I'm having a very hard time finding a list and examples of stylistic subgenre conventions. To be specific: **how genre writing impacts things like sentence length, dialogue, the tone of adjectives, pacing, etc.** I've found a few things in very broad strokes, but I'm looking for something specific. Not merely saying that mystery novels (for example) climax late, but deeper textual commonalities. **Any good resources?** I apologize if this is resource-seeking, but i simply can't find anything on this topic, but I'm sure there's info on it. I'm doing this because my project is genre bending, and while it hits an overall cyberpunk vibe, that gets jarring when other elements come in. I'm weaving elements of sci-fi, fantasy, horror and romance, and it's challenging to hit the right overarching tone that will be smooth to the reader. Thanks :-)
