For something like creative writing? I read that give Mercury/Neptune make good writers. But what about the hard aspect?
Mercury-Neptune contacts are excellent for writing. I think even the hard aspects are good, but maybe not for logical texts! I have however, noticed that many Mercury-neptune individuals, have a really hard time finishing a Project, or even work on real Projects, so the ability to write might go unnoticed to the World. Mercury-Neptune are pathological daydreamers and escapists, really. They can disappear into their own fantasy Worlds and sometimes they don't manage to get out. Some grounding influence of Saturn might be required to keep them on the ground. Stephen King has Mercury-Neptune conjunct, but sextile to Saturn, giving his talent structure and potential for lasting achievements. I have seen, among many professional writers, even writers who have been scientific authors, having Mercury-Neptune contacts, yet there seem to be a Saturnian contact as well
Mercury trine Uranus is also a good aspect for writing, not necessarily for novels or so, but natives with Mercury trine Uranus are often able to write in their own, unique way that may be very attractive to others. They can often come up with new, original words and ways to express themselves. A friend of mine had this aspect and he wrote in a very unique way, and came up with new smileys all the time, and new different jokes and ways of expressing himself.
Examples:
Stephen King; Mercury conjunct Neptune, Mercury sextile Saturn
Ernest Hemingway; Mercury trine Saturn, Mercury square Uranus, Mercury sextile Neptune
I love to write, I have an extremely well aspected Mercury. But even with harmonious aspects, the malefics sometimes exercise an evil influence. I write for fun but will most likely never be able to do anything professional with it - I cannot focus. My Mercury is not receiving any stabilizing aspects unfortunately.

I feel you.
I have Mercury sextile Neptune. Also Mercury quintile Uranus and Mars. Sadly, no Saturn aspect though, so I can hardly focus. my thoughts and ideas can sometimes overwhelm me. They often come in really fast and chaotic. I list down all of these ideas (for creative writing) in a notebook so it would seem more organized, but the biggest problem I have here is that these ideas will be ideas FOREVER. I almost never finish my projects (finished two so far, lol) and I can see the potential here, but I don't think It could really benefit me as a career. I'd rather have it as a hobby. Now though, I use it for songwriting.
I also have Jupiter tightly conjunct my 3rd house angle since it is already at the end of my 2nd house, but Jupiter is retrograde. Jupiter also trines my Mercury, but its rather loose.
AppLeo mentioned Virgo as the sign for writing as well. Mercury in Scorpio is tightly quintile my Mars in Virgo. Mars also trines my ascendant. Not only that, Jupiter near the 3rd house sextiles my asxendant too. It's no wonder I've always been drawn to expressing my creativity and imagination through words. I also think Gemini can do this, but maybe not so much on writing fiction. I have a friend who is a Gemini, and she's always participated in journalism contests in our school.
What other aspects can contribute to creative writers adapting different genres? I'm a mix of Tragedy, Romance, Fantasy and Science fiction. Are there specific aspects for that? If not, then signs?

Take for example, the director of The Matrix; Lilly Wachowski. Matrix is everything that Uranus loves.
Her chart ruler is Pluto, and it is conjuncted by Uranus. Her Sun and Mercury are square to Uranus, and her Moon is quintile it; indicating a talent ready for development. Venus is sextile Uranus; her creative art form was innovative, technological and eccentric. Uranus is also located in its own house; the 11th house. She has Mars in Aquarius.
Sci-fi geeks and everyone who is very interested in technology, "weird stuff" and innovation are very likely to have strong Uranus/Aquarius in the chart.
Now I understand why I really like Stephen King lol.
Misery is my favorite book by him.
