Most preferred Genre on Tapas POLL

Gaming is not a genre at least for the novels.Plus, Royal Road is probably the leading site for it.

Oh, I meant the 69 number with that picture
It's mere coincidence that Gaming is in the picture

Though I search for comics with LGBT+ the most, I put down Fantasy, because that's most of my subs. Preferably, a comic with both, however.

My favourite is comedy, but fantasy comes as a solid second place

Gaming is a Genre mostly for fan-fiction novels and comics.
Over at fanfiction.net way back in the dark ages of online publishing I had some fanfics up for 'Unreal Tournament,, Tekken, NFS, Street Fighter and Quake', the games I was into in the early 2000s.

Yeah, I did Baldur’s Gate back then and a bit of Kotor/SWTOR

For novels, I like to read a lot in the genre I write in. It helps know what the reader expectations are so I picked BL. As long as there's some romance then I'm usually game to read it. I generally avoid Horror.

For comics, honestly as long as the art is pretty then I'll read it. I like slice of life, bl, romance, lgbt+... again I generally avoid horror though lol

Really not surprised "Fantasy" would rule the roost.

Can you take a screenshot again? I wasn't ready and you caught me blinking

CarltonIsaac 2020-09-23 17:27:09 UTC #31

Take off those blinkers the next time.

Comedy
I also do like action, slice of life, fantasy and what not

nathanKmcwilliams 2020-09-23 18:12:30 UTC #33

Action.

Edit: I remember when Unreal Tournament came out. One of my friends was an absolute boss at it.

Damn, those are some poll results. o_o''

I chose "Drama" because that is the main ingredient that binds all story-telling, even in Fantasy / BL / Action / Horror / Romance / Others.

Relationships dynamics (or Drama) leads to confrontation (or Action) to tell a winding tale (or Fantasy / Horror / Romance) where you have a protagonist, antagonist and supporting characters.

"Drama" is the spice that binds the various flavors of story-telling. Without the spicy, the meal would be basic and boring.

Basic and boring Action.

Basic and boring Romance.

Basic and boring Fantasy.

Who ever said they loved consuming "basic and boring" everyday? Food for thought .....

P.S. Comedy is the most difficult expression of the performing arts. Timing is key. If one masters comedy, one will nail ambitious dramas and mysteries time after time.

The Few and the Brave tread the path least taken (currently Comedy | Drama | Mystery | SciFi). That involves the "heavy-lifting" where not everyone can do it.

If this was easy-peasy, everyone and their grandmother would do it.

Strangely, I have almost five times (???) more subscribers for Vampires than I have for Fantasy.

Haha remember the people on the forums make up a very small section of all the people who use the Tapas site!
