In the past, there has been some discussion about what stories should fit into what category. But hopefully we’ve solved that problem! Each category now has a description that goes along with it to hopefully help you FoLCs understand what stories belong there. If there is still any confusion, feel free to email the Kerth Committee and ask. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
