Another meme gacked from astrogirl2's blog Maximum Verbosity. Actually I knew it already but I was interested to see if they'd get the right answer.

( What kind of novel should I write? )

I got Fantasy, though I might have expected SF to win by a short head.

Maybe when you like your SF more speculative, it can shade into fantasy? I'd have pegged you as SF too.

Shock! Horrors!

Okay, I have to take this one.

vilakins July 31 2005, 03:18:39 UTC

And what did you get?

"Liturateure"

Which as I say in my post strikes me as hilarious because I had a long plotty, Matrix Fanfic I'm on and off writing in mine while taking the test.

*grin* I wound up with Gothic! Do I seem gothic?? I don't think I've even read any gothics... unless you count the classics- Dracula, Frankenstein, Zacherly's Werewolf Stew....

entropy_house July 31 2005, 02:44:47 UTC

No, I just remembered, it was 'Vulture' Stew. But there were werewolves in the book.

vilakins July 31 2005, 03:20:46 UTC

Yeah, me too; the first two anyway. Avon's a bit gothic though. He dresses and glowers the part.

mistraltoes July 31 2005, 07:35:47 UTC

Haven't you done vampires in B7, though? That seems a bit gothic...

I got historicals. It was very interesting, because I've written and enjoyed writing everything except chicklit. I suppose my love of worldbuilding and research helped make it historical. I have always enjoyed writing historical stuff.

vilakins July 31 2005, 21:34:16 UTC

Hey, historical doesn't have to be chicklit. That's romance [shudder]. I enjoy stories about ancient times like I, Claudius, Claudius the God, Beacon at Alexandria, and the humorous but very well-researched Marcus Didius Falco series about the Roman investigator.

kerravongenius July 31 2005, 21:39:42 UTC

I know, chicklit is just the only genre covered that I have never written. My historical stuff includes Musketeer fanfic and the story of a small unit of men involved in the English Civil War and serving under Prince Rupert of the Rhine.

vilakins July 31 2005, 21:48:14 UTC

Ooh, there are people here who lust after Musketeer fic and anything baroque. Where is it? I'm impressed; I couldn't be bothered to do the research.

Ah, see what you mean now. Hmm, I don't write romance, porn, historical (easier to build a world than research one), horror (though one B7 story will have a touch) or occult, and out of that lot I'll only really read historical.
