social/cultural (3.00/1) (#4)
by arielladrake on Fri Apr 23, 2004 at 07:04:30 PM PST
I've always seen social/cultural as mostly being genres wherein social/cultural acceptance and/or relevance is a major factor. To be honest, it actually did start off as my 'dumping ground' for mainstream. The acceptance thing is very much present in literature as well as mainstream, though in mainstream that idea of acceptable tends to be more fluid.

acceptance (3.00/0) (#5)

Do you mean acceptance of the character within the framework of the story, or acceptance of the story within our society/culture?

Because if it's the former, I have a little bit of that going on in my novel right now... didn't realise it was 'literary' ;-)
