to, but the TL;DR is that there are a bunch of competing camps of readers there, several of which who hate the types of stories the others love. You'll get a ton of criticism, both fair and unfair (along with a bit of unhinged), but a fair bit of it will be on the technical aspects of your writing, which is golden when you're just starting out.
They like mid-length stories there; if it's longer than 10K words or so, break it into chunks. Character development, plotting, and the other basics of storytelling are paramount there, much more than erotic writing. Even stories with no sex can do pretty well if they obey those rules.
