As for why there's not a subforum on him... this has been said about other writers: We need at least 5 active threads on the man and his work in order to merit a subforum. If you can get such going, then he'll have one. It took a devil of a long time to get Asimov, Niven, and several others that sort of distinction; C. S. Lewis still doesn't have it.
So... start threads discussing his work; see how many people join in the discussion, how active they remain... and hope..... |
Hm, ok. I can understand why C.S. Lewis still doesn't have a subforum, but I'd think Silverberg would have a bigger chance to have it than Niven, but there you go.
