I'll third it. This would be a good category, though most in it would also fit one of the other categories.

Luffy 08-06-2015 02:57 AM

I second MUSIC.

Yes, let there be just one short stories category which could include any book of a collection of short stories be it all by one author or by multiple author and for the reason you mention. :thumbsup:

It will free up another category among the total of thirty limit as well. Run 'um all up the flag poll and see who salutes. :D

Third War. Nominate Stage (ie plays).

Just waiting to hear from kyteflyer then.

ccowie 08-06-2015 08:52 AM

I'll third Music

and nominate Feminist Fiction

John F 08-06-2015 09:04 AM

I'll third Fan Fiction (what the heck :)).

WT Sharpe 08-06-2015 09:13 AM

And that makes 30. Short Stories remains uncombined into one category, as I never heard from the last nominator.

The nominations are now closed.

Poll coming later today.

WT Sharpe 08-06-2015 10:06 AM

The Poll is here. It is multiple choice and visible. It will remain open for one week in order to ensure everyone's voice is heard.

Please no to plays. They read really poorly.

It's too late, which is too bad. I love plays.

Some of the most important and some of the most flatly enjoyable works (the two are not mutually exclusive) in the English and other languages are plays. Most people by dint of location, time, and available funds, would only be able to see a fraction. Why should such a richness be closed to them?

I'm sorry that you've never enjoyed reading a play.

I agree, I've often enjoyed reading a play. Though I used to do it far more in the past than I have recently.

WT Sharpe 08-06-2015 08:14 PM

I would like to have seen Stage in the poll as well. Maybe next year.
