(another post about a genre that we're starting)
Mystery, the genre that typically includes a professional or other protagonist that has to solve various mysteries and problems in order to uncover a greater scheme. This can be murder, illegal acts that don't involve murder, or maybe some other petty thing that the characters fight over. It's great.
My thoughts??
As a "reader" (quotation marks since I haven't even really read a book in months) I'm not that much of a fan of mystery. Well, its not really because I don't like having nostalgia about Scooby-Doo or anything; I just haven't come across any actual mystery books. Probably because I'm not looking hard enough though. The faintest one that I can remember is The Westing Game and I can't even recall anything that happened in the book. Hell, I only remembered the title and had to look it up to confirm that it was a mystery novel. Anyways, sure. I'm up for whatever Craddock has in store for me in like 2 weeks.
(Following the pattern of this whole year, I'm pretty sure we're going to be writing ~our own~ mystery novels which I'm probably going to have to scramble to finish because I don't get any inspiration when I'm in that hard ass uncomfortable seat and just waiting for the period to be over or we move onto something else; adding onto the 3 other assignments that I have not completed but hey life sucks)
mr craddock's blog also asks for thoughts on tropes of the genre but the gag is that idk any tropes bc i only know 1 mystery novel in existence and i can only think of the title so yeah thats how its going for me right now
^ the only tropes i can think of come from scooby doo mystery incorporated so: is the whole bad guy in a costume trope a valid trope or
thats all i know im sorry
