Open Question Wednesday #8
Not a question per se...
Invent a subgenre of science fiction or fantasy. Give it a name and include a brief description of it. Here's one to get y'all started.
Picklepunk
Any story that features pickles. They may be characters, objects, the crux of the plot, or even the setting. Most picklepunk stories are about pickled cucumbers, but other foodstuffs have appeared in picklepunk stories, such as pickled ginger, pickled eggs, etc. There is some debate in the picklepunk community whether pickling animals or humans really fits into the spirit of the genre.

Shadowpunk
Or, if you're tired of the whole "punk" moniker, perhaps neo-noir?
Meh. Been done. Add clowns. Shadowclownpunk. Now THAT could be interesting.
