This week, we return to a classic.\u00a0I will give you\u00a020 subgenres. You will pick\u00a0two<\/em>\u00a0from the list either using a d20 or random number generator<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (or use tea leaves or falcon guts or something), then you will write a short story that mashes up those two subgenres. (So you might get Kaiju Noir, or Superhero BDSM, or Parallel Universe Whodunit!)<\/p>\n
