I don't know why King is low, but despite good writing, Martin is an asshat that doesn't care about his fans.

That means these people are voting for the author and NOT the author's works. This invalidates the entire poll.

Thaaaaat's false. The rules clearly state:

"This is a pure popularity contest, and is meant to be fun. You can cast your votes for whatever reason you want. Spite, irrational love/hate, strategic voting, and hating all these authors because, dude, they are old ... that's fine! This vote does not affect anything in real life, and no authors will be removed from any future 6e appendix because of your vote. You can comment for the reasons for your vote, or not- up to you! But this is for enjoyment only."

So we can vote for any reason. Maybe I like one author's name, but not another author's name. Maybe I take exception that there are two Terry's on this list. That's as valid a reason as any to up or down vote.

Works aren't listed, authors are.

I especially liked the part where it became clear that Brooks, when discussing the Phantom Menace novelization, was one of the only people in the situation willing to give George Lucas serious push back on the story. Which was sad, since Brooks is not a good storyteller. I don't dislike him, I dislike his books.

Interesting, but the story of Phantom Menace wasn’t the problem, the text is great. The problem with it was the execution if the story, the texture is so bad that people can’t even see what a great story is being told in the film.

Which I think is what you are saying about Brooks, good Text, bad execution. Is that about right? I’ve never read him.

This also makes me realize that we need a Survivor Fantasy Film thread.

Upvote: Lynch, the only author left on this list whose work I've read and actually like.
Downvote: somewhat randomly chosen among the half-dozen or so authors remaining who I've never heard of.

No response from you, so I've fixed it.
