Voting on 2016!

Please vote YES to no more than 12 options, for those categories which you would almost assuredly participate in.
Please vote NO to those categories you are not interested in and would very likely not partake of.
Please vote UNDECIDED to those categories you have no strong feelings about, and may or may not join as your fancy strikes (these votes will be considered, with less weight).

You are welcome to change your votes up until the closing date.
Which will be... let's go with, Nov 15, half a month. It can be extended if need be.

Currently, these are what our months are looking like:
1. Early modern horror: 1950-1980
2. Stephen King & family
3. Haunted houses (/ghost stories)
4. Psychos, slashers, serial killers & the like
5. Pre and post-Victorian Gothic
6. Short stories
7. Graphic novels + children's/YA
8. Non-fiction
9. Non-English
10. Women authors
11. Diversity in horror
12. Paranormal

This is, of course, subject to change with more votes/changed votes.

Any last votes? Only 2 days left!

Okay, so we are set?

And a question. Is Joe Hill part of King and Family? I hate King, but I haven't tried Joe Hill but do own a book or two of his.

>24 majkia: Yes, Joe Hill is his son. There is also Owen King, his other son, although I don't think he writes horror. And Tabitha King has published.

ETA Oh, and Owen's wife, Kelly Braffet looks like she writes thrillers.

I was not aware of his wife, thanks for that :)

I amended the voting posts to reflect the results. Yeses were +1, nos were -1, undecideds were +.5. The one case of a tie (amongst 3) for the last place winner was selected by the highest yes votes.

New thread has been put up for the planning stage, go check it out!

Oops, I'm behind on threads and voting. Oh well. Looks good! :)

I did come in here and I voted. Just wish I would have commented to more easily follow the resulting discussion! Oh, well. That's ok...

I'm glad you voted! And it's okay, things aren't set in stone, discuss away!

Looks like I'm too late to vote, but some good ideas came through!
