Farewell. I will always fondly remember Chaosium's take on the world of Elric.

Wow.

The one time I voted in this thread, it was to upvote Moorcock.

I can actually kind of understand Lovecraft and Howard going out early in this day and age (though I dearly love them both) -- but Moorcock?

Brilliant and pioneering writer of "genre" fare (forget the alignment system, without him there would be no "planar" D&D at all and certainly no Spelljammer) AND "literary" fiction (no one remaining on this list has received such accolades from the literati, arguably including Tolkien; cf. Mother London's Whitbread Prize nom and The Condition of Muzak's Guardian Prize win).

I'm baffled.

Dont be baffled.

The list of people who have actually read about Elric and Stormbringer, Erokose, Tanelorn etc is shrinking day by day.

Times they be a changing...

All I know is I’ve read dozens upon dozens of fantasy books. I’ve never heard of anyone on this list but Tolkien. I’ve heard of a few of their characters, but none of the authors.

That is called the Test of Time. You can be the greatest author in history, but if newer generations don’t pick you up and read your works, your work has not stood the rest of time.

Tolkien’s has. Out of everyone on this list, Tolkien’s work has stood the test of time.
