:/ that sounds almost as bad, haha. i took only one fiction class in college (because afterwards i decided it was an EXTREME WASTE OF MY TIME) but half the class was 40+ writing mystery and crime stories set in the cool of south beach. and the professor loved it and lapped it up like it was all good. it almost made me prefer the one really bland guy who was wrting really bland fantasy in the class.

one day though, i will write a MIAMI BASED FANTASY STORY THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE CRIME.

if i ever write fantasy one day. hahah.
