question about the orcs category Posted by Viv May 04, 2004 - 20:58:20 Topic ID# 404
Is the Orcs category just for orcs, or could it include other
baddies? For instance, where would tales about Sauron, Nazgul,
balrogs, etc. belong?

Good question. I didn't really anticipate we'd get enough of them to make a
viable category. In other words, I didn't figure we'd get at least 5 stories
by at least 2 different writers. Same for Maiar and Valar. I suppose the
first place to look is if they fit into one of the Time/Book topic's
categories: The Silm, The Hobbit, or LOTR. I saw those as pretty general
catch-alls. Otherwise, you might look at Genre. Is it horror, or drama,
for instance.

If one of those really doesn't work, I suppose the last resort would be Orcs
as the only resident bad guy category under Races and Places.
