I tested it and started by selecting sort by 'Date' Asc and the first story I got was from 2006. I think 2006 is when I added the western tag.
Did you choose other categories? Or other criteria, like read/unread or whatever?
The genre was added before the tag, so you can search on genre to get 5 more stories from 2003 to 2006.
To get Western from 1999 to 2003 however, you can only search on the description or the title for western, cowboy, ranch, wagon, west, ...
I took another look and I think I checked western in the category and also in the Genre
where does Kansas fit
In the last place Arkan saw.
Also, it's considered southern, as there is no Plains category. Thank God, because the only good scene in the whole Airplane movie was when they took out the radio station playing disco, and killed it. I don't know that they folded, spindled, and mutilated it as well, but they should have.
it's considered southern,
Depends on the date of the story. Write a story about Dodge City, Kansas and Wyatt Earp and it's a Western.
Write a story about Dodge City, Kansas and Wyatt Earp and it's a Western
The story is western, Kansas is still southern.
SALTHAWKS!
The story is western, Kansas is still southern.
Back then I believe it was the West (because there wasn't much west of it).
Kansas is still southern.
If you want to be pedantic about it, Kansas is Southwestern.
Generally, when most Americans think of "The South" they are thinking of the former confederate states, which would NOT include Kansas.

The Confederacy included the states of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina and Virginia.
If you want to be pedantic about it
Why would I do that? I was simply replying to, and expanding upon, the question asked originally?
If there is Eastern, Northern or Southern as categories, where does Kansas fit?
Do YOU see Southwestern as a choice of those three? If so, you might need to go get your eyes checked, since it's NOT THERE. So, if you only have THOSE THREE CHOICES, then it's Southern. Sure as hell not Eastern, if only because it's on this side of the Mississippi River. Not Northern, because the state is south of the middle of the continental US. That leaves Southern, doesn't it?
By the way, the ONLY reason Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state - which most of the residents wanted - was that happened the same day as most of the Southern Senators left Congress during the secession, and couldn't block its admission.
As I stated previously - since there is no Plains category in the choices, then you're SOL - and that doesn't mean StoriesOnline!

According to the US Census Bureau:
The Midwestern United States, also referred to as the Midwest or the American Midwest, is one of four census regions of the United States Census Bureau (also known as "Region 2"). It occupies the northern central part of the United States.[1] It was officially named the North Central Region by the Census Bureau until 1984.[2] It is between the Northeastern United States and the Western United States, with Canada to the north and the Southern United States to the south.
The Census Bureau's definition consists of 12 states in the north central United States: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Why'd you go there for information, when I have a much better (and not so boring) source here?
Not Northern, because the state is south of the middle of the continental US. That leaves Southern, doesn't it?
I am not sure how you figured Kansas is south of the middle of the continental US. By my calculations the midpoint between the northern most point of the Continental US (49.16N) and the southernmost point (24.33N) comes out to be just shy of 37 degrees north which is the southern border of Kansas. Pretty darn close to being right in the middle.
By my calculations
Well, they're wrong. Okay, they're not TECHNICALLY wrong (although it's actually 49.23N and 24.27N), but they fail to take into account geography.
The actual geographic center of the continental United States is just north of Lebanon, Kansas, which makes Kansas south, as it's within a dozen miles of Nebraska.
geographic center of the continental United States
The geographic center of the United States is a point approximately 20 mi (32 km) north of Belle Fourche, South Dakota at 44°58′2.07622″N 103°46′17.60283″WCoordinates: 44°58′2.07622″N 103°46′17.60283″W. It has been regarded as such by the U.S. National Geodetic Survey (NGS) since the additions of Alaska and Hawaii to the United States in 1959.
This is distinct from the contiguous geographic center, which has not changed since the 1912 admissions of New Mexico and Arizona to the 48 contiguous United States, and falls near the town of Lebanon, Kansas. This served as the overall geographic center of the United States for 47 years, until the 1959 admissions of Alaska and Hawaii moved the geographic center of the overall United States approximately 550 mi (885 km) northwest by north.
Geographic Center vs. Median Latitude
One could use any of a hundred different ways to figure where the middle is depending on what they are trying to determine.

Grinning Dick questions aren't important enough to waste any more time over so back to reading stories I go.
