Hi there!

I'm a veteran forumite, but new to this forum. Mea culpa^x for not having found it earlier!

Just wondering what the criteria are for adding (and subtracting?) authors from the list of authors with individual forums?

I see that 93 of the authors have never attracted a comment, yet the list doesn't contain a number of authors whom I would consider worthy of inclusion in a list of important writers. Some of them are even popular writers!

Cheers!

Welcome to LitNet :)

The criteria for Authors in the Index (http://www.online-literature.com/author_index.php) are that they have works in the public domain (published pre-1923) (although there are many more on the list to be added) so get their own forums.

Current authors can be discussed in the General Literature forums (http://www.online-literature.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4)

Cheers.

Plus, I recognise that it isn't a small job!

You've certainly developed a marvellous resource. I'm annoyed that I'd never heard of it earlier.
