Adult

The main characters and focus is on adults.

Child

The main character is under 12 years old, or the focus of the story is childhood.

Coming of Age

The focus is the time in someone's life when they are neither child nor adult, that angst filled, yearning age between 12 and 18.

Edge

One man's tool is another man's torture. Edge stories explore the boundaries of the author's comfort. Please include an author's note (not included in word count) to explain why it is edgy for you.

Fan Fiction

Decided Johnny Smith's ex-wife needed the wishy-washiness removed by a good, hard over-the-knee session from Walt Bannerman in The Dead Zone? Think the Tudors need an extended spanking scene? Spend hours thinking about how spankalicious Spock is? Then this is the category for you. Write the scenes that are missing from your favorite book, TV show, or film. Be sure to include a note stating where this is from. Links to Wikis are helpful, and in some cases may be necessary.

Historical

For period pieces set back in time. Set your spanking back in Egypt during construction of the Pyramids, or try to capture a dust bowl day flavor. This category is for those of you who understand that history doesn't mean the time when you had breakfast yesterday.

Parody

This is for you pervs who want to take something boringly vanilla and twist it to our own nefarious purposes. Copies of the source material for comparison are not included in word count.

Picture

See if you can find inspiration in one of the pictures below.

Same Sex

This category is for the hot contemporary man-on-man or woman-on-woman action some of us love so well.

Science Fiction/Fantasy/Horror

For those of you for whom the Real World is not enough, who need a little sorcery with their sword, some space with their frontier, or a big lusty werepony to feel complete (and who wouldn't be horrified to find out that they've got the glamorous power to become . . . a pony?).
