What is the best world building in fiction?
Welcome to the final round
Our poll is ten names. Each of you will be given four votes. Please remember that there is no "ranking" system for votes so each vote you cast beyond the first will "dilute" the power of all the others. You should vote for as few as you can bear to.
This poll will run until July 31st. We have a special poll planned for August.
One reminder that I always need to put on our more popular polls. This poll is about books. It is not about movies. There have been some great movie adaptations of many of these titles, but stick to voting for the BOOKS. Loving the Harry Potter movies is one thing, but if you thought McCaffery wrote the better world, you should go with PERN.
The poll itself is on the lower left of the side menus–just below the "About the Author."
Since I can't really stop shenanigans, I welcome shenanigans all flavors. The main one is of course that Polldaddy tracks your IP for a week so you could vote from multiple computers or vote again after a week, but people have also enlisted friends, family, and even author forums or Facebook communities to join in the fun. Since our Discworld fanboi is on the prowl, you should enlist help if you have another world in mind.
