Re: Genre suggestion/request
I think this would be a great addition. I know I've seen plenty of stories here that, while falling under other categories, would definitely fit under a "dark" genre. People who like to read twisted, dark items could more easily find them this way, without sifting through dozens of other items.

Some might argue that dark is the same as horror/scary, but I'd have to disagree; dark writing isn't necessarily horror, it's just, well, dark. Not light. Maybe an ending that isn't happy, but isn't scary; perhaps vampires, but not ones that are vicious killers, etc.

Just my two cents on the idea.
