The Lodestar Contest

Hi there, Moonstone, and thank you for your interest in the contest and your question. Answering questions lets me feel like I'm doing something while I wait on entries to read.

As for your question, I'm going to paraphrase something I told Beholden: As long as you can put "Romance" into the first genre choice box (on your item's edit/creation page) with a nod rather than a wince, you're good on the genre selection. After that, you just have to make sure you include the detail that goes along with each genre on the list. Any additional genres (such as dystopian!) are completely up to you.

I see you're a newer member of WdC—welcome to the site!—and there's a lot to take in around here, so please feel free to let me know if you run into any more hurdles.
