Authors: How do you pick which genre when your novel blends with multiple genres and relies on different elements from each?

For example, mine has speculative, horror, thriller, and dystopian elements with a romantic subplot.

On TikTok, I host Flash Fiction Friday where you get a word, a genre, & setting to write a 100 word story in 20 mins.

This week's prompts are:
Word - whisper
Genre - speculative
Setting - remote island
