[edit] Tamora Pierce

Does it seem like Tamora Pierce has way too many novels on this list for an author of her standing? She has neither the popular or critical acclaim of the vast majority of authors on this list.

Just so. Indeed, there is a fair bit of EFP and like sludge here. But it is difficult if not impossible to strike listings once placed without starting terrible rounds of recriminations and vituperation. The best alternative is simply to add better works by better authors. Owlcroft 08:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Tower

Shouldn't the Dark Tower series by Stephen King be on here? --Endlessmug 00:14, 13 October 2006 (UTC)Endlessmug

Is it fantasy, science fiction, or horror? Sci-fi has its own list, and if horror doesn't, then maybe you should start it. If it is fantasy, though, then go ahead and add it. MamaGeek (talk/contrib) 01:58, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alice Novels

Are the Alice novels really appropriate for this list, and if so, should not the Leven Thumps series be added also? Sporks.Are.Loverly 17:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)Sporks.Are.Loverly

[edit] Discworld Series

I typed in the entirety of the currently existing Discworld series; feel free to delete my change if you find it necessary. 139.55.19.51 00:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)Sporks.Are.Loverly

[edit] Dark Series

Shouldn't the Dark Series by Christine Feehan be on here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by YouWantThis (talk • contribs) 14:44, 26 October 2007 (UTC) On Another Topic, I think that there are too many 'science fiction' type novels on here, and not enough traditional fantasy novels. Could it be possible, for the sake of purists/perfectionist/black and white no grey/ type people, if you could put more actual fantasy novels on this page-It would be fabulous! Also, you might want to remove some very obviously science fiction novels from this page. Perhaps, soemone can explain what the difference between sci-fi and fantasy is, I can tell the difference, but being able to explain it is quite another story. Thank You, and a bigger thank you if you can fix the problem! 71.130.237.63 19:00, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Theodore from California.

Wikipedia's fair use policy does not allow use of copyright images in list articles such as this one where there is no 'discussion'. The pictures just make the article 'pretty' and that is not enough to meet WP:FU. -- The Red Pen of Doom 02:54, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
