If we had a face off in L&L, what Genre would you want to do first?

VanHellsin24 -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 17:49:40)
Medieval Fantasy FTE

Mortarion -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 17:50:13)
utters something in phyrexian, then clears throat If I am allowed to post here, I think science fiction woud be good, since there are few of those here, and it would be intresting to see what us, writters who focus so much on medieval fantasy, can accomplish on such an alien genre as science fiction

Glais -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 17:53:24)
I echo Mort's sentiments. Since most write medieval, it would be an interesting change. That said, i voted for Mystery, because they seem like a challenge somewhat to write, can fit any genre, and are generally fun to read. Not saying I could effectively write one but whatever...

Dwelling Dragonlord -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 17:59:23)
Fairytale, as in the brothers Grimm or Disney?

Eukara Vox -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 18:01:12)
Fairytale as in... the literary definition of a fairytale, which I can post if people need it. I've taught a course on the genre.

Mortarion -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 18:04:52)
So Eukara, your vote whent for? Or said it this way if you prefer, what genre would you like to writte about?

VanHellsin24 -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 18:05:09)
Brothers Grimm would be a sadistic twist...love it

Helixi -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 18:43:36)
I personally voted for Modern Fantasy.

Eukara Vox -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 19:36:59)
I am not sure I will vote, unless there is a tie. So, no telling you what I prefer. Wouldn't want to sway the votes.

.Discipline -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 19:42:31)
I voted for fairytales. I would really want to see a fairytale contest going on. It's easy to write one, but hard to write one well, it's well known and universally loved, plus it draws a crowd. Go fairytales!

Mordred -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 19:43:47)
I'm going with medieval fantasy. I just love it so. Sci fi is a close second, though.

Mortarion -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 19:44:14)
no no no no no, science fiction is what is on, Go Phyrexians

Glais -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 19:47:22)
What is a "Phyrexian?" Anyhow, I don't quite understand the Fairy Tale concept...

Shadow Ravena -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 21:28:25)
I would have to go with Modern Fantasy. Much as I like Medieval and sy-fi, I feel this gene is somewhat ignored because no one likes it- as the charm of olden days is no longer a crutch- and it would be interesting to see the results.

Eukara Vox -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 21:44:09)
Fairytales are stories that are told in the real world, with real world-ish situations, but include otherworldly details and characters. I fairytale MUST have certain things in it for it to be a fairytale. They include: Royalty as a prominent feature Otherworldly characters Magic Defined good guy and bad guy The happily ever after concept Even if it is subtle, commentary on social norms Animals that can interact with people, but not anthropomorphosised. The setting, though is real world-ish, still has an aspect of the "In a land far far away" There is always a quest or set of quests to be completed by the main character. Another thing that defines a fairytale from legends, folklore, etc, is the appearance of sets of three. Fairytales must have these. Three quests, three sisters, three brothers, three kingdoms... This is a fairytale. It matters not if it is Disneyfied or Grimm. Cultures have had fairytales long before Italy and Europe "published" them. As a matter of fact, Yeh-Shen was Cinderella, long before Cinderella existed.

Clyde -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 21:50:40)
Modern Fantasy sounds like fun. Already have an idea in mind.

Glais -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 21:58:38)
Modern Fantasy...could I have a specific example? I'm not sure what's in my mind is accurate. The genre sounds fun though.

Eukara Vox -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 22:03:44)
Modern Fantasy is realistic fiction (real world stories, real world issues, made up characters) with a fantasy twist. Vampires and werewolves battling it out in Orlando, Florida in the night. The Television show Grimm. And, though I HATE to mention the series, Twilight. Psionic gifted people in the middle of Manhatten.

Glais -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 22:16:13)
Oh I see. Hm, not my preferred genre, unless it takes a more paranormal, X-Files, SCP style edge to it.

Mortarion -> RE: If we had... (5/16/2012 22:22:57)
Hmm I don't know, I went with sci fi because I want to experiment, each thing is good tbh

Cataclysm -> RE: If we had... (5/19/2012 15:22:45)
I voted for documentary since I think it would be an extremely interesting concept, trying to WRITE a documentary? I mean really, I didn't even think that was a THING until this. So I had to vote for it, just to see what would happen.

Eukara Vox -> RE: If we had... (5/25/2012 9:24:04)
So far we have 1. Medieval Fantasy 2. Modern Fantasy 3. Science Fiction I am thinking of closing this poll this weekend and then talk this over with my staff and set up some ground rules to the "face-off". So if you haven't voted yet, please do. For those of you wondering what my vote would be... it would have been none of the three above. [8D]

Arthur -> RE: If we had... (5/25/2012 9:41:15)
My vote goes to sci-fi seeing as it can accomodate most plotholds. Also, there seems to be less of this genre in the world. So, it would be interesting to see what the writers here can concoct up with so less examples around them. So yeah, sci-fi.

zippy2010 -> RE: If we had... (5/27/2012 13:33:22)
I voted fairy tail :) Less violent in terms of human life[X(]
