Why would you make that assumption? Jacob Send a noteboard - 31/08/2009 03:33:59 PM
I know that many people enjoy Historical Fiction. I'm not quite certain what it is that you are suggesting. Do you want to see a Historical Fiction MB, or a Historical Fiction category?

RAFO is at its heart a Sci-fi and Fantasy website, so it makes sense that those genres are featured. Currently, this MB is intended for the discussion of all books, except for Wheel of Time books, which has its own MB.

Feel free to post about Historical Fiction as a Review or as Other Literature. If you're looking for recommendations, I'm sure that I have a few authors and many titles to share.

If you look at the categories before posting you see that there are more options than just SF/F *NM* Rebekah - 31/08/2009 06:30:39 PM 432 Views

Anything that you want to pimp, Elaine? Nobody pimps better than you do. *NM* Tashmere - 31/08/2009 09:37:30 PM 442 Views
Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM 950 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 460 Views
