My influences in writing include Vulgus, MaryS, Vanessa Evans, Amanda Serve, Mike McGifford, ByDaSea.
I have written stories set in Post-Civil War Reconstruction, Fantasy settings like Game of Thrones, but 98% of them are in Middle America suburbs or trailer parks because I write what I know.
Most of my stories involve BDSM, Humiliation and all have some aspect of incest and taboo.
However, I don't think those are a "genre". They are on SOL, but to me they are more like a theme or element. Bondage is what is happening during the story, sex is a byproduct but none of that is what the story is really about.
I often enjoy writing stories where someone who has little to no understanding of BDSM is suddenly introduced to it. You could call that a "Coming of Age" story which is most certainly a genre but it isn't always applicable because the main character may already be of age.
The main characters are often flawed individuals, who are painfully shy or extremely bitchy and controlling. I enjoy that. I enjoy starting them with the flaw, using it as part of the story and then by the "Act 3" of the story they have made the weakness into a strength or evolved into something new.
You could also make a case for "Fish out of water" stories. The Nephew who visits his naughty aunt and horny cousins is a recurring theme.
You could make the case that some of my stories involve non-consent, but almost all of them are more consensual in nature. I don't mind a good blackmail story, but the main character always has a choice. I seldom blackmail any characters who weren't reprehensible to begin with. If I do blackmail a relatively good person, I usually give them a triumphant victory over their blackmailer.
I guess you could also make the case that many of my stories involve people dynamically developing a power exchange relationship. I don't think there are many authors who play with that theme. (If you know of one let me know).
What I mean by this is (As an example) is Do You Have a Big Dick, Why Not?

In that story, the shy girl that the main character likes has a secret life at home. She and her mom and older sister are camgirls. The reason for the title was the mom asks if him a question about the size of his cock. She implies that if he doesn't have a big dick, money or coke, then why is he wasting her time?
It was something a stripper asked me years ago.
In the story, the relationship evolves to him being sort of a "manager"/"Dom" and they establish boundaries/limits and develop a power exchange relationship of give and take where everyone gets what they wanted out of the story.
One of the more recent examples would be "Horny But Not Desperate" where the main character meets a mother whose daughter wanted to learn submission, and they also have a dynamic set of rules that they evolve as the daughter grows in her understanding and interest.

I also write NIS (Naked in School) stories, which I consider a genre, but I don't write enough of them to say that is my niche. I also tend to write a certain kind of NIS story that is unusual for the genre. Mine often involve more kinky aspects than most. (NIS: Puppy Student Program).

I kind of missed the ball on this one The acronym could have been PIS - Puppy in School, which would have been double entendre fun.
Are you able to articulate a "Genre" for most of my stories without simply picking a category of fetish?
I'd be curious what thoughts you have if you are an avid reader. I am surprised I have 850 readers but probably only 3 or 4 ever email regularly with any sort of feedback. I definitely appreciate constructive thoughts.
I don't have to have a genre label. I may never have one, but I'd be curious if I do without realizing it. Is there a word for the type of stories that I tell?
