Gen totally counts, but I'd love specifics abut what kind of gen you like! I have this thing where sometimes having a plot makes it easier for me to write a romance story... I do go for romance most of the time, but I also have a weird habit of writing woman-centric gen? That I might not actually read if I found it in the wild, but I love exploring it and I think I'm good at it. It's one of those weird 'love writing it, but eh on reading it' things. So I share your telepathy thing but with gen, I guess.
Canon-divergence AUs are awesome. I'm so, so picky about full-on AUs (like, different professions, different backstory) but I love a good fork in the road. I want canon to go in different ways so many times that 80% of my requests for exchanges qualify as AU, in the canon divergence sense. And when I wrote more, I used to find fusions so much fun! I think that's another one I prefer to write over read, because I like contemporary universe fiction and because fusions often get a little... out of hand (too close to the second canon in unbelievable ways). When someone does it well, it is so good, though.
edit: just find it funny that I've written like three novel-length stories and one is gen with vampires and two are fusions. LOL.
