Well, for me personally, those categories are the only ones I would be strong in. 70% of what i read would be in those categories. There are currently 6 categories where I can't think of a single thing that I have read that would qualify, and I'm a bit (well, LOT) concerned that I will misrepresent myself with those picks. I'm hoping to trade/mulligan those.
I appreciate there are genres that people want included, and they should be; there are more than a few people who will benefit from seeing what is picked. I'm just not sure how to handle them.
