I also like the trend of science-fiction with a paranormal feel, like Virals and I Am Number Four. <br /><br />What I don't like is rushed stories that read like a soap opera.SM Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546994863993080465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-68382874090725279902011-02-05T18:47:17.729-05:002011-02-05T18:47:17.729-05:00I'm interested in reading about different crea...I'm interested in reading about different creatures that I'm not familiar with. However, I'd still read about a vampire/werewolf if the plot was original. :)Pam Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872183610393667619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-22161246003432008892011-02-05T17:04:22.493-05:002011-02-05T17:04:22.493-05:00Like Chanelle said, I'm mainly sick of there b...Like Chanelle said, I'm mainly sick of there being no PLOTS. I like the romance, but if the romance is the main focus of the book and not enough else happens, I get bored very quickly. I still love vampires and werewolves, but would love to see more unique stories centered around them.<br /><br />I do agree writing in such a popular genre will push you to be a better writer! The competition is fierce, after all. :D YOU CAN DO IT!Kelley Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852321111294729924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-7811527814932415612011-02-05T15:26:03.449-05:002011-02-05T15:26:03.449-05:00I guess that's the rub.

If there's a hit in a certain genre then the demand for books published in that genre goes up, but it becomes harder to get published in that genre because of all the other people trying to get published in that genre.<br /><br />- AaronThe Blogger Girlzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16915385689799889397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202274659436317634.post-76717788306319787312011-02-05T15:20:09.673-05:002011-02-05T15:20:09.673-05:00I think it's definitely hard to compete in the...I think it's definitely hard to compete in the paranormal department because all of the known, legendary mythology has been done, so it's a matter of making it uniquely yours. But that's the beauty of fiction, right?

It might as well be a contemp if there's no exploration of the paranormal.Speech Delay Mammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05601787057516846172noreply@blogger.com
