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.

I'm guessing the title of the MB. Legolas - 31/08/2009 06:28:13 PM 911 Views

Anything that you want to pimp, Elaine? Nobody pimps better than you do. *NM* Tashmere - 31/08/2009 09:37:30 PM 411 Views
Mr Elaine says he's the pimp, but never mind him and what he thinks. Elaine - 14/09/2009 01:37:22 PM 873 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 431 Views
