Not really. But if you can dig up the famous last words (what does this button do?) from scifi movies I would be happy.
International disaster, gonna be a blaster
Gonna rearrange our lives
International disaster, send for the master
Don't wait to see the white of his eyes
International disaster, international disaster

Seems a bit of an over-fine distinction, but... :dunno:

Two broad grouping, SciFi and Fantasy. Mixed genre goes into the forum that covers it best, coin flip allowed.

Subforums, like Series, Thud and Blunder, Alien Worlds, etc.

Just an umbrella grouping. Fine tuning as the forum develops. We could have an "other literature" subforum, with grouping for mystery, romance, etc., as appropriate.

We'd have "To the Screen" forum for books that were made into films.

I wish those were identified with the films they were from.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

Is there enough to warrant that type of parsing out, though? Seems like you'd end up with a whole slew of subforums with only a thread or two in them.

(I don't really care one way or another, btw, but it seems a little unnecessary)

You want your forum to cover books and movies though. So stick under the arts.

It would be expanded as necessary. Early on, just two subforums. SciFI and Fantasy.
