Do you try and branch out, so you have stories from a lot of different categories?

If you read my stories, you know I do a lot of . It's kinda what led me to the site in the first place. I've also tried to branch out a bit. I recently posted a love story called, We met on Lushstories.com. I've also tried a few different stories for the group sex, lesbian, voyeur, straight sex, voyeur, and MILF categories too. I really don't think I'll write a crossdressing, gay male, trans, toys, supernatural or spanking. Although, you never know.
Hehe. 'You never know.' I'm in that category. It is whatever it turns out to be. I then have to figure out what category it's in.
Yeah, I have stories in a bunch of different categories here on this fine site known as Lush...at one point, I believe I had the record for most categories here on Lush...though I've since been passed on that one...

I wouldn't say that I necessarily tried to get in the most categories...it just sort of happened as I kept writing, that I ended up with a number of stories that fit different categories...wasn't really something I set out to do though...it's just that when you keep writing, inevitably you'll end up with a variety of stories...

Unless you're one of those people who re-writes the same story a hundred times over...and I've seen that a few times since I started writing four years ago...just sayin'

You know you want it, you know you need it bad...get it now on Amazon.com...
Lush Erotica, an Anthology of Award Winning Sex Stories
I prefer to keep to what I know best.
I've kicked off with a few stories, and for some reason, there's plenty more in the pipe. I'll probably feed the beast and try and get them out of my system.

But in the meantime, I'm desperate not to be typecast as a one trick pony, so my next story is pretty mainstream, albeit a bit hardcore. And I'll follow that up with a BDSM. I want to build up a fairly balanced spread of work, then hopefully shake out a novel with some commercial appeal.
My latest story is a racy little piece about what happens when someone cute from work invites you over to watch Netflix and Chill.
All of my stories have been "branching out" for me. The category I am most comfortable with is "Straight Sex", but I have explored some other categories to try and understand the appeal of them for others. Quite a few stories were done as challenge for myself, and I have plans to write one in a category I find extremely difficult. However, I said that about the story, and over a year after the fact, I'm not really bothered by it. I hope that will be the case if the planned story gets written!

Usually, however, I write a story from an idea, phrase or scenario that pops into my head, and I put it in a category when it's finished. I do think it's good to challenge ourselves, though, so I would encourage everybody to try now and again. It enables us to think more empathetically (I hope!), and explore new ways of thinking that we might not normally. In turn, this can help us to be better writers. It's made me better than I was, anyway.

I tend to write in many genre's but reluctance is probably my favorite. I like to do different things though and sometimes I wonder how readers feel about that. Would they prefer their favorite writer keep to one style and genre? That might be worth a thread of its own.

I don't specifically write "for" a genre, rather, I've just naturally fallen into different ones...

I'd not be averse to writing for just about any category, but I won't write specifically for it..

When I'm ready to post the story, that's when I decide which category it goes into...
As I said on my profile; I'm a very versatile writer, so I haven't really branched out to the many different categories. Rather inspiration strikes me, I write a story, and it could be for any random category.
I pretty much stick to two categories. I come up with senarios which could be straight sex or lesbian and depending on my mood write it as such.
Like many others, I write to complete a story and then work out the category. Once I have my current story finished, I would like to write a story under the constraint of a category for the challenge. There are some categories that I simply have no affinity for - each to their own though.
I have found my most successful stories to be either true stories (with some embellishments for reader pleasure) or really deeply engrained fantasies I've had for a while and had a chance to develop. Since those are in certain categories, that is where most of my stories lie: masturbation, lesbian, light bondage, exhibitionism, etc. I wouldn't have a problem for writing other types of stories, I just don't think they would be as high quality, since it's not what I am truly passionate about.
I'm pretty much with with the lovely Mazza - I start writing and as it progresses it evolves into the category.

One published "Surprise" and another that got tossed back for some editing errors, it's the first chapter of what will become a novel
Knowing me, I'll probably set myself a challenge at some point to write in every category. I like variety and love the freedom that Lush gives for exploring new areas - as you can see by the witches, wizards, dinosaurs, machines and now zombies who have cropped up in my stories here.
I normally just write, and whatever it falls under great, however I have tried to write under all the categories I feel comfortable with. I've written under all but three of them. The other three just aren't ones I'd want to write under.

My favorites though are oral, BDSM, reluctance and lesbian.
I don't really challenge myself to go into different categories, maybe I should. I do experiment with the way I write though, more in the style of writing.

I don't think I've written enough to have a favourite but I think I've written more in straight sex category. But I tend to have a bisexual theme in most of my stories now I've looked at them
