There's mystery forum?

Where would superheroes go? It's set in the present time and I guess there is an underlying science fiction. But it really isn't futuristic or tech that 'hasn't been invented... yet' or sorts. I would like to put it in Action Adventure. Also, do you think it would be cool to have sub-forums? Like Urban Fantasy? Or are there not enough sub-headings anyway?

I'd suggest fantasy. Super powers aren't real so...yeah. Sci would work if the super powers are created by technology but otherwise fantasy.

No mystery forum, that's why Nate suggested sci fi instead and extra sub headings aren't necessary at this time but feel free to make the suggestion in the suggestions area of the site ^^

I've got a long story (novella-length) I've been planning on posting but not sure which Fiction to put it under. It is set with medieval technology and more or less medieval social structure (by no means accurate) and has themes of relationship, family,and cat-and-mouse spy games. My primary focus is on developing the character's relationships with family, friends, enemies, and husband. It isn't a classical good-cheese woman-meets-man theme, more like "woman meets man, gets caught up in intrigue deceit and assassination games, finds unknown relatives, goes after villainous brother, discovers cheating hubby, takes down brother's ring of misinformation using newfound family, and finds forgiveness for her family". I suppose you could say romance is one of three threads? I've thought about fantasy, but I didn't want to distract from the clean storyline (though it would be easy to insert)... any ideas on where it would fit comfortably?
Bob: hmm, there's a lesson in all this.
Mr. Eglamore: Okay. Let's hear it.

I'd stick it under General Fiction. It sounds like it combines enough genres to go there.
