Question of the day

Should SFWA consider opening membership to writers of comic books and graphic novels?

[Wow, that was a dull way to frame that. Please add "Why or why not?]

Inspired by a discussion on one of the blogs that I read regularly, which I will not name for the moment so that people will not run over there and have their reactions influenced by the discussions that have already occured.

Great idea, if you convince the competing egos to merge as well. Oh, former RWA members would just adore having Andrew Burt telling them that he's their newest representative.

Indeed, there are many more people eager to preside over various sets of ruins than there are ready to do the unsexy work of harmonization and unification, but after the current crop of orgs collapse into black holes of their own irrelevancy, there will be room for a more inclusive org to emerge.

Oh god. I have enough nightmares about RWA without adding *that* one.
