“When I was a kid, I read Robert A. Heinlein, I read H.P. Lovecraft, I read Robert E. Howard, and then later Tolkien. Some of these would be classified as fantasy, some as horror and some as science fiction. To me, they were all stories, they were imaginative stories that took me to other worlds, other times, or other planets or dimensions or what have you, and I enjoyed the hell out of them. I didn’t see these as totally different things. I still don’t. I think these distinctions are largely false ones.”

I’d be interested to see what kind off-beat stuff he likes to read. I think it’s really cool how he doesn’t distinguish between genres. Good writing is good writing. I don’t care who you are. Cheers.

I totally agree with Martin. Good writers like him, aren’t afraid to blur those lines and be outside those rigid categories.

Marietta,
I say, let the story tell itself, and let the scholars call it what they want.

But, but, but… what about marketing??? (Sarcasm here; actually, I agree with you.)
