Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Paul Farquhar]

Most talented toddler in all of literature!

As I said in my original post, the dates are for when they where published, not birth and death. Reading up on Stanley Weinbaum, his story is sad. He published a story that was at the time highly acclaimed, then died of cancer shortly after.

I'm not sure what he has to do with D&D though - his story was science fiction, not fantasy.

Leiber, Fritz 19
Merritt, A. 18
Offutt, Andrew J. 16
Pratt, Fletcher 12
St. Clair, Margaret 18
Tolkien, J.R.R. 17 - time people read something else
Weinbaum, Stanley 8
Wellman, Manley Wade 16
Williamson, Jack 18
Zelazny, Roger 20 - best of those left alive. Not as good as Moorcock though. Moorcock is the only one who is still alive in RL though, so I guess that makes him the real winner!

That Tolkein, even after this upvote, is still only tied for third-highest is a complete travesty. The only battle here should be for who winds up as his last remaining challenger, with him comfortably ahead by 20 or 30 or 40 points.

And my downvote tonight goes to yet another of these names I've never heard of...

In the parallel universe where he didn't die of cancer aged 33 Stanley Weinbaum wrote the greatest fantasy epic of all time.
