-
Adventure
Action! Thrill! Risk! Full of that stuff! -
Romance
Love! Affection! Heartbreak! All about it. -

Can take place in a real historical time, but all the things that happen and/or some or all of the character may not have been real; based on historical events. -
Mystery
Mostly about solving a strange problem, crime, or puzzle. -
Fantasy
Has some magic, and other supernatural phenomena, too. -
Science Fiction
Think about aliens and UFOs. Future science and tech. -
Myth
A cultural story explaining natural phenomena (of course, we now use science to explain instead) and/or entertaining us. Can involve supernatural characters. Click here for a myth explaining how the seasons change. -
Parody
A spoof; another piece of art is imitated to make fun of -
Allegory
A story that has a hidden meaning -
Graphic Novel
A story told in art; like a comic book -
Satire
A story that exposes stupidity using humor -
Realism
A fiction story that could've happened (but it didn't so that's why it's called a fiction story!).
A story can be a mix of genres; it doesn't have to be only one genre. Click here for an example!

Free Verse
