Week 6 Assignment 3

Cyberpunk: High-tech and low life, features conflicts involving computer hackers and big corporations, usually set in the near future. Popular authors include William Gibson, John Shirley, and Neal Stephenson. I found info and authors on Goodreads. Trends being discussed among fans mostly involve gaming as well as self-publishing their own work.

Borough Warfare: a subgenre of urban fiction. I could find nothing upon searching. I changed my search to "gang warfare" fiction and did find a few sites, but most were actually true stories. Finally, "gang" fiction yielded results both old and new, like S. E. Hinton, Reymundo Sanchez, and Cupcake Brown (gotta love some of these names!) Memoirs seem to be more popular than fiction in this subgenre.

Native American Western: Historial or current, focuisng on the plight of Native Americans in the West. No real fan sites, but lots of links to Native American information. I did find a website for Western Writers or America. Did you know they give out annual "Spur Awards" for Western writing? It covers everything from movie scripts to poetry! A few of this year's winners were Amanda Coplin, Johnny D. Boggs and James Reasoner. 

Mash-ups:
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Graham-Smith combines historical fiction with horror
Cinder by Marissa Meyer combines a fairy tale with science fiction
