September 7th – What genre would be the worst one for you to tackle and why?
Jayden: Historical fiction. I don’t have a great grasp on history, so I’d have to do *a lot* of research, which I don’t particularly care for. I love to read it, but writing it would be awful.
Richard: Does Fanfic count? I’ve tried it a couple times, and I just can’t wrap my head around writing other people’s characters.
Both good responses! I would play up the fiction aspect of the historical fiction – the argument of yes well I fudged that bit ;). Fan-fiction – yeah I’ve never understood why it’s considered as a legit (waiting for mob to yell at me) category!

I definitely understand about fanfic. Trying to get into the mind of a character someone else created feels a little bit presumptuous.
