Genre categorization is a capitalist (rather than artistic) thing, a symptom of marketing and major-chain bookshelf placement.

America's all about the various voices, right? When we all speak with a common voice we verge on fascism, which is militaristic, and fundamentally anti-American.

Online writing is supplementary, complementary, another part of the whole, something that's only as important as one's investment in it.

I'm an only child and an American and am wholly in favor of uniqueness of voice in everything, especially music and writing.

There's a ton of good art and music and writing out there offline among a ton of trash, and the same goes with what's online.

Artists used to argue about art for art's sake versus social realism etc, and now it's like the most dominate argument is related to "art for the market's sake." It's a necessity, somewhat, for some people.

The problem with the term "The New Fiction" is that the fiction will inevitably be old. The same could have been said about the work of any generation of writers.
