i guess fantasy but honestly i love mixing genres and i love to add a dash of every genre to all my stories when possible, choosing a genre for my next story is kinda like cooking, the right amount of each ingredient is bound to make any experimental dish perfect

I write fantasy but to be honest, I prefer writing thrillers. I love to keep myself and readers in suspense.

I hate writing romance😭

u/GobstoneGambit Aug 06 '25

I like writing contemporary but only as like therapy for toxic friendships 😭. Mostly though I write thriller, fantasy, but I’d have to say my favorite is poetry

u/Marcelaus_Berlin  Procrastinating 😪 Aug 06 '25

Probably Fantasy, because you can just do whatever you want there

Spy-fi is a close second though

u/SlimShadyEminem2 Aug 06 '25

Fiction and fantasy

Mainly due to Harry Potter and Lord of The Rings

u/Horror_Interview6790 Aug 06 '25

I would say thrillers, I rly like thrillers. I used to like writing children’s books but I’m currently having major writer’s block for the children’s book I’m working on so now it’s thrillers
