Complexity rules


Curiously enough, everyone advances for roughly the same reason: complexity.

Wells over Doyle for defining sf vs defining one aspect of a genre.

Dickens over Austen for writing about the whole world vs one small aspect of the world.

King over Connelly for writing all kinds of books vs writing crime fiction.

Patterson over Sparks for variety vs love stories (and, to boot, no Miley Cyrus films).

BTW, it has been suggested by the Panivore that there be an N1 bracket. Why should I do this? The vast Nostrumian Nation should be assembling that one. It would give her something to do on her way to "Grease." No, wait. Grease was last weekend. This weekend it's Greece. I always get those two confused.
