I've written a few romantic short stories (if you can call them that), as well as a couple of parodies of the Bible.
I think every letter I write is an epistolary, but I think that might just be arrogance.

For that matter, what is Google? And, even more pertinent, what is Dictionary.com?
Give me strength!!!

Compliments of Google:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epistolary_novel
Compliments of Dictionary.com:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/epistolary
Can't get much clearer than that.

When in Rome . . . . .

HAH! Backward Ox you're an uberian!
My, the internet is a smaller place than you'd think it is. Any chance I'd recognise your screen name if you have one?

Probably not.
And I haven’t been there in a while.
In addition, what little I posted there is extremely amateurish from a writer's perspective.
See my reply to your pm.

The majority of my writting is erotica. My most current writing is between erotica and horror. I personally dont like to post my writing until I am completely content with it but I did slip a snippet into the workshop.

Forgot a genre (which isn't so much a genre as The Best Way)
Literary Fiction.
Horror? Why yes, let me do something that's been done so many times, it has its own name.
Erotica? Well, that's alright.

Well, the only things you can really write are dramas, comedies, and tragedies. All other genres are just offshoots.
I suppose we may as well just stop writing after all, eh?

By ancient Greek definition comedies and tragedies are dramas, and those dramas are what we call plays. So technically you have dramas, epic and lyric poetry. Yeah so we are screwed, big time.
Sorry about that,you see, I'm a student at a classic highschool (greek, latin etc.) so they're stuffing us with ancient literature and their systematics.
It kinda rubs off on me.
