That is a great list of names. Thanks for compiling it, Casey.

It was fun. (No, it wasn't :)
But it was satisfying. And it needed to be done.

Phil | 1457 comments Yes, thanks Casey! I started doing it myself but gave up after "D" because it was so tedious.

B was the hardest choice with Steven Brust and Jim Butcher being a virtual tie. M was also hard as Anne McCaffrey and Patricia McKillip, along with Andre Norton, were my gateway drugs into SF&F and I really enjoy Elizabeth Moon's books.

Darren An alphabetizing madness took me. I put John Irving in bold because although I am a large fan of his (Garp and Widow being my personal favourites) I wonder when has he written SF or fantasy?

Also moved Mary Robinette Kowal to K, where she belongs. There are a couple of names (Robert E. Howard and one other I forget) which Casey had listed twice, and so I just put a two beside them. Also added Aaron and Jon's from this page.
