Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Forums

Hello, burninglove, and welcome to WWEnd!

I'm so happy you found us and that you're diggin' the site.  WWEnd is really just a giant recommendation engine when you get right down to it.  The awards and lists help you narrow your choices down and then you can use all the tools on the site like synopsis, excerpt, member ratings and reviews etc. to whittle things down even further.  Our goal is to help you find the good stuff and our members are passionately interested in doing the same for each other so you've come to the right place.

Member submitted content is a subject near and dear to my heart but we have a ton of improvements of all kinds on our list in front of it at the moment.  When we do get to it, it's going to be a custom CMS with a review and release function so as members add books we can add the necessary cover images etc. and ensure everything is up to standard.  You guys are a picky lot when it come to the facts and we'd not have it any other way

At this time we won't be picking up on it until after WorldCon at the very earliest.  We have a number of features and improvements in the works that we're trying to wrap up before we head to Chicago.

Thanks for your interest in helping us build our database.  The more people keep asking for this feature the quicker it will move up the priority list!

Cheers!

Hey chuhl, a hearty welcome to you too!  We love seeing new members jumping right in.  One of the best things about the GMRC is that it's a managable reading challenge that you can come into late in the year and still be able to catch up.  Sounds like you are ready to get stuck in!

We get book requests all the time so please don't hesitate to chime in with yours.  I just created a new book request thread so head on over and add yours to the list.  GMRC books get top priority so you can tag them for your challenge.

Cheers!

Can't find the book you want? Make your book requests here!

Hey Fried Egg,

We have a specific thread for making author and book requests for the WoGF.

Post your authors over there and we'll put them on our to do list.  If you have one you want to read right away let us know and we'll move them up in priority.  We've got around 60 authors on the list right now and we're pluggin' away as fast as we can.

I did notice and I'm glad you taking an interest in so many threads!

We are working towards allowing members to input books so know that it's coming.  When is another matter entirely.  We have made some progress but it goes in fits and starts as we have time and often gets derailed.  It will be a great new feature to introduce and is right up at the top of my wish list.

Bete - 2013-08-06 7:48 PM I'd be more than happy to scan and input books/authors as well! It feels so strange to not be able to add all of Steven Brusts's work to my profile.

Yeah, that project has stalled a bit unfortunately.  Work is kicking our asses right now so not much energy or desire to do more coding at this point.  It'll settle down eventually and we'll get back on it.

I'm really surprised that we don't have Steven Brust on the site yet!  I've read some of his books and quite liked them.  I'll put him on the to-do list.
