Well here we are again, 6 months down the line and staring down the barrel of another genre survey! (Thanks KenSeg! whip )

Last time we created a bit of a voting frenzy (54 votes) by allowing multiple votes, but the spread didn't look out of kilter compared to previous surveys. So I think it's worthwhile.

This time you have 2 votes. So a first choice and a second choice.

It was interesting to see Erotic get a few votes, but it is one of those ambiguous genres that has many subgenres and can be hard to pin down. I remember reading Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon recently and raising an eyebrow at the raunchy sex scenes, yet no-one would ever class it as anything other than a cyberpunk/near future/sci-fi. You can then come across some erotica that isn't explicit at all, but never strays from the subject of sex.

I guess all genres suffer the same abiguity somewhere along the way. Really it's just a method of ad hoc labelling. For the most part it's entirely useful...

So let's be useful!!

Yes, I've inverted the selection so Fantasy is no longer at the top. wink Will it still get the most votes though?

Genre of Game
multiple choice, up to 2 choices
Erotic (0%, 0 Votes)
Espionage (5%, 2 Votes)
Post-Apocalyptic (16%, 6 Votes)
Historical (11%, 4 Votes)
Horror (3%, 1 Votes)
Pulp (8%, 3 Votes)
Supers (16%, 6 Votes)
Science Fiction (14%, 5 Votes)
Fantasy (19%, 7 Votes)
Other (tell us what it is, OK) (8%, 3 Votes)
Total Votes: 37
