Re: What's your genre?
I don't drink tea or coffee, where does that put me?
Re: What's your genre?
My goodness, I leave for a day, because I have a class, and what happens? It's a warzone between the coffee and tea drinkers. You fantasy writers are a rough and ready crowd.
Well, as the fantasy reader I have been instructed I must earn my keep and bring refreshments. I was scratching my head wondering how I was going to satisfy even the most discerning fantasy author pallettes. Then, I remembered it was fantasy, and it all became clear.
Here is what I've brought for you lovely fantasy writers, whose books I will so enjoy (hurry up and get published, please.)
To drink:
(No coffee or tea. Please. Give me alittle credit.) You may choose amidst:
Elixir of Youth
Milk of human kindness
Pure water from the hidden spring of the mist
Diet Coke
Liquid X
To eat:
Nuts and Berries
Fricasse of Dragon liver (flame-broiled)
Golden ambrosia with honey and maple syrup
A big Mac
Liquid X
Dessert:
Angel food cake a la mode
Devil food cake a la mode
Gingerbread cake a la mode
Banana bread
Liquid X (a la mode)
I like ice cream.
Hope I did good. Thanks for letting me attend!

Re: What's your genre?
I find one thing missing: lembas.
Because, really, we can't have fantasy food without it, can we?

I nominate Mira as official fantasy club caterer. All of that sounds better than tea and mousse.

Re: What's your genre?
Thanks Margo. I'm honored. It was no trouble really. And I mean that literally. Have some moose. Um, I mean mouse. I mean chocolate pudding.
Charlee - It gives you super-powers. Wait. What thread am I on?
Claudie - I couldn't find any lembas, but I have some cram. Will that work?
So, what are we going to do at the meeting?

It's not made of ponies, is it?

Re: What's your genre?
Wow I'm on overnights at work for a week and my thread goes crazy :D
Well Mira, you've won me over with your spread but please, no big macs. I'm a Maccas manager and I see WAY too many of those each day. I'd prefer some of Alice's mushrooms - got any on hand?

Re: What's your genre?
I write horror, and read mostly classics, both in horror and other more mainstream classics. I do also read some modern horror and other genres. I try to read a little of just about everything, but horror is always my main love.
Re: What's your genre?
I write YA fantasy/romance/dystopian (what a mouthful!).
It's not as fantasy-ish as other books out there, so I would really hesitate to call it fantasy. However, it has all sorts of "traditional" magical creatures, so I feel like I have to slap it with that tag. I mean, if a book contains a unicorn, magic, merpeople, and giants...I'm fairly certain it's fantasy.
My book centers around two "worlds" (in the Narnia sort of fashion, not time-travel and such), so that's where the dystopian comes in. My futuristic Earth is dystopian, and the other world is a magical medieval sort of place, so that's where you get the fantasy/dystopian split.
The romance isn't exactly key to the plot, but there is simply SO much of it that it's now rather integral. It's so present within the novel that I feel like I have to label it with romance or else irritated romance-haters would feel rather cheated, I suppose.

Post Your Genre Here!
I've become curious about how many genres are represented by those in participating in this Forum. So how about this: Enter your genre and title of MS here. I'll total them all up after we have a few hundred entrees and post the results.
Why should I you may ask? I have no idea... Call it market research? It may even help those looking for Beta readers to find a match.
Devin Briar, Commercial Fiction
The very best to you all, DougM
