What is your favourite genre and why?

[Puck]

Classic european style comics, I like adventure stories.
I recently discovered the slice of life genre, that´s also something I really like.
Erotic comics but it´s really hard to find good ones.
I also like the classic 1-4 panel cartoons.

Everything that doesn´t contain excessive violence is a possible genre for me

Urban fantasy... fantasy taking place in the future/past isn't really my thing so why not? XD I like a modern setting (and magic)

[DualDragons]

Action is my bread and butter, I especially like action when it isn't like "oh, Zero/Kyo/whatever rose up to power level XXX! Now he is stronger because he trained offscreen!"

I like action when the established powers or combat is used creatively, in ways you don't expect. I think I remember a scene in Dragonball Super (obviously that isn't a webcomic but just a example) where Goku railgrinds on a ki blast with his kamehameha to dodge the hit. Now that is epic, I love those scenes

Horror, hands down. For both novels and comics btw, though I may have a giddy weakness for novels as I am especially impressed if you can spook the daylights out of me with your book.

And I will add fantasy here too, but I am very picky about my fantasy. I'm done seeing the same races all over, do something better. If I see one more elf I swear to god...

I like action, I like it when people confront others.

[Azifri]

Adventure, especially when the story has interesting characters that evolve over time, cool places, and/or science fiction.

Thrash Metal.

[AmazementComics]

Action is all our comics is about. Any type of action via good vs evil, or just a good round of cartoon violence across the board is what we do best at Amazement Comics. It even says in our profile summary, we're so full of entertainment so action packed, it's going to leave a mark. Also, our world of action/adventure stories is massive, meaning lots of characters telling lots of different stories all in an effort not to bore our audience.

Neo-Scandinavian scented candle punk.

@skicoak
Ooh yeah, NSSCP! My favorite band from that genre is Smorgasbörd Wax Frenzy.

What are your thoughts on Melodic Post-Polka Theramin Fusion?

[R.n.P]

Action
The reason is simple, fighting is one of the most primal things human beings do and everyone gravitates to it because its instinctual, we all fight something at the end of the day.

@nathanKmcwilliams
Unfortunately I am allergic to theramin so I broke out in a huge rash and had respiratory issues at a double billing of Mu Tau Pancakes and Anteojo the Chupacabra Slayer. I was injected a dozen times backstage before someone finally used an EpiPen.

Comedy because I could always use more humor in life

[allenT]

As a reader I like thriller the most. A good one gets me hooked to the story.
As a writer it's fantasy because it you can do whatever you like in worldbuilding.

Hi. I prefer sci/fi and fantasy. Reality can get really boring sometimes. In this genre of movies, I gravitate toward good CG. In fact, I could get by on just the special effects. However, some stories, like Slaughterhouse Five, are both eye-opening and thought-provoking.

[jensrichard77]

I like fantasy. I write fantasy.
Why?
Because this is where I live?

[jensrichard77]

Smorgasbörd Wax Frenzy.

Smørbrød! Are we talking about Smørebrød.
Hmmmm nom nom nom

Smorgasbrörd = A table of Smørebrød

[cookieroach]

Have some smörgåstårta as well:

[Kann]

Fantasy, especially the one taking place in modern world. From w reader's point of view I just think it's neat. From author's point of view you can take some artistic liberties and explain them with magic. xD

[vothnthorvaldson]

I tend to prefer stories that don't fit easily in a genre. I dislike a huge proportion of genre-specific tropes, and stories that don't fit into genre, by default, are less prone to these. Or if they use them, it may be in a context different enough to make them interesting again.
Plus, I simply like not knowing what I'm going into.
Writing that is appealing (and art in case there is any) is what make makes me read a story; I'm ready for anything genre wise.
