Q for the LJ-mind...
Sep. 11th, 2009 02:04 pmPreparing to give a workshop tomorrow on blending genres. Trying to find sterling examples of blendings that work (romcoms, SF adventure, etc) and more importantly perhaps, ones that don't.
[note: I'm well read/viewed int he fireld, but I'm looking for stuff that I might be overlooking, or not thinking of as a 'blend' per se. And yes, 3-genre blends are okay but after that it becomes more of a stew than a specific blend...)
Anyone got suggestions to toss into the hat? Books preferred, but movies are good, too.
