    Thriller/Suspense Genre In Depth

    By Myr,


    Genre Deep Dives
    Sub-genres of Thriller/suspense are similar to action/adventure in that they tend to focus on events and moving things along.  But where Action/adventure is focused more on fun/mystery, Thriller/Suspense is focused more on fear/horror. There tends to be a mystery element as well. Tends to have deeper engagement with the character to make you care if they survive. The Thriller sub-genres tend to be edge of your seat and villan driven. Suspense is more towards the mystery end of the spectrum.   Sub-genres: Environmental Thriller, Espionage, Historical Thriller, Legal Thriller, Medical Thriller, Military Thriller, Political Thriller, Psychological Thriller, Supernatural Thriller, Suspense, Techno Thriller   Top 10 Most Read - Suspense

    General Fiction Genre In Depth

    By Myr,


    Genre Deep Dives
    General fiction are fiction stories that don't clearly fall into other more strongly defined genre fiction. This category also features two common Gay Story mainstays, "Coming of Age" and "Rich Boy".  With Rich Boy being extremely common escapism fiction from the dawn of the internet where the usually teenage character had enough wealth not to deal with the downsides of being Gay.  (Far more extreme in the 1980s and 1990s)
    Sub-genres: Coming of Age, Drama, Experimental, Prompt, Rich Boy
