Survivor Appendix N Authors- LEIBER WINS!

[Harzel]

Having read a bit about the remaining authors in the list whose work I haven't read, I am reluctant to downvote either them or the authors that I have read. Oh, well, as @lowkey13 might observe, no authors will be harmed in the making of this thread, so we must see this through to its bloody conclusion. It is our duty.

Burroughs, Edgar Rice 16
Carter, Lin 12
de Camp & Pratt 3
Dunsany, Lord 15
Leiber, Fritz 16
Merritt, A. 12
Offutt, Andrew J. 14
Pratt, Fletcher 10
St. Clair, Margaret 11
Tolkien, J.R.R. 14
Wellman, Manley Wade 14
Williamson, Jack 14
Zelazny, Roger 18

TLDR; Tolkien was certainly an influence. The amount of influence is in the eye of the beholder.

No, no, no. I can't believe you think that Tolkien influenced the eyes of beholders. Tolkien contributed nothing to beholders! My buddy Gary said so at least 14 times. Truly, you are an ignorant sod. And no, I won't stop calling you Truly.

P.S. For those of you who find Lord of the Rings too laborious, I suggest Bored of the Rings. I rather enjoyed it. Much shorter, and, in its own way, faster paced, at the expense, perhaps, of plot continuity.

New day, new votes...

Zelazny, Roger 14

I wasn’t going to vote Tolkien, but I feel like there’s too much spite down voting of him. Now down voting Zelazny... that’s because there is no way he should be on top, or even top three.

Lies! Elves have eyes, orcs have eyes, and dwarves have ayes! Sauron and Morgoth were both tyrants. Eye tyrants are completely founded on Tolkien!
