I will take that as a compliment... I think

I like a little horror myself.

I have been thinking of expanding into horror, and sci-fi.

Give action adventure a little break.
No probs my dude.

I think your style would work well in the Horror genre.. . lethal is pretty much the default setting there.

For Sci-fi i'd say it's more 50/50 ( depending how how you want to portray your infiltrator/protagonist/antagonist).

For other genres (wartime/spy/action/historical/crime) then there is more room for variation.

This is just my opinion of course, based on what I like. :D

I was thinking of doing a female vampire rogue, with uniform stealing, swashbuckling. Non lethal with most humans but lethal only as a last resort. Throw in some fem/fem romance vampire with a human.

Westerns? Interesting but will need to make it my own, without cloning Desperadoes.

@Jack_079 Thanks for the input.

For horror, I will stick with lethal. Actually the Daughters is only my third horror story. My first being House of the Witch Epilogue.

Sci-fi, I tend to prefer lethal varieties as well, like shape-shifters and the Species movies.

For the other genres, I tend to go 50/50, but I prefer grey heroes, not whiter than white

So many ideas :D

I get it. Its about the context

My favourite SI S2 episode i wrote was "project Thanatos."

I wouldn't mind doing a heist, like I did for Nightingale and the Wasp.

A heist gone wrong, like a female reservoir dogs. There's an idea...
