Oo have I found more questions? Me answer too!! 😊🙃🤪
Horror – Never, EVER, EVER ok. Should be banned like Andrew said.
Drama – I love drama. It’s great.
Historical Fiction – I don’t like historical fiction, tbh. It has to be done REALLY well. So maybe (emphasis on maybe) 50/50.
Folklore – I love folklore!
Humor – Absolutely!
Tall Tale – I’ve never even heard of this before… idk. 😅
Realistic Fiction – Good. I like realistic fiction too.
You didn’t have thriller on this list, but I like thriller too. Just not horror thriller. My brother and I will write short stories sometimes, and thriller is often the theme we pick because suspense is so much fun! lol 😅
INTP.
Have a carrot.October 16, 2024 at 9:25 am #187696why?
Because it seems to me like a bug waste of my time. Why do I want to be scared, being scared stinks, and nightmares are not fun. I already don’t get enough sleep I don’t need something to help me not to sleep.
Sorry about that, I was ranting…
Why do I change my signature so much? DJT!!!

October 16, 2024 at 9:29 am #187698Horror- Most horror is pretty pointless, but when it’s good, it’s good. (Yes this is a hot take, and I can explain myself if asked 😂) I like stories that have elements of horror if it makes the story more raw and compelling.
Drama- No opinion.
Historical Fiction- It depends on what the author puts into the story besides just the historical facts. It has to have some soul or has to be about a niche topic, or I just get bored. But also I don’t like when a story uses a particular historical setting and rarely describes it.
Folklore- Ooh, okay, so this one’s a weird genre for me. I love really weird folksy-inspired fantasy, with cryptids and stuff like that. It has to be interesting folklore, not Red Riding Hood for the millionth time.
Humor- My jam. This is my jam.
Tall tale- No opinion.
Realistic fiction- It’s very vanilla but I’ve read good books before.

Um…. maybe I need to be a better Christian… I’m literally reading and writing a horror novel…. 😅😓
Drama – I love drama. It’s great.
Oh… cool…
Historical Fiction – I don’t like historical fiction, tbh. It has to be done REALLY well. So maybe(emphasis on maybe) 50/50.
Yeah thats true, I do prefer it over drama, but it can be 50/50!
Folklore – I love folklore!
Same! Love folklore! (it can be creepy though!)
Humor – Absolutely!
Eh, its okay.
Tall Tale – I’ve never even heard of this before… idk. 😅
I just looked int up, it’s a type of humor folklore! sound good!
Realistic Fiction – Good. I like realistic fiction too.
Yeah, its good.

I get what you mean about the good thing! A lot of it can be really bad/dumb/demonic! thats why I monitor it!

Makes sense! I agree with this!
Folklore- Ooh, okay, so this one’s a weird genre for me. I love really weird folksy-inspired fantasy, with cryptids and stuff like that. It has to be interesting folklore, not Red Riding Hood for the millionth time.
See about this, it’s like a love all folklore but if it’s the watered down little baby version…. it’s kinda bad… but if it’s the raw original one it’s usually really good!
Humor- My jam. This is my jam.
😅😅😐
Realistic fiction- It’s very vanilla but I’ve read good books before.
Yeah I guess.
Thanks everyone for the answers!!!

October 16, 2024 at 1:07 pm #187712Horror- I never read it. I don’t think that it’s morally wrong to like the genre though.
Drama- I’m not entirely sure what you mean by drama. I like Shakespeare. Does that count?
Historical Fiction- This is one of my favorite genres to read. I don’t write it though because I don’t want to do all that research.
Folklore- I love folklore, especially old myths and fairytales from different countries.
Humor- I agree with Andrew on this one.😂 Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States is one of my favorites.
Tall Tale- I find them amusing, if rather ridiculous.
Realistic Fiction- There are some books in this genre that I love, like the Penderwicks and the Vanderbeekers, and I kind of enjoy other middle grade realistic fiction. I hate YA though, because it’s nearly always stupid and shallow. I love the idea here, and would like this genre if people wrote better books in it.

Yeah, I love movies and books like Coraline, it’s amazing and if someone dislikes horror I usually point them to that. It has such a valid reason to be a horror story.
😅😅😐
Explain yourself, or we will defenestrate you. 🥸

Thanks!
Drama- I’m not entirely sure what you mean by drama. I like Shakespeare. Does that count?
Yeah, Shakespeare is an example. His stories are the only drama I like!
Historical Fiction- This is one of my favorite genres to read. I don’t write it though because I don’t want to do all that research.
I understand that, I love historical fiction, like The Magic Treehouse
Tall Tale- I find them amusing, if rather ridiculous.
Thats one way to put it!

Hm, interesting…
Thanks for answering my Q and A

#AnduthForever (Lord Willing)October 17, 2024 at 12:13 pm #187768October 22, 2024 at 8:14 pm #188117Horror –
I like Edgar Allan Poe and FrankensteinHorror can be good, it just has to have some redeem ability to it and can’t be too scary. Like Frankenstein has a great message and theme, but others a majority of the time are pretty gory or scary for the sake of being scary and in no way helpful. That’s my view at least.Drama – Eh, stage drama is fine.
Historical Fiction – Its good, some are great others are ok.
Folklore – Great genre.
Humor – It’s fine.
Tall Tale – They’re okay, some are fun, others aren’t as charming or fun to me as folk tales.
Realistic Fiction – good, a lot of wholesome stories from here like The Penderwicks.
