Writing Genres

We all know there are different genres in writing. Even people that don't write know that! You walk into a store or library and ask for a book, half of the time their going to ask you for it's genre.

Now my question, for anyone that happens upon my blog, is the following:

What is your favorite genre in Reading?

Here's my answer, in order my favored genres are:

1. Fantasy
2. Young Adult
3. Mythology
4. Science Fiction
5. Historical Fiction

Now please feel free to comment your answer to me! I'd love to know what your favorite Reading genre is!

Now i have another question along the same lines.

What is your Writing genre?

Again mine are listed below in order from greatest to least.

1. Fantasy
2. Young Adult
3. Science Fiction
4. Romance
5. Historical Fiction

Please do tell me what your favored Writing genre is!

Isn't it strange how my reading and writing genre's differ a bit? Are yours the same way? I think it is highly interesting. I also find sub-genre's interesting.

For example, my novel, Black Rose Chronicles, is, mainly, a fantasy novel, but it's sub-genres are:

Gothic

Dark

Mystery

Extra.

Do you know about sub-genre's? There are so many out there that i do doubt i could list them all!

If you know about them and your writing a novel, why not tell me what your sub-genre is? I'd be very thankful to know!

I am always interested in knowing what my fellow writers are doing. I want to become a part of the society, the family, of the publishing world.

We may be able to do it alone, but together it's all the better!
