[close] This is a cult. I have made this for personal reasons, join at your own risk. There will be practically no rules, if you do not like things being discussed, please leave the group. Some things being discussed here will be murder tips, psychological tips, dark quotes, inspirational quotes, any dark romance, psychological thrillers, or horror books can be recommended. Please do not join if you are offended easily, or unnerved easily, topics will be dark, and not for the faint of heart. Thank you so much for understanding, and if you decide to, thank you for joining my group! ~ Tessie

[close] Anti-genre is a new group formed with the purpose of connecting indie and self-published authors who don’t fall into typical “genre” fiction categories. What’s anti-genre? Anti-genre writers don’t fall into other popular genre categories. These writers strive to make some form of social commentary in their fiction. That is, they not only entertain, they also challenge us by making a statement about the world we live in. This is an inclusive group. These stories could easily range from war and politics, to the dulls of the working world, suburbia, consumerism, and social institutions, to just about anything else that the daily world revolves around. These works may use any number of devices including but by no means limited to: memoir, historical fiction, satire, parody, dark humor. You see, it is an intentionally broad but focused genre. Why organize a new genre? In the growing world of indie and self-publishing many authors are struggling to fit into a genre. We don’t write romance, sci fi, paranormal, etc., and sometimes feel lost and unable to connect with authors and readers who share our interests. Creating this genre will hopefully help with that problem. We’re here to organize and support one another’s work. If you feel your work doesn’t fall into one of the other popular genre fiction categories, AND feel it could fit here, come give us a try. Send a group invite and we'll see if you feel like you can contribute to our little community here. We’re easy on the eyes, friendly, and who knows, you just might find your niche. Can you give me some famous examples that might fit your genre? Orwell, Huxley, Palahniuk, Heller, Selby, Jr., and oh so many others out there. Who we are not: Scifi, paranormal, romance, YA, or other popular genre writers. Not that there is anything wrong with that. We just need a place for us ‘nons’ to connect amid the pool of other genres.
