With its intimate notebook voice, fragmented memories, and morally ambiguous teens, it feels miles away from the formulaic dramas that dominate most online fiction.

There was no other way of posting this. I need to inform my readers that I had to change the genre of my novel from Realistic Fiction to Science Fiction. In Realistic Fiction you need to hover around reality like you write about a cancer patient and how he combats his health issues arising due to chemotherapy etc. This is close to reality. You cannot deviate to extremely imaginative situations. Realistic Fiction for did not give me much scope for my novel. Earlier, I could not change the genre but I finally managed to do so from Realistic Fiction to Science Fiction with the help of the mobile app. Now, I can write about many things which may not be possible now but may be possible in the future. If matter is truth, I do mention in the creator's notes.
