The submissions post for next week is below as usual.

"When asked about those genres, he said something along the lines of how they were done to death and terribly cliche..."

This is the thing that gets me. Everything has been done to fucking death. There are only a finite number of stories, and they've all been fucking told already. Declaring that one particular genre is "cliche" or "done to death" is kind of like theory-induced blindness: you have the genre that you prefer and that you think is the most legitimate, and all other genres are tired or corny. In reality, there is no perfect genre, and there is nothing new under the goddamn sun.

Although actually, while we're going there, SF/F probably offers the only new shit under the sun, because it requires new world creation. In terms of plot and characterization, however, someone, somewhere, has already done it. Guaranteed, whether it's "literature" or something else.

Just to clarify what he meant, it was that the genre had been driven into the ground and given a bad reputation. Just like vampire novels get the eye-rolls now thanks to Twilight.

He was actually very supportive, and he was the first person in any form of academia that didn't treat my desire to write about magic and spaceships like some kind of pox. It was very nice, all things considered. :)
