The Pharyngula Mutating Genre

BirdAnonymous has tagged me for The Pharyngula mutating genre meme. Now it’s a little confusing but I finally figured it out (bloody science student I suspect). She's one of my few Aussie bloggers so I can't refuse. I had a go last night but endured a brain bleed just reading the instructions. It was a little clearer this morning . . . so I'm having a bash never let it be said I am short of being a good sport!

There are a set of statements below that are all of the form:"The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is…". Copy the statements, you may modify them in a limited way, carrying out no more than two of these operations:

You can leave them exactly as is.
You can delete any one
You can mutate either the genre, medium, or subgenre of any one question. (this was the bit that confused my simple brain last night!)

For instance, you could change "The best time travel novel in SF/Fantasy is…" to "The best time travel novel in Westerns is…", or "The best time travel movie in SF/Fantasy is...", or "The best romance novel in SF/Fantasy is...".

You can add a completely new question of your choice to the end of the list, as long as it is still in the form "The best [subgenre] [medium] in [genre] is…". You must have at least one question in your set, or you've gone extinct, and you must be able to answer it yourself, or you're not viable.Then answer your possibly mutant set of questions. Please do include a link back to the blog you got them from, to simplify tracing the ancestry, and include these instructions.

Finally, pass it along to any number of your fellow bloggers. Remember, though, your success as a Darwinian replicator is going to be measured by the propagation of your variants, which is going to be a function of both the interest your well-honed questions generate and the number of successful attempts at reproducing them.
