Terry Pratchett Quote of the Day:
“The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it.” - Monstrous Regiment

 

[Reynard]

Huh. There are no authors on the list I would feel okay down voting. I guess I will just watch it play out then...

 

[Nagol]

Alexander, Lloyd 23
Cook, Glen 20+1=21
Jemisin, N.K. 13-2=11
Kay, Guy Gavriel 17
LeGuin, Ursula 21
Lynch, Scott 16
McKillip, Patricia 20
Pratchett, Terry 19
Wolfe, Gene 19

And maybe that is also the case with Kay, I have only read his first book, maybe he grew up a bit too?

His first series, the Fionavar Tapestry, is pretty weak in my opinion. His later stuff is excellent. I particularly like The Lions of Al-Rassan (fictionalized medieval Spain) and a River of Stars (fictionalized Song dynasty in China). However, his name is indeed a mouthful and that alone can easily justify a down vote considering that the current list of survivors are all fantastic in different ways.

Alexander, Lloyd 24
Cook, Glen 20+1=21
Jemisin, N.K. 13-2=11
Kay, Guy Gavriel 17
LeGuin, Ursula 21
Lynch, Scott 15
McKillip, Patricia 20
Pratchett, Terry 19
Wolfe, Gene 19

It's hard to choose at this point, but I really like Alexander and Lynch is not as strong as some of the others to me, so went with those choices.

Kay, Guy Gavriel 17 - His name is pretty ridiculous to say out loud.

Yes! NOW you are voting with the right methodology!
