For non-writers: if someone magically forced you to write something, what would it be and why? Length/category/genre/audience/etc.

For writers: if you could only work in one length/category/genre/etc. ever again, which would it be and why?

Does anybody feel that they aren't covered in either of those two categories, writers and non-writers? If so, can you explain why?

Myself, I think if I had to stick with one thing, it'd probably be YA fantasy novels. I'm glad I don't have to, but if I did....

I'd like to think that whatever I'm working on now will be the best thing I've written to date. But sometimes it's hard to compare adult SF short stories to YA children's novels to adult fantasy trilogies in that regard. Besides, I'm opposed to total orderings in general. We all know that by now, right? Mrissas Don't Like Total Orderings. Rule of life.

As a writer wannabe can I answer both ways?

The only fiction of my own I've been fired up/inspired about were YA fantasy ideas. (both still in the worldbuilding stage, though one has sketchy characters & themes! ooh ah.)

More realistically if I was forced to write something I would broadly say 'games' (making rules & such count as writing, right?) and if that didn't cut it, 'roleplaying games' or supplements for them.

(shrug) I know, totally out of left field... :P
