Talk:Andre Norton

message: I am pretty sure that Android at Arms was published earlier than 1993.  I read it in grade school, probably around 1980. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.93.38.161 (talk) 
:The ISFDB dates it to 1971. If you still have a copy, could you check the copyright date that it lists? grendel|khan 00:47, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I changed a link to a Project Gutenberg etext so that it pointed to the catalog page instead of directly to the HTML version of the etext. Project Gutenberg produces plain text versions and zip files containing the complete HTML-with-images distribution in addition to the online HTML. It also provides for a selection of local mirrors so that the load is distributed off of the main Project Gutenberg site. They request that incoming links point to the catalog page instead of deep-linking directly to one particular version.
I mention this here because it's likely that there will be more PG links---the Gutenberg in-progress list shows at least "The Defiant Agents", "The Gifts of Asti", "Key Out of Time", "Rebel Spurs", "Ride Proud, Rebel!", "Star Hunter", "Storm over Warlock" and "Time Traders" under Andre Norton, and more may be added as the copyright clearance process continues. grendel|khan 00:40, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: More than half of the article is the bibliography section, which provides the same information that's available on the ISFDB. If there are discrepancies, I have access to the ISFDB and can address them. I propose that once the bibliography here is checked against the ISFDB's, that this copy is deleted, moved to a new page (Bibliography of Andre Norton?) or replaced with a category (Books by Andre Norton? see :Category:Books_by_Isaac_Asimov). Its present form serves to bloat the page. grendel|khan 00:59, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Why the text about Alan E. Nourse? It seems irrelevant to me, in regards to Andre Norton. --Kristjan Wager 09:01, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It bothers me, and actually, the way it's currently phrased, could lead someone to assume that there was a connection between the two, (other than their close proximity on the library shelves.) Hmmm, we actually don't even have any citation to show that anyone ever did assume Nourse to be one of her pseudonyms. I'm going to try rephrasing it. Marieblasdell 23:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: It is my opinion that the entire Bibliography section needs to be reworked. I see many errors and misinformation. For instance when a title is listed and then it is stated (with another name) one assumes that person contributed to the actual writing. Just in the first five titles this happens three times. The names listed were actually the illustrators. I believe it should be stated as such.
The Empire of Dust should be removed for it is a story written by Basil Wells and appears in a booklet titled Science Fantasy Series – Griffin Booklet One - Empire of Dust / Gifts of Asti. The Gifts of Asti is the story by Andre Norton as Andrew North.
Space Police is a collection of (stories) but like Space Pioneers is only edited by Andre Norton. Although she did write the introduction for both.
In the Witch World Listing most of the titles are short stories not books. I could go on but it is not necessary. I agree that the whole bibliography should be its own page, and would be more than willing to contribute to it. Since I’m new by just a couple days to wikipedia in general I guess I’m asking permission.

message: Bit OT, but would someone start the Lyn McConchie article? I know she's a fellow Kiwi but thats about it. Also, is there any info on whether Lyn McConchie is planning to or was given permission to continue some of the series she worked on like the Beast Master series and Estcarp Cycle of the Witch World series (n.b. I've never actually read any of her books and don't know about them in great detail so perhaps they've already finished and this is a dumb question). There are also a few other recent collaborators. One of them is finishing a story which I pressume they were collaborating on. Are and of these likely to work on her series? Nil Einne 18:08, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll rough out a very stubby start for one - I've known Lyn on and off for a number of years, but haven't seen her in nearly a decade. Grutness...wha? 07:33, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "With her 1965 book Year of the Unicorn (third in the High Hallack spinoff of her Witch World series), she used a young woman as the protagonist, which was at the time uncommon for American works of fantasy."
An interesting statement, but since the most famous American work of fantasy before Norton started writing is The Wizard of Oz, with a young woman protagonist, and its sequels, many of which also feature young woman protagonists, I'm dubious about the statement. Is there a citation?Skepticalgiraffe (talk) 19:22, 8 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Uncommon and unheard of are two different things, although I agree that it could use a citation. 76.231.73.99 (talk) 04:26, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
