Which Genre do you specialize in?

[kazukitakamura126]

A mystery if done correctly can engage the reader into believe it is they who solved the case, I don't know of any examples off hand. Romance is very tricky because you can force it and at the same time you have to make the signs somewhat noticeable.

I guess you can add adventure to the list of genres I've worked on, since it's a major part of one of the action stories I was writing. Comedy too, because nothing I write is all serious.

I'm good with comedy/gag-based parody comics I guess?

[vocaloidno1fan]

im best with 4 genres which r comedy, horror, fantasy, and romance
the one I struggle with most is action

[Kura]

More so I don't actually think of a genre during the writing and drawing process, I just focus more on telling the story then labeling it I guess. It's more so during the uploading phase where I go "uhh... what the hell is this anyway...?"

[tableflipstudios]

To be honest, L and I actually are best at horror/macabre genres.
But my Dad is a Trekkie, western and action fan, which led me to write and create :EPOCH Files with L, who is interested in those genres as well.
Slice of Life/Comedy comes naturally when you work as a librarian - I really think so. xD

[scottwuming]

Mine would obviously be BL / Yaoi, and I love to go from comedy then drama. (I noticed that a lot of good comedy mangaka's can make the most heartwrenching dramas. I aim to be the same. ><)

I'd like to try my hands on some universally G (general patronage) stuff, so I can show it to my family and make them proud LOL), but no inch of idea comes to mind. OTL

My next forte, which I have not shown much yet, is guro/horror and that's not something I can share with my family either.

OTL

I just like history, so it's fun to interpret it in your own way. For me, I still do create a fantasy world, but keeping the core bits that hold true to a certain time period. I'm not that strict in forcing my story to keep to within the boundaries of being "historically accurate" xD

I agree with romance, it's a strong driving factor in most stories(it certainly is in mine). I'm not so great at writing romance either but I love ships and I can ship anything and everything, which means I enjoy writing it too

[kazukitakamura126]

We are almost two peas in a pod, except for the comedy part. What write is mainly serious wiht comedy sprinkled here and there.

[kazukitakamura126]

Out of the four you are good at I am only good at fantasy because I like making a world with its own laws. Action is one of specialties so I have confidence that my fights will be good to a degree.

[kazukitakamura126]

Oh, that's what you mean, I haven't really thought about genres until I joined Tapastic.

[kazukitakamura126]

Using real life experience to enhance your comic makes life a little easier for you. I haven't delved into horror becuase I don't know how to creep people out. One question though what is "macabre"?

[kazukitakamura126]

I think its okay to write BL / Yaoi as long as the romance between the characters and the plot has some substance I think they wouldn't mind unless they are homophobic. You could also write something that is generally accepted by most readers art is the field where you must adapt after all.

[kazukitakamura126]

I do the same with my romance as well where I like to ship certain characters and convince the reader to ship them too.

[scottwuming]

Yes, I am aware. I myself dislike most PWP as I always look for substance and depth, which are what I also apply in my works and I'm happy that my readers notice too. My family is homophobic, unfortunately. Yep, I am trying to find a concept that would appeal to most readers, just as I mentioned earlier, but I suck at that. ^^; It's like I'm a natural when it comes to things related to BL, gay romance and horror.

[whydocowsfall]

I'm definitely very happily situated in fantasy. I kind of want to write about Sparta some day, but so little is known about it (and what is known about it is so darn cool) I feel like it also fits more into the world of fantasy and mythology than "historical fiction"... I don't really know how to write a good story about real life. d: I haven't had much experience with romance yet but I think that would be the next one I'd be okay at. I really like romance and I'm going to try writing some soon (sort of), so I'd better be good at it... :')

I'm worst at horror because I hate scary things so so much! I'm probably not that great at comedy either. I can sort of do okay putting in tiny elements of mild humour? But I'd never be able to write a gag comic or a comedy or whatever. It only works for me if I don't try too hard. XD

[rc360]

What write is mainly serious wiht comedy sprinkled here and there.

That perfectly described the comic I wrote. It wasn't exactly what I was going for, but it still turned out to be good so far. I like what @kurapikasuki says here:

More so I don't actually think of a genre during the writing and drawing process, I just focus more on telling the story then labeling it

Even though I set off to write a certain genre, I just want the story to be entertaining for me and others.

[KathleenKelley]

A blend of science fiction, fantasy, romance, and adventure is my favorite thing in the world, and is the genre of The Parallax Cycle. I've also written horror and supernatural, but those stay in short story format. I'm hoping to convert them to comics one day.

I struggle with comedy and slice of life. I can't even begin to understand how people come up with a good joke!

Action Adventure and fantasy

Hi there!
Macabre emphasizes on details and symbols of death. Think Edgar Allan Poe?
