Started in Oz where we call it Movember. By the end of the month Australia looks like a 70s porn set 

 

I don't see a problem...

Hush 1810, no giving away spoilers! Teasing, sure. But never the complete truth. :no:

70s porn is the true story behind the Davenport fortune  :o

 

Are you talking about that video floating around of Brett and JP going at it while they were at Cal Berkley? That wasn't done for money!

 

:o That's not true!! Take that back!!  :angry:

Isn't that what authors do?  :huh:

.

Authors of fiction anyway!

What Kitt said and I'll let you in on a little secret B, but shh, don't tell anyone.  Carlos is now and has always been, writing CJ's biography.

So I have a question for anyone who follows this thread.

 

I've removed all tags from the 5 CJ stories and kept only the Drama genre there because the system requires at least one.

 

Those two things always drive me nuts, I'm never sure what to use. I'd like your help. Your suggestions of genres and/or tags for each of the stories or general ones for all of them as a group would be welcome. Maybe by asking the readers how they'd categorize the stories, I'll be able to figure it out.

Carlos,

 

To me your stories are mostly 'coming of age' but also fit young adult and others.  I guess it would be best to include the major ones that fit and maby simply include a little more info to the story notes.  I find the descriptions and story notes much more informative than the genre tags.  With this in mind, when I search only the catagory fits my lookup (coming of age, young adult, mature etc...). I do not care about the sex part in the story.  If the story is well written (as your are) the sexual bits are simply extra dressing for the salad.  Just my thoughts, your milage may vary.

Thanks for the praise, Rob.

 

I think I can live with a coming of age tag. I haven't been happy with the teen label because, although the the MC's one, I'm using teens as a tool to explore adult themes. Much like Orson Scott Card did in Ender's Game. An no I'm not comparing my skills to his. lol

 

Travels will end after two more chapters and I want to settle on a few tags which can be used consistently, allowing for one or two variations when appropriate. Like taggin the books with trips to Oz with Australai.

 

I appreciate the feedback.

Story Tags - I looked at the tags list under the stories tab. Didn't find one or two I was thinking of so maybe they can be added manually? 

 

my picks

 

young adult, teen, high school (since most of the characters are high school age), coming of age, friendship(s), parents, family, brothers 

 

I'll let you know if I think of some more options.

I like family a lot but I don't think it's an option. I also like urban. The story takes place in a large metropolitan area, okay Miami and NYC would make that 3, and the attitudes and experiences of living in a city are very different than in a small town.

 

I've had a few comments about some of my situations not being something they can relate to from folks in rural areas.

I didn't see urban as an option, but that is an excellent one, for sure.

Well I can tell you damn well what it's not gonna be, and that's romance! Right Carlos? :lmao:

 

Come on! Doesn't Harley's love for motorcycles and cars count as romance? :D

 

You might be surprised when Walls starts posting!
