User blog comment:Hero Forever/The Valuable Merits of Each Genre/@comment-1070010-20160303045707

We have a rather interesting selection of genres on this wiki.

The English major in me would like to point out that Dark, Grimdark, and Noblebright are actually not genres, but terms our community has devised to describe the tone of a story.

We also cover a much wider variety of genres, sub-genres, and even sub sub-genres than the ones we use to categorize our stories. As a whole, I would say our canon could be described as a "space opera" (sub-genre of science-fiction), with elements of weird and mythic fiction (sub-genres of speculative fiction and fantasy, respectively).

Occasionally, we get "sword and planet," which is a sub sub-genre of science fantasy- in turn a sub-genre of fantasy. Our Earth setting seems to contain elements of postcyberpunk (a sub sub-genre of punk, which is a sub-genre of science-fiction), blended with superhero fiction (a sub-genre of speculative fiction).
