I want a genre with ragged edges, where the fantastic and the normal  can be found in the same world, just in different neighbourhoods;

I want a genre with a sense of wonder that doesn’t treat me like a child;

I want a genre that doesn’t reek of pretension resting on dusty pedestals;

I want a genre that respects tradition, but isn’t enslaved by it;

I want a genre that may stoop to disgust, but also aspires to awe

I want a genre that will allow me to be a dime-store grifter Monday, a starship gunner Tuesday, a kid growing up in a bad home Wednesday, a sexual cosmonaut of love’s dark sides on Thursday, a fighter first level (veteran) Friday, a trick shooting monkey on Saturday, and pro wrestler in the year 2020 Sunday.

Any suggestions?
