Random Poll of the Day! (91)

[Kor]

2 votes max since there are a lot of novels that fit under more than one genre, but don't feel like you must to choose two, of course.

I can't decide... except for historical fiction (which I know little of history and its accuracy to give the genre justice), modern day romance (which seems more like sex), sci-fi and fantasy (I'm too uncreative to make another world that doesn't seem like the one I live in), horror (because I can't be scary...), and books that cater to younger audience (because they sound partly childish), I'd try to write them if I can think of a good novel (not meaning new) idea.

What's commercial fiction?

sci-fi and fantasy (I'm too uncreative to make another world that doesn't seem like the one I live in)

Fantasy story doesn't have to be set in another world. It can also be our world, only with some added fantasy elements......................................like Twilight! *Gets shot*

horror (because I can't be scary...)

My way to insert horror and/or dark themes into the sequels of my novel - start bright and then turn it dark with some psychological twists here and there. (though yeah, I wouldn't qualify it as horror)

and books that cater to younger audience (because they sound partly childish)

That's usually the point  ;D

What's commercial fiction?

Most commercial fiction is plot-driven with formulaic characters who represent the protagonist and the antagonist. It is important for a commercial fiction novel to be highly entertaining and of mass commercial appeal.

[Akonyl]

fantasy mystery.

If you ever get stuck in a plothole... explain it with magic!

[Kor]

fantasy mystery.

If you ever get stuck in a plothole... explain it with magic!

That's what we need - A detective wizard.

Mystery, and

At first I didn't intend to vote in this poll (since I've already written stuff), but then I thought of a story which I will NEVER EVER write. A story that is both Science Fiction and Fantasy.
Two worlds collide with each other. One has magic, the other technology. Eventually, they start a war against each other. Who will win?

Oh great, and now, after I thought about it, the idea will not leave me for days and I will develop it more and more. DAMN IT!

The best thing in the story, is that you have to choose which faction you like more. I will have to try hard to not make it look like good vs. evil, so the reader will have to choose for who he cheers. It's a tough one, but-

NO! STOP THINKING! ARGHHHHHH *shoots himself*

[Abs.]

Naw, they wouldn't necessarily collide.  They can peacefully coexist.

[Akonyl]

this has never happened ever.

[alicetama]

Fantasy and Mystery with a hint of Romance.

I actually intend to be an author someday, like Kor.

[Dus]

Mystery, thriller, or a dystopian novel.

[PhoenixTears]

The one I last worked on (and got stuck and haven't dug myself out of writer's block on it yet) was Mystery/Fantasy.
