Genre

Genre as a marketing category!
Publishers and editors do not think about genre the same way authors do. Here's an explanation.



... Now I write an ode to spinach:

spinach,
you
are green
and
i wish i had more
of you than
what I ate
(yum yum yum)
at five in the morning,
dawn
creeping
up
you are
(my sunshine and)
the perfect delivery method
for salt and
garlic.

Having spent over an hour composing a message asking about my own romance/comedy-of-manners/fantasy thingy. (Hey the party was looking fun, I wanted to join in!)
Having posted it here.
Having realized that I posted it with out spell-checking it (Oh! The horror!)
Having promptly deleted that message in chagrin, there not apparently being any way to edit it.
Having then remembered that alg would probably get an email notice containing said message anyway, that she might even try to reply, that she might then be frustrated and annoyed by the fact that the orginal no longer exists...

Um, oops...

Sorry!
I guess I'm more used to using web-boards than I am to lj comment threading.

Um, I don't often care that much about stuff like spellcheck in livejournal comments. People post in the heat of the moment! There is a flurry! Typos happen!

I did get an email notification, but I don't remember what your original post was. Something about regencys and how to pitch your particular fantasy of manners set in a made up world? If you want to bounce that off the people here, you should post again.
