shorthand. If we do not change it, then we should consider including ALL writing genres, e.g. thank-you note, grocery list, celebrity apology, press release, the list goes on. These are writing genres, but not literary. Obviously, the list would get out of hand if we listed ALL writing genres, hence the change. --

Full disclosure: I am the author of The Puzzle as a
Literary Genre (niquette.com/books/sophmag/puz-lit.htm), which has received many thousands of visitors over the past three years. No surprise. A simple Internet search on "puzzle" turns up hundreds of millions of 'hits'. Nevertheless, the Talk Page

It's all messed up. Sub genres fall generally into three parts of setting. Those are: time, place, and theme (as in general feeling of the setting). Thus Urban should not be set under contemporary. The rest of it is crossover, which is a whole 'nother way of doing it. The better way to separate the

I want to suggest moving this page to a new one titled "list of literary writing genres" or "of literary genres" since it more accurately describes what this page lists. The beginning of the entry, itself, acknowledges that this is a page that lists literary genres and "writing genres" seems like a

Paranormal can be set in Urban, but as in the case of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, it has happened also in Suburban and Country (as in Bram Stoker's Dracula) Paranormal is a theme. It's not a place. It does not generally dictate a place. It's just happens that it's more convenient that it is set in a

For example: Urban
Fantasy *tends* to happen in Modern Fantasy, Contemporary Fantasy and *sometimes* Futuristic fantasy. (Those are time periods. Historical Urban fantasy is rare, but possible. (I dare you to say it's not. I can so do it. Take Ancient Rome, put in magic, focus on Rome, done.

I did a major fixes in the

Unless we are going to have a 'genre' for every country of the world, it seems bizarre to have 'British literature', especially since the whole history of literature in
English up to the 17th century is British, and lots of non-English language literature is also British.

it appears from what is listed that an address book, a flyer advertising a lost pet, a child's refrigerator art, and a weather map amended with a
Sharpie would all qualify as some kind of "writing" genre, thus making this article entirely useless. According to the linked

The nonfiction categories in "Genres and
Subgenres" are dominated by "religious texts." There are 130 "religious text" topics compared to 22 others. Or, rephrasing, 85% of nonfiction genres are religious. This has the appearance of bias.

If you want to place a "science picture book" somewhere in these categories you can't. So what about inserting a category named "information literacy" under nonfiction genres?

I propose deleting this genre, unless someone can actually find a bookseller's or literary critic's reference to it as a genre, rather than merely a geographical description.
