Heh, reading this thread I just kind of realised I don't have an actual genre I'm writing in, so to speak. It's a bit postmodern, a bit noir (ish?), a bit nihilistic (only a little bit I promise, mainly by accident)... very all-over-the-place at the moment. Meh, I supposed it saved me from having to research a certain genre.

I've only just heard of gonzo journalism. Sounds interesting, I'd love to read your work.

Mine's all cool... and postmodernist... Actually, there's not really a genre... it's kind of... I don't know. Effing stupid, that's what. D:

I wish I'd had the balls to pull off a proper transgressive fiction-type-thing with my work, it is influenced by it a bit but I'd have given my English teacher a heart attack :D

I haven't the guts to contemplate post-modernism on any level, let alone utilise it. Mine's an autobiographical work, plot emphasised through use of roman a clef. So ... autobiographical, anyone?

90% of the stories I've read from my classmate and friends outside of school who do EE2, are fantasy. Quelle surprise?
