Interested in participating in the Goodreads's Sword and Sorcery group? Click on the above link to join. Here is a starter's guide:
Be civil and leave your inner savage... is our group's mantra.
Who is there and why? Readers, authors,
illustrators, and editors discuss Sword & Sorcery books
and related media (movies, comics, blogposts, etc.).
Goodread guidelines: This group is a daughter of the parent Goodreads.com which has provided:
...and Guidelines for Authors:
Spamming / over zealous promotions: If
you decide to advertise, please do so at an appropriate frequency after reading
the S&S group guidelines
Discussions: Some confusion is normal for
new comers since we have parallel conversations going on simultaneously, and some
members bounce between them. Many conversations are spread out over years. Some
feedback:
1) Please do initiate conversations!
2) If possible, start conversations in a folder/thread
already dedicated to the topic....but don't worry too much. I suggest browsing
the ~14 top folders pretty much reveal where to go. Many times members will
spawn a deep discussion in the Currently Reading folder; then we try to
redirect people to dedicated areas
Here are links to some of the key folders:
Note the Search tool... in the right hand
side of the screen on the group homepage (above the moderator pictures); that
is an easy way to find books/authors/topics of interest to you
Groupreads are staggered: 2 months periods...and two
topics each. About half way thru, we'll poll to identify the topics for
the next period. Final results are emailed ~1week prior, but the polling
status can be seen on the group's homepage at anytime (bottom).
We never delete/archive discussions (Groupread topics or
otherwise), so many previous discussions are still available ... and its
perfectly fine to continue/resurrect those even if they are years old.
