Survivor Appendix E (5e) Authors- Ursula K. LeGWINS!

[Parmandur]

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.

The text for r Phantom Menace appears to have been improved by Brooks input.

His stories are OK I guess, and he produces professionally, unlike so me better writers. Just, from what I've read, sub-pulp quality.

An ironic choice for a downvote, considering that Lynch and Bear are married.

I’ve yet to actually read her work, but I keep meaning to. Maybe I’ll rectify that soon.

Bear, Elizabeth 16
Lynch, Scott 26

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.

I really dislike the idea of randomly choosing authors to downvote. It should not be too difficult to at least do a little research, a quick Google search to see if you recognize their work or if they have won awards or whatever.

Doesn't matter what awards they've won, if I've never read anything by each of six different authors they're all to me the same for these purposes. (truth be told, as are most of the rest remaining who I have read; there's only about two or three I'll upvote from here on as all the others I might have supported have long since been knocked out)

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

Nope!

This is the rule for voting here.

"1. 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."

Ah, missed that. Well then, this whole thread is a waste of my time. C'ya
