Currently the following fics have been given the "Other" genre. Given that most of the things under that list are scripts games or other true oddities, I think it would be better to categorize them differently. I'm open to suggestions.
Name: A Greater Chinese Empire
Name: A Sword Among Pens
Name: Flight of the Immortal Fire
Ah, for these three, I take responsibility.
I classified
A Greater Chnese Empire as "Other" largely because I wasn't quite sure how else to classify it. The work is largely an alternate history story told primarily through prose that was designed to emulate historical fact books--as a result, I couldn't figure out what genre to put it under. I suppose we could put it under "Action", since there are descriptions of military conflict in it, or perhaps "Drama" since there are occasional dialogue exchanges illustrating certain dealings between important historical/fictional people.
I put
A Sword Among Pens as "Other" because none of the genres listed seemed to fit it. The story is a monologue from the perspective of an Oni and how she's getting stressed in a particularly Oni-like manner due to isolation from others of her kind. It doesn't fit "Drama", unless I'm misunderstanding what we mean by "Drama"; it doesn't fit Mystery and Suspense, since that appears to be for detective-style mystery stories and similar works. Everything else didn't fit either.
Finally, I put
Flight of the Immortal Fire down as "Other" since it's technically a Quest, i.e. a choose-your-own-ending story where the plot is directly influenced, to at least some extent, by participants.
As for
The Lion, The Wolf, the Hawk, and the Wasp, which I wrote...I can understand someone having difficulty assigning a genre to this one as well. It's a series of short stories that flesh out setting elements in the
Dark Souls videogame via myth-like, fireside tales. They don't neatly fall in a particular genre, since the style of story-telling was designed to emulate much older works: there's action, yes, but it's not the sort of tense, high-flying action we're used to whenever we think of something labeled "Action", etc.
Edit: If we're looking for suggestions on
Tempest Saphirra, I would recommend something like Drama, ##Slice of Life.
