   One of the topics I'll be covering in the near future is why cross-genre writing is a strength.

     @jendiagammon Look forward to reading! I've been reflecting how many genres spend way too much time policing their boundaries. I've seen this in #Solarpunk a lot.
     It sometimes feels like well over half of the genre conversations are "Is X or Y Solarpunk?" with a furious clash of swords. It seems like cross-genre works can use the features of each one to create something new and exciting in the combination by playing off each's strengths. It can subvert expectations and create surprises!

     @seanbala @jendiagammon yeah, I was initially excited by the idea of solarpunk, but realised it doesn't quite fit my interests- I'm less interested in a concrete future than slightly different realities, less focus on technology etc- so I'll basically just stay away from the label since defenders seem pretty high-strung...lol
