New Genre Request: Dark fiction
Hi--
here are the results, stats, and comments on the
"Invalid Item" Open in new Window. poll. I hope this gives you some of the info you need to decide whether to add this new genre to the list.
Please let me know if you need more info.

*Note* As of April 17, '08, a new genre has been added to WDC: Dark. A huge thank you goes out to all who helped to champion this cause!
Hooray for The Dark Side!

There are many items on this site that are "dark" that do not really fit into the genres of Horror/Scary, Thriller, Gothic, or even Psychological (which can be construed as non-fiction).
         Some dark writers write to explore their own dark side, while some write about the people who go bump in the night.
         Do you think this genre should be added? This would be a catch-all genre for "dark" items that do not fit into any of the genres already offered.

         Interested in what others have said about this question? Click here: "Invalid Item" Open in new Window.  Posted at "The Suggestion Box": "New Genre Request: Dark fiction"  Open in new Window.. Thanks for your support.
