Fiction Discussion Lists
 Dorothy-L DorothyL is a discussion and idea list in digest form for the lovers of the mystery genre. Dorothy-L has clear and lively guidelines, which you will receive in full if you subscribe. Among them is the practice of assuming a Nom de Clavier, using the name of any fictional character or deceased author not currently in use. The moderators keep an electronic list of Noms in use, and will let you know if your choice is available, kind of like the vanity license plate system. Living authors are off limits because so many actually are members of the list! Learn more about the list at the DorothyL Official Website. To subscribe to DorothyL, follow these instructions:
Romance Readers Anonymous Another blend of writers and readers, RRA-L is a great place to share recommendations as well as find "someone who writes in the style of Susan Johnson." The list members have done a monthly "Book Chat" on an agreed-upon title for the last two years. Romance fans will enjoy this warm and friendly list. Learn more about this group at their website: www.toad.net/~dolma/. To subscribe to RRA-L, follow these simple steps:
SF-LIT The SF-LIT (Literary Science Fiction & Fantasy Discussion Forum) members will help you find half-remembered stories, an author's latest, or why the Universal Translator should (or shouldn't) work. Learn more about SF-LIT, their archives dating back to 1995, and instructions to sign-up and post messages at their website: http://sun8.loc.gov/listarch/sf-lit.html. If you have immediate questions, you may contact the moderator at cstu@loc.gov.
Fiction_L Fiction_L is the only list created with Reader's Advisory librarians in mind, but welcomes all publishers, vendors and book lovers. Fiction_L maintains searchable archives on the web, and is establishing an ever growing stack of booklists compiled by the list members. You can subscribe to Fiction_L at the Fiction_L web page.
PUBYAC PUBYAC was created for public library children's and YA librarians by a librarian, then still a graduate student. Recommended highly by Youth Services staff everywhere, PUBYAC is an outstanding resource. Learn more about PUBYAC at their website: mail.prairienet.org/mailman/listinfo/pubyac.

YALSA-BK YALSA-BK was created in November 1997 by the YALSA chapter of ALA to provide a forum for online discussion of young adult books. This rapidly growing list is working hard to include the reviews and comments of teens themselves. Membership in YALSA-BK is a great way to accumulate lists of recommended reads for every teen. To learn more about this mailing list, visit www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/electronicresourcesb/websitesmailing.htm. To subscribe to YALSA-BK follow these steps:
