The italics are ok, no worries. I do typos all the time.
I'm more on the light-side of sci-fi/fantasy, but as a kid my relatives thought that I was odd for liking it and a few kids at school tried to make jokes at my expense. I actually started in the supernatural horror genre then started picking up books with the same theme. Fairytale re-tellings are some of my favorites.
I think it takes a lot of creativity to be in the speculative fiction genre. My mom wasn't completely crazy about it, but tolerates my eccentricity after all these years.
I miss the glory days of the WB when they would roll out a new sci-fi/fantasy/horror show. Honestly, they had a more interesting mix than the bigger networks. I'm sure the CW would make a bigger killing going back to that, considering that Supernatural and Smallville are their two biggest shows. My friends and I were discussing that sci-fi/fantasy viewers are also the most loyal demographic to a show, which we think too many people underestimate (and the fact that it's generally the smarter end of the spectrum that watches too!).
