Quiz Time. What sort of fiction should I write?

[icarus]

GOTHICS! - Deep, dark, mysterious and melodramatic.
You are drawn to write tales of the shadows and
what might lurk there. Could it be Love? Or
Madness? Anne Rice and Brahm Stoker are your
guides.

Happy birthday, Ic!

Happy belated Birthday!

(Huh. That thing gave me the same result... though probably not for the same reasons!)

And I'm glad to see someone else wishing you a happy Belated Birthday... because I will too!
Hope you had a great day. :-)

By my estimation, considering how my birthday (well, technically my brother's birthday) is the kick-off to the holiday season, no one's late until New Year's. ;)

I think that the quiz is... really off. *cringe*

really off

Heh. Yeah. I didn't want to say it, but since stereotyped genres were the only choices available, I can see how someone with an interest in emotional realism -- and both the positive and negative in human nature -- would end up in that category.
(I resented being stereotyped a little bit myself, since I think of my stuff more as magic-realist. Which I notice was not one of the choices. Hmmm...)
(Thank God for genre-busting books is all I can say. Make my world go 'round!)

Uh, gee. Guess I missed your birthday, too. Hope it was happy.

Never thought of you writing gothics...*g*

*stares at quiz in a puzzled manner*

You answer all the questions about shadows, and someone calls it "gothic" instead of an exploration of moral grey areas.

Nope. Didn't miss my birthday. See, in my house the holidays last all the way through new years.

My brother's birthday kicks it off on the 15th. Then three days later my birthday follows his.

Then a week later -- the family Thanksgiving feast (where the relatives who didn't get to see us wish us a happy birthday and the occasional card/gift appears just to make it extra-festive).

Then it's only four weeks of build-up till Christmas, with Xmas music, shopping, candy, baking, Christmas movies, relatives, the people who combine our Xmas/Birthday presents (a small group, but it does work to extend our birthdays for another month). Then a holiday after that (usually spent skiing with Dad when we were kids), annnnnnnd... New Year's!

No possible way to miss my birthday. It's a huge target lasting roughly six weeks.

Gothics now... Well Happy B-Day anyway, though I am late. It still counts if it was near a weekend. Hope you're having a blast. Wait, does Beg Me count? It was pretty dark... Ah well have a good one!!

Thank you. Those of us with birthdays near Thanksgiving know that the birthday lasts till at least the next family gathering. ;)

I think the test is way off: all I did was answer one question that my heroine would be curious and poke at dark shadows....
