What genres of MLP fanfiction are you most into? Mine would be the adventure genre.

I really like the adventure types like Fallout: Equestria, that's a great story! I also like the Tragedy types, one of my all time favorite tragedy fanfictions would have to be The Hanging of Twilight Sparkle. 

Spoiler

I'm also a huge fan of Clop fiction stories, not so much the romantic kind, just the straight-up sex kind. I like all kinds of Clop, doesn't really matter what it is as long as it's hot!

i really liked the one with discord's keepers so slice of life/drama i guess
i also like the metal opera "fall of an empire"a lot so i lean towards drama more

Anything with action. 

[Abandoned Acc 24]

I like quick reads that are sweet, humorous, sad, dark...

That was the first fic I read years ago that I actually liked. It was probably the first one in the fandom that made me appreciate pony fanfics. 

I tend to prefer smaller personal stories. Humor, simple slice of life, and even romance. Romance that I like is hard to find in in this fandom. The idealism and optimism of romance is usually a bit too saccharine at times. Anyway, to me genre is secondary to the style and themes, and if you can do horror and pony with a gripping narrative, gorgeous descroptions, and a theme that isn't too 'on the nose' I'll jump on that right away. I am a huge supporter of people learning to craft a good story with fanfics,

Slice of Life/Comedy. I prefer them to feel like something I could actually see in the show

[Misty Shadow 7,084]

Clopfics are the best

Just a tease, I jokingly voted for them. Admittedly though, I don't mind something that's a bit on the raunchier side and I love both horror and dark comedy.

[Luna's Admirer 944]

I am all for romantic and SOL stories. I am also a fan of stories where human child is adopted by ponies or vice versa. I am a fan of well-written HiE in general. 

I love light tragic fics as well. Anypony read My Little Dashie: We'll never be apart. That was really my favorite kind of bittersweet story. 

I also love human x pony romance fanfics again if well-written and meaningful.

I’m one of those terrible monsters who is corrupting the fandom because I like horror stories.

[Lunar Glow 674]

I mostly like Slice Of Life and Romace, but I’m a big reader anyway so everything is great to me except Mystey...I don’t know why but I just really don’t like those. 

But hooves up for Romance!! 

Also the second person and choose your own story fab fictions, too. Always interesting, those are.

[TransitPony 219]

Adventure along with action, suspense, sci-fi, drama, and tragedy will always be my genre. I am also into crossovers (yes, the ones that involve Sonic, I am a Sonic fan ). 

[Monsoon 1,648]

I enjoy dark crossover fics which have adventure elements to them although I enjoy everything except romance and clopfics those are disgusting in my opinion. I do also enjoy HIE fics.

I love Comedy but tend ot avoid the Romance tag because I don't like Mane six shipping with each other *gag*

Romance is better when OCs are involved.

[Pr0m4NV14 837]

I do enjoy having a chuckle over some of the badly written Clop-fictions, but when people get off to that kind of stuff, it just disgusts me. Anyhoo, people will do what they want, and we shall let them be, no?

(Strangley, Comixnix has not written a Clop-fiction yet.)

[Buttonmash1973 1,024]

Slice of life like Whirring

[Lonk Chase 255]

My favorite genre isn't a genre as much as a category: fanfics that make no sense what so ever and probably are poorly written but make you chuckle just because of the premise. Crossover fanfics frequently make their way onto this category.

[KatonRyu 1,026]

Probably slice of life, romance, and a bit of adventure for me. I usually only read shipping fics when I read fanfics, there are only a few fanfics I've read at all that didn't necessarily involve shipping, all of which were from other fandoms than MLP but shared one trait: they were Peggy Sue fics (not related to Mary Sue), fics where a character goes back in time to relive events with future knowledge. Don't know why, but that genre really draws me in.

[bigbertha 410]

Most of my favorite stories are rom-coms, so Romance and Comedy are my favorite. Although I do like a good drama too.

[Steve Piranha 28,781]

I don't have a single particular favorite genre, but sure I'm a sucker for timeskips. I love fics that take place in the future, specially if they happen in-story, just to see what can be of the lives of our beloved horses 

[Patty Thundersnow 4,129]

I used to be more Slice of life and adventure, but now i'm more adventure-horror type fics (such as Fallout Equestria). I've also read my fair share of dramas as well, and I like those, just not as much as the horror-adventure stories.

[MangoFoalix 24,898]

I used to read fanficitions all the time years back. Some were pretty good while some were... bad. I personally liked the horror ones. They spooked me quite a bit.

[EpicEnergy 22,082]

I love adventure fanfics, they really interest me! 

[Splashee 28,537]

Drama! I like very twisted soap operas!
