I've met many writers who would gladly throw a hissy fit if they found a link to their book on a list they didn't create. Believe me, I learned not to click or share that way. There is no way I would create a list of books online by other living people without their written permission. Classics, perhaps."


I must admit I don't usually bother with Listopia lists, but this "rule" is new to me. I thought the whole point was creating lists on a certain subject with books by many different authors (I thought lists of one author's works weren't even allowed?). I don't see why those authors should give permission first.

I myself have contributed to lists featuring f.e. books with people reading on the covers, on underrated children's books, etc.

ETA I don't know if librarians have the authority to delete Listopia lists, but in case they do, a link to those lists would help.

Listopia lists are community resources. They do not belong to any one user, including the person who added them.

Brent (brentatozzer) | 1 comments I just created one Listopia list too many, a false start on a better list, with a misspelling, that I corrected but when saved, started a second correct list.
How can I delete one of my own Listopia lists?

Rainbowheart | 125 comments Brent, I don't know that you can delete it per se, but if no one else has voted yet, just remove all your votes.

Please start new threads, rather than bumping related ones from years ago.
