IOHO is an archive highlighting quality writing and good storytelling, in the opinion of the archivists. The IOHO archivists do not note genres, story types, or romantic/sexual pairings in the title listings. However, in most cases, clicking on a title will link you to a cover page with a short excerpt from the story and illustrative photos. In turn, the cover page links to the text where the authors themselves assign genre and ratings to their stories.
