scifan.com: Listing of books by theme

mdin · Apr 30, 2005

A while back I had inquired about this website, but no one could remember the URL. I found it.

This website really rules because it lists 10s of thousands of fantasy/sci-fi books by theme, which makes it really easy to locate books you're interested in. I just went and ordered like five books that have the same general theme as my wip. Anyway, here it is:

Wow, that site is awesome. Thanks much for the link.

Well.....

I looked myself up, and under themes they list "urban fantasy". None of my books are by any stretch of the imagination urban fantasy. Other themes that my books do have (religion, parallel universes, magic vs. technology) aren't listed. So I wonder how accurate a lot of the theme groupings are.

It seems kinda cool, but I wonder how they got the info. Did the publisher supply it?

I think they get their info from reader submissions, which explains the multitude of self-published books on the lists. If something is wrong, readers are encouraged to email and have them correct it.

They had my book on there, but no synopsis, so I sent them one. They had already chosen all the categories, and it's mostly accurate.
