This RFD is being cross posted to rec.arts.sf.written, rec.arts.books, rec.arts.sf.announce, rec.arts.sf.misc, and news.announce.newgroups.  Discussion of this RFD is to take place in news.groups.  NAME:   rec.arts.books.robert-jordan  STATUS: Unmoderated  One line description for the List of Active Newsgroups:  rec.arts.books.robert-jordan - Discussion of SF writer Robert Jordan  RATIONALE:  For the last several months, a significant proportion of the traffic in rec.arts.sf.written has been concerned with various discussions relating to the works of Robert Jordan.  The large amount and consistency of the Robert Jordan discussions would tend to indicate that there is a need for a group specifically related to the author's works.  The proposed placement of the group is in the rec.art.books hierarachy, which juxtaposes it with rec.arts.books.tolkien, the group that is dedicated to the discussion of the works of the fantasy writer J.R.R. Tolkien.  PROPOSED CHARTER:  rec.arts.sf.jordan is a forum for the discussion of all issues relating to the works of the SF author Robert Jordan.  Discussions of other authors and works should be limited to how they relate to the works of Robert Jordan.  TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:  The placement of the group:  As mentioned, the placement of the group has precedent, as the tolkien group is also below rec.arts.books on the hierarchy.  However, the group could also be placed in the rec.arts.sf.* hierarchy, or even directly below rec.arts.sf.written.  Interested parties should discuss the best place for the group to reside (rec.arts.books.robert-jordan,  rec.arts.sf.robert-jordan, rec.arts.sf.written.rober-jordan, or other).  The name of the group:  An alternate name for the group might be rec.arts.books.jordan; which is preferred?  PROCESS:  The normal  group creation guidelines will be followed.  Discussion will continue for 30 days from this posting, and after that, a Call for Votes (CFV) will be posted if appropriate.

CHARTER  rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan will be an unmoderated newsgroup for the general discussion of books written by contemporary author Robert Jordan (actually a pseudonym for James Rigney).  In particular, this newsgroup will be concerned with his ongoing "Wheel of Time" series, but will also cover past and future works by him.   BACKGROUND  Robert Jordan's books have been discussed daily on rec.arts.sf.written for more than two years, and the traffic due to these discussions has been quite substantial at times.  I have measured traffic for the period of 5/1/94 - 5/31/94 and counted a weekly average of 1027 articles on rec.arts.sf.written received at my site, of which an average 212 per week have directly concerned Robert Jordan's series, and 20 per week (average) concerned various discussions and flamewars related to moving the Robert Jordan traffic elsewhere.  I can personally vouch (but without hard numbers) that traffic has at times been much higher than this.  I estimate that it exceeded two thirds of a 150+ message/day stream for several months last fall, following the release of Robert Jordan's latest book.   RATIONALE  Even 200 messages per week (a low- to average level of Robert Jordan traffic I've observed over the past ten months) is clearly substantial enough to warrant a separate newsgroup.  The resulting decrease in rec.arts.sf.written traffic will also be a boon to all who read the group; many have voiced concerns that traffic is too high and that much of the Robert Jordan discussion is fairly particular to the books, and thus (arguably) not entirely appropriate to rec.arts.sf.written.  Prior to launching this RFD, I conducted a straw poll in the group rec.arts.sf.written, asking who would support the creation of the proposed group, and who would oppose it.  Of the 141 votes I received, 125 said they'd support it and 16 said they'd oppose it.  Adequate support exists to make this RFD and (later) CFV viable.  Indeed, the Robert Jordan fans on r.a.sf.w have practically formed their own subgroup already.  For more than a year they have maintained their own Robert Jordan FAQ, which includes contributions from over 100 people.  Mailing lists have been formed on Internet, AOL, and other networks.  One concern that will inevitably be raised with this proposal is that this group deals with a single author.  Specifically, the concerns are short- and long-term sustainability: will there be enough traffic to warrant the group; and will this traffic last, or is it just a fad? I've already shown (and any r.a.sf.w reader can attest) that there is sufficent traffic today to warrant a separate newsgroup, and there has been for almost two years.  The series of books currently discussed will not be finished for at least another two years (based on word >from the author and his publisher), and discussion will certainly not stop with the release of the final book in the series.  Robert Jordan will continue writing after that -- and here I paraphrase his words -- "until they nail his coffin shut."   NAMING  Above, I proposed the group as rec.arts.sf.written.robert-jordan. This name indicates that the Robert Jordan discussion concerns written speculative fiction, and shows that the .r-j group is formed partly as a relief valve for an overburdened r.a.sf.w group.  Others (myself included) have suggested rec.arts.books.robert-jordan. This might be a better choice because Robert Jordan's writing is not (and will not be) limited to speculative fiction.  RJ has published westerns, international intrigue, and historical fiction, as well as literary reviews and criticism.  A r.a.b.r-j group would avoid adding another five-level group in rec.arts.sf and would fit in alongside rec.arts.books.tolkien.  Many have suggested shortening the name to *.jordan instead of *.robert-jordan.  We think the longer name is necessary to distinguish the group from other possible meanings of "jordan", such as American sports star Michael Jordan and the Middle-East country of Jordan. Note that the subname robert-jordan conforms to Usenet name length standards.   DISCUSSION  This RFD is being crossposted to news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and rec.arts.sf.written.  Followups should be directed to news.groups. The name for this group (suggestions outlined above) is one thing I'd like to see addressed in this Discussion.   FOOTNOTE  Many people have provided suggestions incorporated into this article. My thanks to all of you; you know who you are.  This RFD has been written in accordance with the Guidelines for Usenet Group Creation and has been brought to you by the letter Q. --  Bill Garrett   -   [email protected]   -   UNC Chapel Hill Computer Science 	"I've never really hated a cause or an idea until I've been 		forced to endure its fanatical followers."

No.  Longer, more polite explanation: the sf in rec.arts.sf.written stands for Speculative Fiction. SF includes both science fiction and fantasy. Yes, we realize that this isn't as clear as it might be. When the groups were formed, no-one could think of a better abbreviation.  The fantasy-science fiction split is a long-standing topic in the hierarchy. No two people are able to agree on where the split occurs. There are a number of well-known books and series that straddle whatever line you might pick. Consensus in r.a.sf.* is that no such split is possible without massive problems. --  Stephen Graham [email protected] [email protected]	 uw-beaver!june!graham  From [email protected] Wed Jun 29 16:04:01 1994 Path: uunet!bounce-back From: [email protected] (Brennan T.
