sinfulslasher asked, 'What's your favourite genre to read and write'?



In terms of reading, I love fantasy, science fiction and horror; favourite authors include Terry Pratchett, Stephen King and Douglas Adams.

I loved Lord of the Rings, not so much The Hobbit, and HG Wells' War of the Worlds was the first Science Fiction book I ever read, and remains one of my favourite stories to this day.

I don't limit my reading to those genres though, Watership Down has always been and will always be one of my favourite books, and I'm an avid reader of Ben Elton and Bill Bryson too.

In terms of writing, I tend to stick to gen, and I only write for the Supernatural fandom.   I love to write case fics, hurt comfort and crack.  I have a huge penchant for humour, and a touch of the absurd, in fact, I would find it very difficult verging on impossible to write a completely dark and serious fic.

Thank you for answering!

I love the fact that so many people on my flist are also huge fans of Pratchett and Adams. ♥ And yay for Ben Elton and Bill Bryson!

Your "huge penchant for humor" in the SPN fandom is very much appreciated from yours truly, let me tell you. :D

Thank you!
I can say without any shame or embarrassment that I cried when Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett died, and I don't care who knows that. They were both worthy of tears.

I'm so glad you enjoy my funny stories :D

One of my favourite quotes, because it's all about balance, and writing what you love.

I love Lord of the Rings, too.

It's great that you enjoy writing humor. :)

I really do love writing humour; the character of Dean, especially, lends himself to humour so well!
