Got a genre that is not on the list of choices? Then add it to the list here and we'll see if it's appropriate and then if so [Font] will put it towards [Hedda]. This page is ran by [-deleted-] so feel free to ask him anything.

New! Perhaps the best way to approach this would be to have a section where you could select either fictional or factual, then select genre, then target market.

So having Factual - travel, (which could be about Spain) would be noticeably different from Fictional - Travel (which could be about a made up land) then with the addition of target group you could extend the categorization of your work to: Fictional - Travel - Young Adult

To make this more logical I have removed the following genres.

removed genres: Non-fiction, Young Adult Fiction

Also Please vote at Genre Poll. Sorry to anyone who had listed their name as a supporter!

2005-06-23 [Hedda]: Can I have a list of supporters on every suggestion? So that I know how many that actually are writing that.

2005-06-23 [Veltzeh]: So, we'll add our name after every suggestion?

2005-06-23 [Shanra]: Can't we add a short description of the genre as well in that case? Just so people know what WritersCo will decide falls under that category. I still think multiple options as compared to a drop-down menu is preferred. Especially with genres like "psychological thriller" (see, two for the price of one and you're stuck to one choice)

2005-06-24 [Hedda]: [Veltzeh]: Yes, please!

2005-06-24 [Veltzeh]: I agree with [Shanra] too. Multiple checkboxes might be better than a dropdown... I think we could include some of the warnings there too (like, sex, violence, drugs and so). Okay, another question, can we make a list of those who support them all? I'm too lazy to add my name to all of them ;)

2005-06-24 [-deleted-]: I'll make a new format for it now.

2005-06-24 [-deleted-]: Could anyone who added a particular genres add a description please?

2005-06-24 [Veltzeh]: The possessive form of "it" is "its"...

2005-06-24 [Font]: What are you talking about?
