Cheers Mouse, this is going to take some thinking about.
Nice to see something a bit different

 

[Luiglin]

Owls are already weird enough.

 

[Elckerlyc]

I can do weird. Everyone keeps telling me.

 

[Phyrebrat]

You just need to write your autobiography.

75 words to narrate all my achievements? I think you underestimate my fabulosity!

After a brief look, I see that we've already had, as genres, New Weird (once: August 2016) and Weird Westerns (twice: in January 2016, January 2012).

As a genre, Weird Fiction, being less specific, seems less weird than those.

Fixed it for you there, Phyre. XD


Weird fiction...well, perhaps it's time to try to channel one of my favorite authors then...if I'll be able to come up with something this month at all.

 

[Phyrebrat]

Well you're all dead to me. (except Karn, who obvs knows of my achievements as he voted for me in the 300 so yeah, how dja feel now? Busted!)

@Ursa major
Look again! - it's weird fantasy, not fiction, that's what it says at the top of this page.
That narrows it down a lot

 

[Mouse]

It should be fiction.

 

[nixie]

It should be fiction.

Sorry @Mouse, now corrected.

It's "Weird Fiction" in the Challenge Thread, the thread where you're meant -- where you're told -- to read the first post.


Reading the first post in this thread? What were people thinking...?

 

[Phyrebrat]
