In my university, the beginner workshops were like that (genre fiction is a big no-no) but the advanced workshops generally accept it. My advanced workshop professor said that it only makes sense to write about what interests you because if you don't, what you write isn't informed by your passion (which doesn't entirely follow because writing off literary fiction just because it doesn't have spaceships/elves/mystery is the same as writing off genre fiction because it has robots/dwarves/serial killers).

On one hand, I think it makes perfect sense to outlaw genre fiction in beginning workshops because you're focusing on the basics but it's frustrating to hear a professor make jabs at a genre you love one minute and then ask who's seen and loved Avatar the next.

But why? Genre fiction includes - or should include - the 'basics', too.
