Location: The Wilds of Washington		You have Brian Aldiss' Frankenstein Unbound in the database already, so I thought maybe his Dracula Unbound should be in here as well. Companion books. I'm sure someone could use it for one of the challenges.

The WoGF disappeared from your list because you've got all 12 spots filled already with other books.  You'll have to take one off your list to make room for Jirel of Joiry.

The OP says authors that are in the database only, but the author of my favorite fantasy novel ever - who's quite well-established - is missing. What do I do?

You can make your request here and when the administrator can he/she adds it to the data base. I gather there are many requests and it may take a little time. I also read somewhere that the process may change soon, to allow users to add to the data base.

Thanks!

My request is for Alma Alexander, fantasy writer - books she's written include The Secrets of Jin-Shei, Embers of Heaven, The Hidden Queen, Changer of Days, the Worldweavers series (Y/A), Midnight in the Spanish Gardens, and I'm probably missing a few.

I second updating the listing for Judith Tarr. I was going to read Lady of Horses for the WoGF, since I own a "dancing white horse," but it wasn't in the database.

Location: Neither here...nor there		Lyhhrt Trilogy by Phyllis Gotlieb (Flesh and Gold, Violent Stars, Mindworlds)

The Canadian spec fic award is named for Gotlieb's novel Sunburst. There really should be a more comprehensive listing of her works in the WWEnd database, imo. (It would be great to have the Sunburst as one of the awards on WWEnd, also.)
