Every tech bro right now: "Step one, add AI. Step three, PROFIT!"

I would like to see the arc of the moral universe bend toward justice just once.

#WritersCoffeeClub Do genre conventions provide an essential framework, or stifle original storytelling?

Neither. Genre is primarily about marketing. That is, it is descriptive, rather than prescriptive. I expect there are people who use genre prescriptively, but I doubt that, even in that case, it serves either function.

Almost everything I write transcends genre boundaries: steampunky fantasy adventure with strong romantic elements, fluffy military space opera, and now cozy, dark fantasy.
