Question of the day

[james_davis_nicoll]

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.

That being said, I think that SF readers being who we often are this question will likely be debated on the grounds, "Should the definition of this term properly apply to that thing?"

Probably the more fruitful debate would be, "Does SFWA have anything to offer writers of comic books and graphic novels, and would adding those writers benefit other members of SFWA?"
