Jane - I know you have expressed concerns recently about this board maybe closing soon for lack of interest. I, for one, think it ought to remain open indefinitely, as a "Lord John-centered" board, for anyone who is interested in discussions focused on the LJ books. Maybe not a "Hand of Devils" board (there doesn't seem to be nearly as much interest in that as there was in BOTB last summer/fall) but opened up for discussions on LJ-related topics of all kinds. And it certainly doesn't mean LJ couldn't also be discussed on the regular Books board. Just a thought... -- LJG Discussion board

In reply to: Jane 's message, "Wow, Karen and Oleander, reading your posts reminds me exactly why this board is so important! John deserves the depth of understanding and sympathy you have both shown him here. While these books are shorter and perhaps don't have as many really important characters, I believe they are every bit as deep, and deserve just as much energy in their discussion as THE BOOKS do. It kills me to see them virtually dismissed as not being worth the bother to read by some of the folks on the other boards. If we were to try to have a discussion like this anywhere else it is possible we'd encounter some negative energy we don't need by people who've not even read the books." on 15:45:37 01/30/08 Wed

I concur�..A book board for all the �Lord John� books would be great! With 2 novels and the 3 short stories in print, one more novel to come �LJ & The Scottish Prisoner� , and herself saying she has agreed to write another short story for a �anthology� and implies it will also feature LJG�.There will be no shortage of material to discuss�.I also think LJ�s popularity will continue to grow just like the Outlander series�..Oh What Fun!!!

- Here here! I completely agree. There are times when this board is slow, but at the same time, I love coming here for the indepth discussions we get as well that might be intrusive on the other boards. I think a Lord John board would be just the thing! (NT) -- Oleander, 09:19:49 01/31/08 Thu
  - When this board is slow it is easy enough to pop in occasionally just to see what's up. It's certainly worth the energy to keep it around for the times really great discussions DO get going! I love thinking back to the energy and momentum we've seen in the past here where you ladies dazzle me with your insights! I would be really sad to think of going back to only one board were John is viewed as a minor background character at best and even viewed with hostility and suspicion by some who will never take time to read his books and will therefor never give themselves an opportunity to get to know him as we do.
