Three suggestions: I think it's better that "Old" is divided by author like it is now. And do away with Mental Illness. Also add Weird; if you're thinking of scaling down the number of categories, Weird will probably be necessary. There seems to be some misunderstanding. The categories I listed are the ones I think we need/ keep. All the other categories we get rid of.

To both your points: Mental Illness seems to be getting out of hand. Like Death. But I suppose it needs just a little more care.

That said, I think we should keep Poetry. It is its own writing format, so I'd figure it's pretty important. I'm on the fence with removing Ritual, too.

I suggest combing Space, Reality, and Science Pastas into one. They're pretty similar (maybe not Reality). Science Fiction, maybe?
