You probably need to actually make a case, snoopcester Send a noteboard - 01/09/2009 12:08:19 PM
Beyond "I want x"

If you get regular discussions about historical fiction going and a steady flow of reviews and interviews then you'd be in a very good position to push for a board for it to be on.

When the only post about historical fiction is a demand that a board be set up, it doesn't make a serious case for people to take that demand seriously.

Henning Mankell "We must defend the open society, because if we start locking our doors, if we let fear decide, the person who committed the act of terror will win"
