New Forums for other authors? - The Library

Post by **kevinswatch** » Thu Jul 31, 2003 2:20 am

Don't look at me, blame Sky for asking me, heh.

Anyway, yeah, I set up a section for Forums for other authors you may wish to talk about. Apparently there was a request for a J.K. Rowling Forum from Tuvor. Now, I still don't know about the idea, but I decided to go ahead with it. I guess it's no problem if people want to talk about some of the bigger fantasy series in their own forum. What do you all think? I can probably expand the Library to include a few more authors, but I don't want to get crazy with it.-jay

I approve. We're bound to discuss other authors from time to time, and having a designated forum stops things getting too messy

What he said.

So...will it be used...or not? If you all don't need to post there, if it's just a redundant version of the General Fantasy Forum, then I can just take it down, Heh.-jay

It's a good idea. I think people are just hesitant about being the first to post a new thread.

I would post there because I read a lot of non-fantasy books. However, I don't happen to be reading one right now!

I think the Gen Fantasy forum is where we should dicuss other authors. For instance, there are two successful Harry Potter/Rowling threads in there, while there isn't a single post in the new Rowling Forum.

Correction, there is.

A Rowling forum?

Can I moderate the Muppet Babies forum? Oh damn, someone might make good on that . . . *RUNS*

*whines annoyingly* What about a Barbara Hambly forum?

Lawd, even I, internet challenged as I am, could handle that...

I second the notion of a BH forum. (Though I have no interest in moding)

Notice, my sig is from The Silicon Mage.

Me loves that book.

I still think The Library makes no sense when we have Gen Fantasy.

Depends whether or not the authors under discussion are General Fantasy authors...

The thing about Gen Fant is it's a big mish-mash (part of its charm, imo). It's pretty hard to pin down a specific post about a specific author. Also, Cov. Jr is correct in that sci-fi tends to get the short end of the stick.

In fact, I'll even head a thread on Gene Wolfe, if needed.

I'd mod a 4rum on David Zindell and Neverness but I already have an entire ezboard set up 4 that purpose...and other authors...

Come on, caam, you don't have to be reading one right now!

Who's your favorite author? I'll be glad to post about Ayn Rand and Hermann Hesse if anybody knows how to make forums for them.

So re-name the forum Gen Literature like I did on my board. Last time I checked, KW was an SRD website, not JK Rowling, etc.

I could champion a forum on Anne Rice, Stephen Lawhead or David Gemmell, though of the three, Gemmell is my forte, and he's firmly fantasy...
