In terms of writing, not reading (although feel free to comment on reading too), what fiction genres to you tend to stay as far away from as humanly possible.
It's not to say you don't like those genres, you just don't feel comfortable writing them. I was going to make a poll, but I didn't think that would be a fair indicator. (And people may have more than one they avoid).
For me, it's Romance. I have the romantic-emotional range of a teaspoon, and can't write a story revolving around love to save my life. Parts of my novels dealing with love are the hardest to get through, and require the most editing and beta reading because I suck at them. Science Fiction is another one. Every time I put pen to paper (or finger to keyboard) everything I end up writing is so cliche' I can't continue. Oh well.
What about you?
