Jaimie-J, what do you mean hosted..?^^;; It's (one of) Del's site(s). :B;
To be honest, I really think that I'm capable of mixing humor and drama, or at least, that's what I try to do...if asked, I wouldn't know whether Clarity or Claris is the more dramatic of my two most worked on series, since they both have serious parts... although a lot of their story is focused on weird, hopefully-amusing stuff as well. XD; I also don't know which is easier. I think they're both fairly difficult to do well: everyone has different ideas of what is funny and what is not funny, and when you're trying to be funny, you just have to hope your sense of humor appeals to your audience.
But poorly done drama can get ugly. Drama that is overdone and squirming and all over the place has the power to make me physically ill, while comedy that is not funny will just make me roll my eyes and move on with my life.
Speaking of poorly done drama (XB;), I finished the draft of my Zim story...that is, it's all handwritten in my notebook. I'm debating on whether or not to go through the work of typing it up and editing it, because it is indeed very depressing and probably one of the few stories I've ever written in which the ending is not all that happy. Another thing I like about Zim is that while it's obviously intended to be light hearted (though in a dark, disturbing kind of way), the potential for seriousness remains, especially in the exploration of Zim and Dib's obvious psychological issues. o__o; Zim seems to suffer from massive delusions of grandeur, and what I wrote is just what could happen if he allowed them to dissolve (nothing violent or showy, don't get any hopes up^^;).
Of course, I could just be over analyzing, but that's what makes fanfiction fun. :3
