I'm a little behind on my story. Part of it comes from preparing for job interviews. Another part comes from just not being in the mood to write. (Which I guess is something NaNo is supposed to fight, but whatev.)
But one thing I had to consider when cataloguing the story was what its genre was. And its hard for me to pin it down to one thing. Here's why.
- It has definite science fiction elements to it, primarily involving the protagonist and his team. There's also a lot of scientific explanations thrown around to cover various things.
- But at the same time, the antagonist and his minions have a fantasy feel to them. (And science fiction and fantasy are very distinct genres.)
- There's also a fairly in depth mystery going on here. But not a mystery in the sense of "somebody died, find the killer" but "okay, just what is the antagonist up to?"
- And there's lots of martial arts action scenes.
So really, what would I categorize it as? It contains a fair amount of many types of genres. I'm labeling it as "adventure" because I think it has the feel of an action-adventure movie / story most of all. But it is kind of hard to pin down. It's a story world that I created on my own, so just exactly what genre should it fit into?
But anyway, more writing to be done. Yay.
