Even though we have only five pages worth of threads in the Literature subforum, it still gets confusing. Here is a simple directory. Please post the name and links of thread here, and I will update the directory accordingly.

This will eventually be merged with the main Thread Index.

Please format new links to the first page of each thread like this:

• Ignore the &page=0#=1 bit in the URL, that just shows the page and post number; Also, don't copy the word "Literature" before the name of every thread, that just signifies the subforum it belongs to.
• A small description of what the thread does would be nice, but not necessarily required.

I zapped that complaint thread. It had already bred, so I got its offspring, too. We don't want complaint threads.

What was the complaint thread?

Could we get this stickied?

Worst movie to book and book to movie adaptations threads.

Author Specific: Getting Into Lovecraft

YAY! Finally someone contributed.

But just to clarify, you should submit your submissions in the following form:

(Use escape sequence tags around the URL, and quoteblock tags around the whole submission)

It makes it easier to upload on to the database, than a direct URL.

Also, nice touch with the "Author Specific" clarification.

Dang... you must have started this after I gave up on it. I know I haven't updated the anime/manga one in forever.

I would suggest giving it another go, but I don't think I'm willing to put that much effort into it at this time.

I have not given up, or I wouldn't have decided to become Literature herald in the first place. I am just busy with studies, I will continue updating it by myself when I get the time (maybe after session exams in December...).

However, others are more than welcome to participate.

Well, here I go: The Bartimaeus Trilogy

For some reason I'm really freaked at posting this. I just keep thinking: Somebody musta posted this already... When I've already searched the forum titles and looked through the Directory.

Added! Thank you for the submission.

Also, kindly follow the specified format, for future entries.

A couple more.

General:

Specific Author:

The first thread has been merged with another (remember, ONE recommendation thread!)

The second has been updated.

Well, I didn't make the first, but it seems like it might be nice to have a discussion thread about LGBT fiction, similar to the one we have for YA fiction.

(Speaking of the YA thread, you don't seem to have it yet)

As for the second, I did make that thread, and I hope this helps it get a little more attention, so thanks. :)

Updated. Also, that thread is still accessable, it has merely been shifted to a more appropriate subforum.

The Recommendations thread should be in the directory, regardless of its location. Because people ask for recommendations here.
