Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Forums

This is a great list of collections and I'd love to eventually get them all added to the site but the issue is, as it has always been, finding time to collect and input the data for so many books!  We given thought to adding a best collection/anthology award to the site but we've only just scratched the surface of the novels so far so we're putting that on the back burner for now.

Currently we're working on separating out Horror from Fantasy and bumping up our coverage there by including the Stoker Award.  This is a pretty major project in itself because we have to revamp our sub-genres, create a list of horror subs, re-tag all the horror books that we've got, add a significant number of new horror books and authors, create the Stoker award page, add a Horror Favorites list to My World, update the search feature to include the new genre and subs, update the content site-wide to include Horror like in the main header etc. etc. etc.

After that, we've got the Mythopoetic Award to finish up (80 more books), a YA award list (where we're particularly weak) plus a few other best of lists in various stages.  We have a host of new member features in the works like dynamic list sorting, custom list creation, quick view so you can tag a book straight off the awards and lists pages, member data input interface etc. all while updating the existing site code while we prepare to move the site to a new service wherupon we'll be replacing the forum and blog software with something more user friendly and modern.

I hope that doesn't come across as too bitchy or anything.  We love the member input and we always strive to get those features and content in that you guys ask for.  All of that is to illustrate how our "to do" list is just never ending and our stupid day jobs continue to get in the way.  Collections/anthologies are something that I'm particularly interested in so I'll add a few here and there as I can but it'll be some time before I can get your whole list done - but we'll get there.  For now, you can cross off the Hal Clement collection - we've already got that set at least.  I really like the stuff coming out of NESFA like the Zelazny collection so I'm keen to get more of their stuff loaded up.

Thanks for the great list and for your interest in WWEnd. You've given us some great ideas in the past and I have no doubt you'll have more in future. Keep 'em coming but don't get mad if we can't get 'em right away. 

Oh yeah, you guys are awesome!  I like that you want more out of WWEnd.  It means you like what we're doing and you want it to be better still just like we do.  Some of the best ideas have come from our members and we try to roll them out as fast as we can.  In fact, a good many of the features I listed above are member requested upgrades.

It's important to us that you know you have a say in how the site grows and evolves.  It really is your site too and that's why I like to keep you guys in the loop on what we're working on.
