She sparkles in the sunlight.

We went climbing through the trees this one time, and I clung to her back while she flew from tree to tree, and the camera started spinning around nonsensically until we both wanted to throw up, and...

Okay, yeah, I'm done now.

At least you hung on tight, Spider Monkey.

Then I brought her back to my family's uber-modern house (*_*) and I played the jaw harp piano for her. Then it was time for baseball!

It's sad that I remember all this.

And then I turned up with my other vampire buddies and wanted to eat the mortal. Yes, I read it too, although I stopped shortly after baseball for fear of hurling.

This place is so dead that I feel like shooting myself just to fit in.

Seriously guys, it's my birthday. Entertain me. Or if you're the "entertain yourself, you entitled b******" type, then hold still so I can do so. *pulls out matchbook*

Dually duly noted. And am I reading into this too much, or were you particularly cautious to not mention the gender of the "someone wearing a bikini?"

...What's Astinus doing with that video recorder?

(Thanks for humoring me. I'm so dang bored. XD)

Happy birthday then, txt.

Seriously, people and things, I can't believe this place was gonna dead by, how long, three days? And these lapses of muteness are becoming more common, or is it just myself spending too much time in the Lounge?

Thanks. And it's probably not a decrease in activity, but rather that I'm pointing it out more these days due to not having better things to do. It's kind of depressing either way.

Thanks bro. Let's see how many nicknames I can pick up by the end of the day! XD
Anyway, I think I'll inject some action into this thread.

What's your least-favorite genre, and why?

For me, it's realistic fiction. The kind that attempts to accurately emulate real life with fake characters. The genre feels so pointless. If I want realism to that degree, I'll read non-fiction, you know? I mean, I've seriously read stuff that was like "boring female character had this for breakfast, and her grandmother said such-and-such, and then she went to the grocery store." Well thank you, Captain Yawn, for reiterating how boring everyday life is.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, TXTECLIPSE!

*wheels in a cake of his own, and leaves. Shortly afterwards, Sentret with flamethrowers pop out and grin*

Hmm...maybe realistic fiction as well, although I have read some good books on that, admittedly. But the bad ones tend to be boring, and the worst book I've ever read fell into that genre. >_<

Not a biggie with Romance either, or dark Horror... that's just me though.

Sentrets with flamethrowers and bikini clad someones. This is getting outrageous. I like it!

...Whoa. Total Sheogorath moment there. Cookies to whoever knows what I'm talking about.

And speaking of genres, is it possible to have too many in one fic? I know it's kind of a bizarre question, but the Eon Chronicles is seriously turning out to be a fantasy/adventure/horror/drama/slice of life/comedy/lots of other things fic. Might that turn people off that don't like one of said genres?

And, uh, to actually contribute to the thread...

I don't really like autobiographies. I don't know exactly why, I guess it just bugs me when people with boring lives publish books about them. xD

I was watching the same problem unfold at the PC FF Catalog thread, you know, the instructions say choose two genres and people pile up to eleven. Essentially, I don't think it is possible to have too may different genres in a story. If it seems to happen, it's either people are giving their works genres their works don't have the attributes for, or the concepts of the genres theirselves has been fuzzily taught.

Eon Chronicles being fantasy/adventure/horror/drama/slice of life/comedy/lots of other things fic thing of sorts? My advice would be to categorize it using the literary technique and the tone only, rather than content, because plot, or the story itself, is the emelent that expands and allows inclusion (and henceforth confusion). I read some of it too long ago to reember correctly, but I'd use Mystery/Adventure.

As a rule of thumb, I don't catalogue anything as Fantasy or Sci-fi unless I can clearly exclude the other genre's component as accidental, or intended for parody. Otherwise it is SciFantasy (a completely different, more encompassing thing). Same with Tragedy/Suspense (I umbrella them under Drama). I don't consider things like "Supernatural" or "Hurt/Comfort" as genres, either. Horror and Action are for me a special case (they completely stand on their own, no questions asked).

Oh, whatever... If to contribute anythhing to this thread, I'll say I don't like horror. More properly, I don't enjoy it. Don't know why. And I'm quite selective with parodies. If it isn't done in the style and pace of movies like "Airplane!", I can't enjoy it.

I have so many mods that my Oblivion folder is twice its original size. :O

Anyway, that all makes sense Solovino. I categorize the E.C. as primarily adventure/drama, but there are elements of all those other things I listed. I guess a better question would be how much of an undesirable genre (or subgenre) a person could tolerate if the rest of the fic was to their liking.

...Which is kind of a dumb question, now that I think of it. It all depends on the reader, I'd imagine.

...And I write for myself, so why am I even asking these questions?

EDIT: bobandbill's a mod now too? I'm beginning to feel left out here.
