Genre labelling works for me!
I prefer to not label. but just enjoy. If it takes extra effort for you to label, please don’t.
Andrew Mayne podcasts his books. The narrator is Justin Robert Young of Twit Nsfw fame.

I think genre labeling is a wonderful idea to orient readers, since many free fiction authors are not well known. Please keep doing it!
Genre labeling is fun!
As someone who is notoriously nomenclature-challenged, I look forward especially to seeing where the Daily Science Fiction stories end up getting slotted! (Oh, so that story we took is a Monster story.)
That one was your fault. I just read the URL. 🙂
