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?

I actually wrote some! Unfortunately, I realized that I was starting the scene at the wrong point -- traveling really is boring -- so I need to rewrite the scene starting from the new, more active point. So, a few hundred words down the drain, to be replaced with more and better words.

I guess most of my writing tends to be in fandoms that are based on classic literature -- Romeo & Juliet, and I wrote one in Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen) for Yuletide last year -- so they're historical fiction for me to write, even though they were contemporary when they were written by the original authors, since I do not live in Shakespearean or Regency England. But then I've written in 10th Kingdom, which is fairy tale/fantasy, and also 30 Rock which is . . . crackfic, pretty much by virtue of the show's nature. My original fiction tends to be historical fantasy romance.

So, historical fiction, I guess? But also a little fantastical sometimes. And I like drama! Melodrama, some might say. :P

As for genres I'd like to write in, is "finished" a genre? It really should be!

Oh, the sting of surprise!sacrificial text (when you write something only to get rid of it). The good thing is that you now know where you want to take that story.

"Finished" should TOTALLY be a genre. XD!
