Yes, I trained in aikido for a year, but stopped after that.

I found this picture while randomly surfing the web, though.

Why are authors afraid of the science fiction label? Dragonsworn - 30/11/2009 05:41:35 PM 1334 Views
I think this may be true of genres in general Camilla - 30/11/2009 07:01:50 PM 684 Views
Aye, I agree. Rebekah - 30/11/2009 07:47:55 PM 632 Views
Did you borrow my signature pic or did you get it from the web, as well ? *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 01/12/2009 11:51:20 PM 272 Views

Genres have their use... LadyLorraine - 30/11/2009 08:24:29 PM 749 Views
Because then people expect them to be good Werthead - 30/11/2009 09:06:22 PM 704 Views
My favorite response. *NM* Aeryn - 03/12/2009 05:39:05 PM 278 Views
Because too many people will not even try a book that is labeled Science Fiction. Too intimidating? Tashmere - 01/12/2009 01:18:26 AM 665 Views
i actually have a recommendation for that... LadyLorraine - 01/12/2009 04:07:05 AM 646 Views
most people think Star Trek or Star Wars when they think SciFi random thoughts - 03/12/2009 05:28:05 PM 629 Views
but that is SciFi. I think you prefer Science Fiction imlad - 03/12/2009 05:45:29 PM 751 Views
No that is science fantasy scifi is just an abbreviation random thoughts - 03/12/2009 06:27:36 PM 627 Views
all genre labels are deep, dark, thorny pigeonhole that authors can't get out of. temeraire - 01/12/2009 05:54:48 PM 634 Views
Basically what temeraire said- "genre" has a stigma, no matter how unfair it may be beetnemesis - 01/12/2009 07:43:50 PM 664 Views
most things that fit neatly into a genre is crap, though. Camilla - 01/12/2009 08:01:33 PM 637 Views
I know! beetnemesis - 03/12/2009 02:55:17 PM 601 Views
the answer can be glimpsed in Tom's thread imlad - 02/12/2009 01:22:20 AM 629 Views
mmmno Camilla - 02/12/2009 11:11:02 AM 721 Views
but imlad - 03/12/2009 05:35:37 PM 699 Views
Because genres tend to market towards one particular group of people Ryan - 02/12/2009 04:38:00 AM 605 Views
Because 90% of what is written in the Scifi/fantasy genre is escapism crap random thoughts - 03/12/2009 05:26:59 PM 635 Views
But 90% of what is written outside the Scifi/fantasy genre is escapism crap as well. Werthead - 03/12/2009 05:29:20 PM 666 Views
I will reiterate: 92.689% of statistics used in an argument are made up on the spot imlad - 03/12/2009 05:39:36 PM 648 Views
I will have you know I made up that stastic some time ago random thoughts - 03/12/2009 06:19:29 PM 634 Views
I am not sure that is true random thoughts - 03/12/2009 06:23:04 PM 646 Views
True, but why bring Jane Austen conventions into the conversation? *NM* Werthead - 06/12/2009 06:24:18 PM 266 Views
What I wonder each time someone makes that remark... Legolas - 06/12/2009 06:44:28 PM 625 Views
