Just looking at the different sub genres on the home page. I want to know which genre is easier to write or what is a challenge that grabs you as an author?

I write the story, and then decide which category it fits best. It just so happens that the things I am most comfortable writing about are generally in one or two particular categories. I don't look at them and think, "Now, shall I go for Bisexual with some Spanking and Voyeur on the side?" I just look for the overriding theme of what I wrote and stick it in there (arf arf).

The easiest category to write about is the theme of what you most enjoy writing, I think.

It's easy to write in any of the categories. It's difficult to write well in any of the categories.

I, apparently, do my best writing in the Oral Sex category and I also feel quite comfortable writing a First Time story. I don't know why that is, it just is. I would find it very difficult to write a BDSM, Lesbian or Anal story because I don't have a good enough understanding of them.

My current series of stories, The Ethan Blake Story, is a writing challenge for me in which I attempt to write in the majority of Lush categories. It's... interesting.
I think The easiest thing to write is a forgettable poem.

The hardest thing to write is a good poem.

I think the stories, no matter what category, will be hard to write. I think it has to do more with how ambitious you make your plot and characters. The more complex you make it, the more attention to detail you have to put. Motivations need to make sense. The ending needs to answer questions the reader might have. If you're gonna make your story longer than a couple thousand words, writing something that will be engaging until the end is very difficult.

If you are looking to write something easy then you need to skip the plot and write something like walking in on your girl in the shower and having sex. No need for a plot. You can establish who the girl in the shower is and who the man is in like two sentences then proceed to sex and the ending is a cum shot. Simple. BUT you then have to make the sex an almost ethereal experience to write something interesting, that can be hard. These stories can actually be the biggest turn on to readers because they can see themselves in the story instead of your characters. Having a short story also increases likelihood that it will be read until the end. That kind of writing gets annoying for the author quickly though, but for a first story or for someone starting out, a story like that is almost a given.

In the shower example I gave you.. That can be in a few genres. The genre doesn't really matter when it comes to difficulty. For me anyway.

I totally agree with this. I tend to just write whatever flies from my fingertips and fit it into the category later. Sometimes I do consciously sit down to write a particular genre, but it usually turns out not to be the genre that I wanted it to be (like my latest story was supposed to be a masturbation one but it turned out to be a lesbian one). I think you just have to write whatever comes naturally and forget about writing for a certain genre or at least put genres to the side when you are writing and just let it flow.
The easiest thing to write is a true story. The story is already written in your mind if you lived it. That is why "my first time" stories are a good first story for a beginning author. Of course, the fantasy of how the first time woulda/shoulda gone is also already written in your mind and might make a better story, because you've embellished it to suit your tastes.

The challenge that grabs me as an author is to get the reader to imagine herself in one of the really interesting roles in the story without resorting to the I-do-this-and-you-do-that cheat. When a reader comments that they've imagined themselves in a role that I hoped would appeal, the genre doesn't really matter, because I got inside the reader's head and took her for a ride that left her satisfied. This doesn't necessarily mean sexually satisfied. Just glad she went on the ride.
My latest story is too hot to publish. My most recent story before that is Even Stranger In Lust

there's some truth to that - my Kitty Girl stories (true) and my blondie stories (a healthy dose of truth mixed with fiction) really flow - i sit down, i start typing, i publish - they are easy to write, they flow, they don't take long. Other stories, such as Mrs. V, i WORK at - not to say they aren't fun to write, but they come slower, i have to put a lot more blood sweat (cum) and tears into them - in some ways, i love them all the more for that. in other ways, i resent them. smile

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I've written poetry, straight sex, reluctance, anal and first time stories. In all of these the writer needs to built up the excitement and create an atmosphere that draws the reader in.
For me the easiest category to write is because the very subject brings the drama and excitement just by being .
In fact one major reason I don't write often is simply because it lacks a challenge. There is also the fact that. I don't care to be viewed as an " writer" because I sense a certain schism there that causes some people to shy away from some of my other work.

What genre is easiest? That's easy! It's *your* favorite genre! It's the genre that probably has the most stories you have read yourself. The genre that dominates your porn collection.

At the end of the day, you write what you know.

What genre is easiest? I think depends on what you're into in your real life and finding the genre that fits you.
There's no easier or difficult genre. It is what you're at ease with and usually it depends on the story you have in mind. smile Just take some time to write and there's no need to rush.

The challenge would be what you feel would be the hardest to write. I mean what's easy for one may be difficult for someone else.
Personal preferences aside, IMHO, Love Stories and are the two easiest. MiliK did a great job of setting out the reasons for, , the plot(will they, won't they, what happens next?) and tension is almost inescapable.

The same applies to, Love Stories. The classic "boy gets girl -- boy loses girl -- boy gets girl back" plotline with its seemingly unlimited variations makes creating a fully fleshed out story relatively easy.

Best advice I can give is to heed what Shyless and others have said, write YOUR story, then worry about the category. Good luck.

I think for most writers the genre or category they find easiest to write in is the one they know the most about. For Me, that's BDSM. But for others it could be bisexual, lesbian, straight sex, or whatever they are most interested in.

My most difficult genre by far is poetry - I HATE writing poetry! But others find it very easy and have a hard time writing a story instead.
