Fic Talk > General Discussion
Question of the day part 8
Rose:
1. What do you consider to be the biggest challenges in writing your favorite genre?
Probably the descriptions. Action/horror aren't the easiest things to write sometimes in terms of making sure you're making it clear what's happening and keeping like the feel of the story intense and gripping. That sort of thing. You want it to be real, rather than cheesy.
2. Are there any genres you enjoy reading, but have a hard time writing? What are they, and why?
I love suspense/mystery type fics. But they are definitely not an easy thing to write.

Rose, I'm sorry if you thought I was be defensive. I was merely stating my opinion. It was not my intention to start a debate. I was just adding my thoughts to a conversation. I will try harder to not to sound defensive when making a comment in the future as I don't want to offend anyone with my thoughts, opinions, or comments.
Rose:
The reason why you sound defensive is you keep stating that not all romances are the same, not to criticize, and not to lump them together. It comes off defensive because no one's said they're all the same. But of course there's generalization s with every genre of fiction. It is what it is. And I think it should be able to go unsaid that every genre has exceptions/gems.
It's like how people assume I hate all romance which ironically is not the case lol. I just have really high standards for it. I'm all for discussion myself.
colorguard_diva:
Rose, I never said you hate romance or any other genre. I didn't say all romances either. I did mention there are overused story lines in romance and all genres.
What I take offensive to is that you seem to have a problem with any opinion I give. It's been since they very first time I posted an opinion in 2010. No matter what I say you have some negative to say about it. You don't have to like my opinions. I never asked anyone to agree with me. Everyone on here has the right to an opinion, including you and me. Do we have to agree...no. I just feel like you have an issue with me. I don't know what I personally have done to you, but if I did something please let me know.
All I want to do is share my thoughts and opinions like everyone else.
I apologize if I ever have offended anyone on here with my thoughts. If my comments offend, please let me know so I don't hurt anyone with my words. I enjoy coming here, but may not stay as I may offend people for having my own thoughts.
FrickingKaos:
Nobody here is knocking down romance. Everyone likes different things, and everyone has different standards. I am really picky when it comes to reading some genres.
In response to Julie's question...
I love reading sci fi and suspense, but sometimes it is hard for me to write it because it is hard for me to come ip with an idea that'sfresh and interesting. I have written in many different genres so sometimes it is harder to come up with a idea that I can commit to.
