Favorite mixed-genre media

[philstar22]

What are some of your favorite media that fit into multiple genre categories?

Re: Favorite mixed-genre media

[(Anonymous)]

Because I'm usually a wuss with anything potentially too gorey or 'too real' (like a too-detailed serial killer movie) when it comes to horror, I prefer hybrid genres - especially when its horror mixed with comedy or something else.

Definitely have a big soft spot for musical horrors like: Anna and the Apocalypse (a zombie highschool musical), Sweeney Todd (although I still like the movie - when Angela Lansbury passed away I got hooked on listening to her version of Mrs Lovett), The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Little Shop of Horrors (both good campy and humorous).

Re: Favorite mixed-genre media

[greghousesgf]

which version of Little Shop do you like better?

I love the midway genre shift in From Dusk Til Dawn

Re: Favorite mixed-genre media

[kaijinscendre]

I love horror comedies: Shaun of the Dead, Tucker and Dale vs Evil, and Jennifer's Body.

I feel like most other genres are too similar for me to call them mixed-genre.

I think there's so much overlap in fantasy, horror and science fiction that it's hard to identify things that are a crossover between the genres.

That said, for things that don't fall neatly into any one genre - gotta love The Locked Tomb. SO good. SUCH a good weird fun space-fantasy-planetary romance-horror-necromancy-villains mashup.

Comic books that are visual pastiches.

E.g.: anything by Moebïus, unusual movie tie-ins, how-to books that explain photo bashing ( digital thumb nailing technique using multiple photographs ), et cetera.

Re: Favorite mixed-genre media

Reefer Madness: the Musical, it's both campy parody and anti-propaganda propaganda.

Techno music without a computer...

Which is how the genre originated, but it feels mixed genre in spirit...

( Techno music is the deliberate repurposing of technology to produce music -- industrial is a related genre. )

I have major "never remember ANYTHING I like when asked" disease. But genially I loved Nope, that's my favorite Peele's movie because it's such a mash between genres. Western parts are so good.

I love Cornetto trilogy. It's usually not the most fan-favorite movie of the three, but The World's End is my number 1. Alien invasion, drunk guys comedy, and drama about addiction and self-harm? Sign me up.

Partly thanks to this comm but I just adore Dave Malloy's work. Musicals that are not really musicals but something else entirely is such a great thing for me. Octet with it's classical a cappella and lyrics containing phrases like "erectile dysfunction" and "Say it louder for the people in the back" and also being such a genuine piece about internet is *chief's kiss

What Are Your Fanfiction Writing 'tragedies'?

Posted a fic with significant typos that you didn't notice til much much later? Misremembered something from the main source and wrote it into your story? Got started on a WIP that you had planned out and everything - only to change your mind half way?
Posted the wrong file to a fandom challenge/festival at the last minute?

Whatever it is, feel free to share!

My 2007 unfinished Naruto highschool AU fic that still lives on FFnet and had been left on a cliffhanger.

I still have the next two chapters saved on my USB stick, but A) the last fic ends on a cliffhanger, B) I don't want to write more knowing that my badly written fic started off as a goofy love story and then got really serious near the end where I had left it off, and C) I STILL GET EMAIL NOTIFYING ME OF NEW COMMENTS TO THIS DAY, WHY??

I once called an OC by a canon character's name and didn't notice it for a good year. The OC was definitely related to the canon character but that was supposed to be part of the twist, lol. Oh well.

Running out of steam on a 100K+ WIP sounds familiar too. Goddamnit.

Another time, I wrote a backstory for a canon character, only for the creators to release the true backstory shortly afterward... oops.

I missed all the signs of a canon couple while writing my OTP at the time, and had to revise some stuff after someone clued me in... because I'm a ninny who tends to run canon-compliant. The fic turned out crappy, but I still like the idea of the pairing itself.

Starting a 30 days kinks fics challenge and for the fifth day I got stuck writing a story that's way longer than I had intended - and has strayed further from the kink into weirder territory.

Also, wrote a whole first draft of a South Park highschool AU about the main ship needing to go to therapy while volunteering at the charity shop I was watching over - and left the notebook there. When I went back hoping that the manager didn't read it; she definitely had but didn't say anything - but still gave me a giant stink eye throughout my shift that ended up being my last since I was too embarrassed to return.

I once had a changes-the-meaning-of-the-word type of typo in the important word of a three-word emotional punchline. It was the last sentence of a 4k+ fic and meant to hit hard.
Until a kind reader pointed it out a few weeks after it was posted, I had no idea that I had ruined the emotional impact of the fic because of a stupid typo.

It's what I think about anytime I reread that fic. The typo is long fixed, but I will always remember.

Misspelled a canon character's name repeatedly in a long fic and didn't realise until I got back into that fandom four years later with the next installment.

I have a bunch of unfinished fics on my old FF.net account, so now I have a personal rule that I'll never post anything unless it's finished.

Also, I once participated in a fic exchange and didn't write anything until the very last minute. I just couldn't figure out how to fill the prompt and nothing I wrote sounded right. I wasn't happy with what I wrote and neither was my giftee.

As a teenager I showed my two or three page attempt at an m/m fic to a friend who I mistakenly thought wouldn't have a problem with it, only to get lectured about how "gross" gay people are and what's wrong with me and why would I write such a thing. We're no longer friends, and I know she was the one who was wrong in that situation, but it still sometimes makes me feel bad. :(

started writing a fanfic for a show early in season one that was crossed over to another minor show within the franchise, got derailed for a bit due to real life and couldn’t get back into writing it due to things happening in season two that threw me off

show was Ducktales (2017)

I never finished my House Blackadder crossover.

There was one multichapter fic I finished in its entirety and edited before posting (as is my usual habit, though sometimes I deviate) and went ahead and posted it at AO3.

Months later realized I only saved the final chapter as a DRAFT and it had been sitting there "unfinished" for all that time.

I had planned a sorta RPF fic, it was going to be a super long fic with about 7 main-ish characters.
I stopped writing the fic when one of the actors I used in my fic as a character unexpectedly passed away.
After a year of staying away from the fic (mostly because I knew I'd abandoned the fic), while re-reading what I did have along with the extensive fic notes, I got a strong itch to change names around and re-vamp the fic for a different fandom (original fic idea came from a different fandom).
But the actor who passed away had been a lead and the story I had for them was way too connected to their personality that I can't just change this person's story/background around.
It's a WIP that I'm pretty sure I won't write for again, and no one else will ever see it.
I really loved this fic too. The worldbuilding was a lot of fun and I felt like I really knew all my characters well, wanted to get to know them better since I'd only really written enough for the reader to get to know 60% of the main cast and how their lives are like at the beginning of the story.

I wrote fic for a series that had finished without myself having seen more than about the first 1/3, and not knowing the canon ending. I admitted this in my author notes about the fic. Looking back it feels like it's an amateur move to admit you're making stuff up, instead of going ahead and watching the complete canon first and writing a canon-divergent AU.

As it turned out, what I wrote was pretty similar to a scene that actually happens in canon at a further point than I'd watched then, my version was just much more melodramatic and took place years later than the canon scene. On the other hand, some readers might have thought I was lying about not having watched that far just so I could write my own version of the scene and pretend it was my original idea.

I used to have a warped understanding of paragraph spacing - in my mind, one single-spaced enter between paragraphs was the norm, like a book, with double-spaced gaps reserved for subject changes or important sentences - and a lot of my old words are significantly worse for this.
