I prefer the fact that it’s write one and done, the rounds over such a long period of time in NYCM is difficult for me. I also love doing the duels over there where you get to read and judge.

Oh and I’ve always found the genres wacky and strangely specific but in a really good way, especially since you have one swap

I had to launch the new site 2 months earlier than I wanted (it was not supposed to be released until a couple weeks before the Summer Battle) -- so the forums aren't quite ready. But they will be ready before Debrief!

Genres dropped!

Magical Realism
Magical Realism is a genre that incorporates magical or supernatural elements into otherwise realistic settings, characters, and events. Unlike traditional fantasy or science fiction, where the magical or supernatural is often explained or rationalized within the story's internal logic, magical realism presents these elements as a natural and accepted part of the world in which the story takes place.

Conspiracy
Conspiracy is a genre that involves a protagonist who uncovers a conspiracy or cover-up that threatens their own safety, and often the safety of others. It is a recurring theme in these works that characters who are unraveling the conspiracy face challenges in discerning the truth amidst a web of deceptions. As rumors, lies, propaganda, and counter-propaganda pile up, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish between what is a part of the conspiracy and what is merely a coincidence.

Military Lampoon
Military Lampoon is a subgenre of satire that parodies the military and its culture through humor and exaggeration. This genre often takes a critical look at the military's bureaucracy, its hierarchical structure, and its norms and traditions. The stories often include humorous depictions of military life, such as the experiences of new recruits or the absurdity of training exercises, as well as the sometimes-grim realities of combat.

Environmental Drama
Environmental Drama is a genre that focuses on environmental issues and their impact on society and individuals. The stories often examine environmental degradation, pollution, climate change, and other issues through the eyes of the characters, who may be activists, scientists, politicians, or ordinary people. This genre explores the complex relationships between humans and the natural world.

These are tough ones, especially for 500 words!
