        They’re totally different.

        Greektasy has steamy romance with inconveniently attractive brooding werewolf-pire enemies-to-lovers plotlines, whereas Romantasy has the same thing with a different name.

      Joke’s on me, I don’t like romantasy either. I like my fiction to be philosophy disguised as magic and spaceships.

      Romance is what sells though, and I’m glad something sells to keep authors around writing my pensive wankery.

      I did toy with the idea of writing the chapter long smut pieces I see around. Then decided I would have to devote more time than I want to devote to smut to do it right and not scam people.
