IT'S A JUNGLE OUT THERE
Action & Adventure
Risk, danger, and excitement inform adventure fiction, which focuses on a particular challenge, quest, or journey which the protagonist, or hero, must undertake and successfully complete. Adventure fiction includes a villain or other antagonistic forces which the hero thwarts with wits and ingenuity, rather than violence.
GIRL POWER
Chicklit
Chick lit is modern fiction about the lives and romantic problems of young women, usually written by women. While romantic elements often exist in ChickLit, stories typically focus on the female protagonist’s relationships with friends or family.
AVANT-GARDE
Contemporary Literature
ContemporaryLit are stories that take place in the present day and in which characters encounter modern-day difficulties and issues. It reflects current trends in life and culture and generally features reality-based plots with strong characters and a believable story. Settings usually keep to the modern era.
It contains characters that behave the way most readers would, the characters must be believable, the story is set in the present, the setting is a real place or at least seems like a real place, and the events are events that could happen in real life.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT
Diverse Lit
DiverseLit is a campaign made to support and promote Wattpad stories that include characters who are part of a minority group that are not typically featured in literature today. The minority groups these characters are involved in can be, but are in no way limited to, disabilities, body types, illnesses, disorders, sexual identities, religions, and nationalities. To sum it up, this campaign promotes stories with characters with any attributes that are not commonly written about.
YOUR BIGGEST FAN
Fan Fiction
For all intents and purposes, fanfiction is any fan-produced writing that uses, remixes, or subverts existing fictional worlds to create unique stories.
ENCHANTED WORDS
Fantasy
Fantasy is a genre of literature that features magical and supernatural elements that do not exist in the real world. Although some writers juxtapose a real-world setting with fantastical elements, many create entirely imaginary universes with their own physical laws and logic and populations of imaginary races and creatures. Speculative in nature, fantasy is not tied to reality or scientific fact.
hiSTORY
Historical Fiction
Historical fiction is a literary genre where the story takes place in the past. Historical novels capture the details of the time period as accurately as possible for authenticity, including social norms, manners, customs, and traditions.
HANDLE WITH SCARE
Horror
In the simplest terms, a horror story is one written with the intent to scare. And that's what this reading list is all about. Basically, our goal is to ensure you have trouble sleeping at night because you're too scared to turn out the light...
COMEDY HOUSE
Humor
In the simplest terms, a humor story is one written with the intent to make audiences laugh or to induce amusement or laughter. A humor story will have the exact sames elements as a normal story. You will still have a plot, characters, and scenes. You will still need to develop your plot and have character arcs. The largest difference is that the rule of funny applies, which gives you more leeway for events than a serious book
PRIDE PARTY
LGBTQ+
First, a book must have a main character who identifies as LGBTQ or deals with LGBTQ issues. Second, those issues must be overt and central to the plot.
CLOAK AND DAGGER
Mystery & Thriller
Mystery stories feature a protagonist who investigates a crime, problem, puzzle, or some sort of unknown. The protagonist, whether an actual detective or an amateur, often struggles to achieve his or her goals and endures various psychological and physical obstacles, but gradually deduces the solution through facts, logic, and working backward.
While thriller stories also focus on uncovering mysteries, they move at a faster pace and are driven by action, tension, excitement, and violence. Thriller stories are often quite sensational, and involve larger-scale criminal offenses with higher stakes, such as conspiracy or espionage. Thrillers also include dangerous situations that the protagonist endures while trying to solve the greater problem.
THE PATH I CHOOSE
New Adult
There's a cusp between young adult stories and adult stories, and it's called New Adult. It's not a genre but a demographic, and generally appeals to readers between 18 and 25 years of age. Why is this necessary?
While young adult tends to touch on themes such as bullying, high school, peer pressure, family issues, and the struggles of first loves, adult fiction usually includes the other end of the spectrum from a parent's point of view. That delicate in-between stage of transitioning into adulthood from teenhood has never seemed to fit under either of those umbrellas, and thus, New Adult was born!
AS A MATTER-OF-FACT
Non Fiction
Here is a list of things that ARE non-fiction:
True stories, guides and manuals, self-help books, cookbooks, memoirs, travelogues, well-researched biographies, scholarly research/essays, highly rational book reviews, heritage explorations, histories, and persuasive inspirational/ motivational reading.
Here is a list of things that are NOT non-fiction:
Fact books, rant books, spam books, most diaries, "based on true stories," contests, loosely organized story critiques, unsubstantiated opinions, shops, fictional stories about celebrities, fictional stories about your friends or family, self-insertion stories, roleplay, selfie/photo books, celebrity data, and poetry.
HEEBIE-JEEBIES
Paranormal
Paranormal is a form of fiction that occurs in a modern-day setting, but contains creatures or happenings that are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding or “normal” human experience.
BLEEDING INK
Poetry
As William Wordsworth said, poetry is “the spontaneous outflow of powerful feelings.” Indeed, poetry employs rhythm, language, rhetorical devices, and figures of speech to convey an imaginative, emotional experience. Poetry contrasts with prose, or everyday writing, and often uses elaborate diction and figurative language which conceals deeper meaning.
MELTING HEARTS
Romance
The goal is to promote stories with great romantic love stories; whether those who have a happy ending or not. This means deep, unusual, and thoughtful stories, as well as the very best characters Wattpad has to offer in all genres.
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND
Science Fiction
Dubbed the "literature of ideas," Science Fiction deals with futuristic concepts such as parallel universes, space exploration, time traveling, extraterrestrial life, fictional and advanced technology. The genre aims to answer questions in ways no one has ever thought with eccentric yet amazing storylines that will have you shook.
"Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet, but soon will, and will change everything for everybody, and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible, never the impossible." - Ray Bradbury
MINUSCULE PORTIONS
Short Story
A short story is a piece of prose fiction that typically can be read in one sitting and focuses on a self-contained incident or series of linked incidents, with the intent of evoking a single effect or mood. The length of the book should approximately sum up to 20k words. Stories longer than this won't be accepted.
RATED "T" FOR TEEN
Teen Fiction
Teen Fiction traces the ins, outs, ups and downs of growing up through the emotional, physical, and social experiences of a teenaged or young adult protagonist with which readers identify. Teen Fiction often takes place within a high school setting and may serve as a “coming-of-age” story, documenting the awkwardness of adolescence and the challenge of coping with difficult social issues.
WE OWN THE NIGHT
Werewolf & Vampire
Werewolf fiction concerns itself primarily with the subject of werewolves or other human/beast forms from folklore and monster myths. Werewolf fiction often focuses on lycanthropy - the supernatural transformation of a human into a wolf - and its repercussions, but may also include associated drama within the hierarchy of the pack and the struggle for the protagonist to repress primal impulses and bestial urges.
Vampire fiction concerns itself primarily with the subject of vampires who feed on living creatures in order to survive. While vampires were traditionally horrific and villainous, modern interpretations often reimagine the fanged bloodsuckers as more nuanced and complex entities. Vampire fiction usually deals with the human protagonist’s encounter with a vampire, their romantic relationship with a vampire, or his or her transformation into a vampire themselves. Other conflicts may include vampire-hunting or drama within the vampire coven.
OMNIPRESENT
General Fiction
General Fiction is any story that is composed of more than one genre but could also mean a story that does not fit into a specific genre. It concentrates on the daily experiences and conflicts of a protagonist, usually an adult, with detailed characterization and background.
