    Genre?

    What genre are you writing in? It would be interesting to know which genre would come in first in a list of everyone doing this. My guess would be fantasy. Mine is mystery. Anyone? Faergen

    Mine is a mixture of comedy, sci-fi, and fantasy.

    On the Nano site, they have it listed.

    1. Fantasy-Word Count-35588369
    2. Other-Word Count-29320634
    3. Literary Fiction-Word Count-23911911
    4. Science Fiction-Word Count-14447119


    At first, mine started being Other, but I now believe it would be more Fantasy than anything else. It figures--I normally write Fantasy and Horror.

    I put mine as science fiction because that's probably the main genre.

    I would say mine is comedy, chick lit.

    Literary fiction... Maybe. It has some fantastical elements, but I'm drawing off of mythology and magic is definitely not the focus of it. The focus is my main character and how she goes from being an Achilles-like character to someone a little more humble, more hesistant to kill, and much wiser.

    There's also a lot of stuff dealing with their gods and the strangely dressed pale men's god.

    Ditto on the Literary Fiction.

    Possibly Historical Fiction--in a round about way.

    I'll call it "Other" because I don't think it fits anywhere else.

    Literary fiction is supposedly "genre-less" fiction, although it really is its own genre (pretentious writers like to differentiate between literary and genre fiction). Basically, literary fiction focuses on characters and their development over the plot.

    Other, 'cause this little something fits nowhere except for my wandering mind. There's this fantasy thing going on, with the alternative history and whatnot, and the absence of the human race...We're boring, that's all.
    One-ups, man.
