I have a couple of decent stories on ribbonfarm, but the easiest fiction I've written is actually a flow-hack... on where half the issues are kinda silly didactic fiction around an absurdist consultant world. It's mediocre quality, but the thing is it flowed out easily.

I probably have about a novella worth of words there, like 20k. I have the final chapter to write, after which a winter project is editing the whole thing into an ebook, which will be my first kinda-fiction book. We'll see how it goes.

The frontispiece of Reality Hunger by David Shields quotes the best line on fiction I've ever read: "All great works of literature either dissolve a genre or invent one." I don't care about "great" but I find that genre-creative-destruction is where words flow easiest for me.

My art of gig yakverse fiction may not be great, but it does dissolve/invent a genre -- absurdist consultant fiction with elements of sci-fi and fantasy but base content being basic airport-business-book style business ideas. It's the only one of it's kind I know of.

Also bits of murder mystery. There's such a thing as consultant fiction but afaik I'm the only one who's gone down this particular genre-bending bunnytrail.
