An Unfamiliar Street: TG & Noir?

Alchemical Night · 12-19-2021

Hello there,

Friends, it's been a while since I last posted to the process - and indeed, to this forum - though, recently, a thought occurred to me and I mused that it might prove interesting for those here.

Given that the history of TG fiction online now spans some twenty years and more, and that it has come to embrace a whole sweep of different genres and themes - though popularly settling on the magical, alternative and pseudo-scientific - a recent kick into the Noir genre (Raymond Chandler etc), aroused a question, which could be interesting if brought to the world of TG TF fiction.

Thinking now, how do those here feel the Noir genre could be mingled with the more popular or prevalent themes of TG TF fiction, and what might come of it, if the idea proved more interesting to the community at large?

A notion that came to me, as I poured myself a drink, listening to some nice noir jazz

.

Thanks again,

Alchemical Night.
