Question of the Day - Tuesday, May 3

[cassiopea]

Helloooooo to all! Happy first Tuesday of Maaaaayyy!

What type of genre would you choose if you were an author?







I would opt for non-fiction most of all, write about lesser known but fascinating historical events or topics. If I were to do fiction, likely adventure-fantasy or horror.

 

[neely]

Non-fiction and definitely biographical.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Memoir. It's what I write most already.

 

[Lari]

Fantasy. That was always my favorite to write. Or historical fiction. Or maybe combine them for time travel!

 

[posiepurrs]

I would love to do historical fiction, but all I have ever written were articles for a cat magazine.

 

[minish]

Fantasy like those that resemble real life and history but not quite so. Even better with a humor twist like Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams but I don't have the talent for humor

 

[susanm9006]

Fiction. Mystery, but not murder mystery. Sort of Nancy Drew type mysteries for adults.

 

[Katie M]

Historical fiction, maybe something set in the first half of the 20th century.

 

[maggiedemi]

Romance, Biography/True Stories, True Crime.

 

[CatladyJan]

Mystery

 

[Silver Crazy]

Sci-FI and Time Travel..tie up two of my favorite subjects in one..science and history

 

[strider rose]

fantasy ... i write about cats mostly

 

[mani]

Non fiction on some aspect of Yoga, probably. Fantasy if fiction.

 

[Elphaba09]

I actually have some published academic papers on literary theory and a chapbook of poetry. I have an unpublished novel and two novels in the works.

For non-fiction, I would stick to literary theory and criticism. For non-fiction, I would like magical (possibly historical) realism, modern gothic, or, like Lari , something with time travel. I also enjoy speculative fiction.

 

[MoochNNoodles]

I would probably write nonfiction best; but I’d love to write historical fiction.

I am currently working on 2 stories, although I haven't actually written anything in way too long. One is a romantic fiction set in a semi-realistic, pirate based universe. Focused on the romance between the pirate captain who struggles with her vulnerability and feelings.
The other is going to be a horror/thriller story. A killing game setting where 7 contestants are dropped in a building together, and only 1 is allowed to leave. But this one is still in its very early stages
