Dammit, FFN, stop copying Fanlib! They suck. I hate their stupid graphics and stupid extra text in URLs and stupid fanfic-only categories and wtf is "family"? Since when is that a genre and how soon can it stop being one? STOP IT.
To quote: "Western, Crime, Family, Hurt/Comfort, and Friendship"
The latter three are phrases that go in summaries in a sane world.
The only ones that are legitimate genre categories are really the first two, and those don't apply to most/all fanfic because they're about a specific subset of stories that has requirements for plot, setting, characters and tone.

Basically, they're unnecessary and annoying me.

I've always found the genre designation pretty useless, but that could just be me.
