I'm not familiar with the Calm App so I will trust your best judgment on how to nominate the story. If it exists independently as a story outside the Calm App and isn't part of an overarching Calm App mythos, it would be fine to just nominate it as a short story.
You don't have to include a gender preference for an OC or a canonically ambiguous character in nominations, but be aware that if you don't specify a gender for an OC or a canonically ambiguous character in the nominated tag it will be completely up to your creator whether to portray that character as male, female, or nonbinary. If you have enough character nomination slots it would be OK to nominate all four groups with different gender options (His Beloved, His Male Beloved, His Female Beloved, His Nonbinary Beloved). It's up to you.
