Each Month, we will choose a new author to use as a Forum Competition. We would like everyone who reads this to either post their top 5 - 10 Favorite authors on this thread or via PM to one of the Mods.
At the end of the month, we will choose another author to have a Trivia Competition on. We will lock the previous month's competition until it's turn in the rotation comes back around.
Currently, we have SRL Trivia which will happen each month. Tolkien Trivia has been locked for a few months, and we are currently running the C. S. Lewis Trivia.
Help us choose the next author for October's Trivia Competition.

Seeing as how the lists above contain several authors I have thoroughly enjoyed, I'll simply second those ideas.
George MacDonald
Madeleine L'Engle
Anne McCaffrey
And a new interest...

I just want to encourage everyone who hasn't submitted a list that this poll is on-going and not dead.
Your choices are still relevant, and we need some tiebreakers to choose for December.
Please, if you haven't submitted a list, do so.

We should do a Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Month! Unfortunately, we didn't receive enough interest in that author. Madeline L'Engle is up next.  |
