What Subgenre?

I write paranormal and some futuristic/sci-fi. Mostly paranormal, though. I tried writing a contemporary, but then my male MC changed into a panther and I was like WTH??? So yeah, mostly paranormal.

Everything. Seriously. If a plot strikes and the muse is insistent I write it. The way I figure it is that I'm in the author business for the long haul. As long as I let me muse play however she wants, I'll never be bored with what I do. While writing in one genre is great for some people, the thought of only writing paranormal romance or BDSM romance for the next twenty years is depressing. On the flip side, some say that not sticking to one type hurts your readership. I have no idea about that.

I consider myself a contemporary/erotic rom writer, but I've also done paranormal, historical, UF and some sci-fi.

contemporary

Contemporary, paranormal, and scifi.
Most of my titles are paranormal, but ive been writing more and more contemporary lately.

Mainly fantasy in non-Earth settings, though I occasionally venture into sci-fi or superhero. Pregnancy is one of my major themes, and incest between consenting adults is another. Specifically erotic romance, either m/m or m/m/f or mherm/mherm or m/mherm.

Historical Romance here. At least so far.

Historical, mostly. Just got the edits back on the 14th C. Cornwall piece, and am working on a first draft of the 15th C. England piece that will follow it. My contemporary's on hold for going direct-to-reader until I get my contracted work done.

Suspense and paranormal.

Contemporary multicultural erotic romance writer here. Although, I do plan to expand into paranormal at some point.

Fantasy, Sci-fi & Paranormal erotic romance floats my boat for now...though I'll probably write whatever my characters demand

Mostly contemporary, mostly m/m, but I've done m/f, and I've done suspense, paranormal and sci-fi. I see myself doing more in the paranormal/sci-fi direction in the future - there's just so much more potential to REALLY mess with the characters without making them seem like permanent victims!

m/m - contemporary, historical and one sci-fi.

Strictly historical. 19th century.

I dabble in a few genres. Current projects include the sequels in my Time Travel romance series and a fantasy romance stand-alone.
I also write contemporary romance.
Love historical romances, and I suppose the Time Travel romance is historical as well.

Right now, it is contemporary m/m erotic romance. But I have done (and will plan on more in the future), sci-fi and fantasy. I don't see sticking to one genre (or subgenre). Too much fun to be had!

Paranormal historical, mostly. I'd like to try historical suspense after I finish up the current batch of projects, maybe a bit of time-travel.

I love hearing that some of you are writing "time travel" romances. Can't WAIT to read some of those!

Let's see...
I mainly write paranormal of some sort m/f. I do have some contemp m/f too under another pen name. I will do basically anything except fantasy and historical.

LOL, Beachgirl I could see it being just a bit disconcerting to have the boy next door turn into a panther

That's interesting, Ann. I don't think I've met anyone else who writes regularly in more than two or three subgenres.

I also write short lit fic and mainstream, but I've never so much as had a werewolf twitch a whisker when writing romance.

I know of loads of people who write in several romance sub-genres.
Most everything I've had published has been paranormal/fairy tale erotic romance although I have a novella that is paranormal historical erotic romance and one 4000 word short story that is pure historical erotica.
Wicked Wonderland is paranormal set in present day and is an erotic menage romance.

Contemporary, but I have a couple of paranormal ideas I've thought about trying out eventually.
