OK, and now, for today's questions: are the majority of your fics based on one genre? Do you ever write a genre that'd be considered the reverse of that? Is there a genre you wish you could try out but haven't?

Yeah, posting started a while ago. My second/last posting date for queer_fest is the 25th, but I've still got the Wednesday after that if I need it. You can't beta a 46k fic in an hour, so I'm willing to give my beta as much time as she needs to get it done. I'd have liked to get it posted tomorrow, but I'd rather the extra time to polish it.

IDK, I was a bit like that too, but AU bingo gave me all sorts of interesting ideas for genres/AUs I hadn't tried yet so I was wiling to go for it. I think it's easier to experiment with new genres with something like a bingo card because it's only one fic for a bingo, rather than, say, sitting down and deciding you're going to write zombies today. Or something. IDK, it works for me, and I don't see the harm in trying a new genre at least once, just to see if it's any fun and if it's something I'm any good at. But if the plot bunny's not there, it is harder to write. That's possibly why I threw so much crack and humour into my detective fic. I didn't think I had the ~smarts~ to write a proper detective story. I can't plot like that, but I can write puns, so puns won out. :D
