Aliens?

Seriously, though, I've noticed TONS and TONS of sci-fi authors. Like a crazy amount compared to other genres. Or am I just being paranoid of other species...? LMAO!!

>50% of book sales on Amazon are Romance sooo are we all lurking in the shadows of GR...?

*blank stare*

Hugs,
Ann

L.C. Perry | 21 comments Really? I've noticed a heck of a lot of Fantasy! I'm writing a fantasy series now but that's only because i had an idea in mind; i had no idea how common the genre really was!

Sooo Sci-Fi and Fantasy, eh?

At least we'll have you on the inside, LC ^_~

Hmm. I wonder if Romance authors are less interactive with each other and more with their readers? *ponders* Yeah, I dunno what I'm talking about haha!!


message 4: by Jane (new)

Jane Blythe Yes, yes I have! On both of those science fiction and fantasy.

This group will draw out the other romance authors hiding out on Goodreads to come out of those shadows into the beautiful romancey sunshine! (❛‿❛✿̶̥̥)

My hysterical laugh for the morning. Thank you!


message 14: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Siegrist (amandasiegrist) And about the Sci-fi bit, yes, I see a lot of that and fantasy. I feel like a little minnow among big fish in other groups. But they are all such nice people that it makes it okay:) It's nice to connect to other amazing romance authors.

Am I the designated group clown? Cuz I dig it. Still keeping my Mistress title, though. And my whip.

And totally!! I dunno why there's not already a group to connect romance writers, riiiight? But it's all good cuz we're gonna form a romance army and rise up against the Sci-Fi machine...

Of course, I might just eat the icing...

*smiles sweetly*


message 29: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Siegrist (amandasiegrist) I've never used cream cheese icing. Sorry. *hides in a corner* If like the regular kind you can have it all. I always scrape it off. Lol.

Agreed! Which is why I always scrape it off. Yet, I can't make a cake without it. I'm not a cream cheese fan. *backs away slowly* Don't hold it against me:)

Jane Blythe It's my dad's birthday in a couple of weeks and I have already planned what cake I'm baking (cos I'm the official family cake maker) and I'm making chocolate cake, with chocolate ganache, with chocolate covered liquorice to decorate on top, haven't made ganache in ages so can't wait!


message 37: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Siegrist (amandasiegrist) Sounds delicious! I've never had anything like that or made ganache. You are the official baker here:)

You ladies are killing me.


message 40: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Abigail (melissaabigail) | 27 comments Fantasy seems to be all there is anywhere now. I was lurking in the YA section at the library to see what the cool thing was and everything was fantasy. POOR ME I DON'T WRITE FANTASY. (yet)

On an unrelated/related note, I sometimes like to spend my time on Deviantart. There is nothing but MyLittlePony there, so I guess I can't complain about GR.
