#WordWeavers 22. If you could magically write a new genre really well, which genre would you choose?
What do you mean by new? Entirely new? I want to relaunch1930s-style Weird Tales (Supernatural, emphasizing strangeness)
Existing: Well, I just launched a Steampunk serial, so can't use that one. I don't want, I am.
So lets go with Hard Boiled Detective - Raymond Chandler style only with a hard bitten Dyke PI.
We could start with solving the "Black Dahlia case," or the murder of "William Desmond Taylor" or who really killed "Virginia Rappe."

“The author! Def best place to screw with Poe and Time Manager,” #TimeTravelingGhost said.
“What a messy desk, but the plushies are cute,” Ghost noted.
“There’s a ghost,” Jeckle called from a shelf.
“So, what’s new?” Author shrugged. “Who’s it this time: Boo-gart, Greta Ghoulbo, Long Chain-ney?”
“Have Poe fall under the pendulum,” Ghost whispered in Author’s ear.
“Why? ‘Fall’ isn’t the prompt word.”
“Because I’ll haunt you otherwise! Stupid!”
“Stupid,” Heckle echoed.
“So? Get in line. It’s Betty Graveis’s turn, then Fred A. Scare.”
“How do you think up this stuff?”
Author tapped her head. “Garbage in, #nonsense out.”
