Hey everyone, i'm awfully sorry if i've put this post in the wrong place, BUT i was trying to submit a work of fiction, and my book is fantasy/romance...i was wondering if their was anyway to cross genre where i post, or will i have to post the same thing seperately in both genres?

I think I know what you are asking...

Many writers cross genres. I'd say every writer does. You can't have action without adventure, right? And fantasy is almost the same as Sci-fi. So, I'd say just pick the genre it mostly is and post it in that forum. Or you can always post in 'Other' if you aren't sure. I wouldn't recommend posting it twice.

You are welcome,

Yes, crossing genres is common. Don't post it twice; that just makes people think it's something different and essentially annoys them.
If you're not sure what your genre is, post it in the Other section. But my recommendation would be to post it in Fantasy, since, in my opinion, romance is more of an element than a genre.
Hope I helped!

Yeah, if a mod sees that you've posted the same thing twice we would probably delete one of them, so just pick whichever you think is most relevant.
