Genres

Where's GL? Where's coming of age? I guess drama, comedy and romance? I'd rather vote for more accurate sub-genres than just the general categories, though.

Girls love is a tag, not a genre. That's my problem with this poll. It mixes tags and genres, and then also includes stuff like "fiction" which, duh, most of the stories on the site will be fiction.

I think that one of the big problems with Scribblehub, and just online writing in general, is that stories are classified often by little details rather than a bigger picture.

A story about two girls in love is in the romance genre. I think that stories need to be defined more in this way.

But that's the point. In the online web novel place, tags are basically genres. For example, in traditional books, there would be no "harem".

As far as Scribblehub cares, Girls' Love is a genre.

Even if GL is a subgenre of romance... I don't care for romance as a whole. I care for GL. If you don't let me be specific, the answer you'll get will be incorrect.

Please just consider them as genres.....

Nah :P

I think you may be better off on asking, What types of Medium do you prefer to read in, and if so, in what genre?

That is why you keep getting people pointing out your poll mixes medium type and genre type all in one bag.

I'll copy that and paste it.

It breaks things down to more defined level. Some people might like reading certain genres, but only in certain formats.

Just like some would like a horror story in the form of short stories or novels. But would they like it if it came in the form of a poem? ;)

 

[CadmarLegend]

Yeah.

They may...

They may...

True. Or they may not. Not everyone likes to read poetry.
