However, agents don't, because it needs to fit into SOME kind of box, otherwise you can't sell it! ... right?<br /><br />I guess if I had to specify, I'd say literary fictional humor. Which really does not make it sound funny or fun AT ALL.A Beer for the Showerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17029139745335325356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-69698352770649663872012-05-10T08:18:58.083-05:002012-05-10T08:18:58.083-05:00I don;t have a favourite genre.

I have no idea why that is. <br /><br />I'll start with voice. Everything else, including genre, kind of makes itself apparent after a chapter or two.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12314617048592538691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-64520078668438710092012-05-10T04:35:19.559-05:002012-05-10T04:35:19.559-05:00I'll read anything YA, except historical.

Obvs I live in this world, but there are so many fantasies in my head, which I think is why I'm happy bouncing back and forth between the two. <br /><br />I write all contemporary YA. I'm scared of world-building, and I don't think I've got the MG voice down yet.Claire Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354840714847021685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-10924679237305202852012-05-09T19:20:10.288-05:002012-05-09T19:20:10.288-05:00My first love is fantasy then historical, scifi, h...My first love is fantasy then historical, scifi, horror, romance, paranormal, YA, magic realism, plus all the research books which I won't list.

But my own writing is women's fiction, I think, in the most part - with ghosts, dead bodies, murderers and stalkers, oh and a werewolf once!Annalisa Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14943610814274794998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-54856002605006798962012-05-09T12:34:29.054-05:002012-05-09T12:34:29.054-05:00I think my favorite genre to read is historical fi...I think my favorite genre to read is historical fiction or historical fantasy. I would write historical fiction if I thought I could do the research, but I'm pretty sure I'm too much of a slacker to get the historical accuracy right. I write fantasy so I can buy myself a little room to get creative with the details. :)Luanne G.

I also enjoy some sci-fi, and love classic world literature. I've been writing exclusively 20th century historical for a very long time now, but someday I may go back and explore other eras again, like the Civil War, prehistory, the Middle Ages, and various eras of Japanese history.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.com
