It is difficult but one of the reasons for it is like comedy, horror is very, very subjective. What might be pants-wettingly terrifying to one person will get a shrug out of another.

If anything I consider comedy and horror to be the hardest things to write in part because of their subjective nature, but also because you've got to be good at an assortment of different techniques to make them effective.

Sure, but at the same time, I feel like there's a lot more comedic fic out there than there is horror fic. So subjectivity isn't an absolute barrier.

That is a very good point, I honestly forgot about that while writing my comment, oops.

Hm, it may be a case of people just preferring more light-hearted stories then? And I do think those are easier to write, maybe a bit more fun as well? Idk.

But there is no end to comedy fics.

Yup, I completely forgot about that, don't ask me how but I did. :P

I still think that horror is a hard genre to write, but it could be a case of people just wanting some light-hearted fun.

I know I've read maybe one or two horror-fics ever, and I liked both, but yeah it's not something you see much.
