Hurrah, it's begun already Elaine Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 06:43:28 PM
Am I the only one on this site that likes Historical fiction??
Why would we have scifi and not hf????


No, you definitely are not.

We have scifi and fantasy, because that's how the whole thing started - as a fantasy site.

I'm reading Sharon Kay Penman at the moment and enjoying it vastly.

Historical Fiction? Murtach74 - 31/08/2009 03:27:30 PM 1129 Views
Why would you make that assumption? Jacob - 31/08/2009 03:33:59 PM 861 Views
I'm guessing the title of the MB. Legolas - 31/08/2009 06:28:13 PM 779 Views

Anything that you want to pimp, Elaine? Nobody pimps better than you do. *NM* Tashmere - 31/08/2009 09:37:30 PM 367 Views
Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM 741 Views

just add HF as a "topic" for new posts, but keep it on this MB. Easy enough right? *NM* imlad - 01/09/2009 06:30:25 PM 375 Views
