Location: Neither here...nor there		I might join this one. It's a good idea for a challenge. Hrm, debating.

The subgenre part of WWEnd needs some work, though, imo. For example, "gaslamp fantasy" is not included at all, so a lot of those books are under steampunk (which is something else entirely). And "new weird" ala Jeff Vandermeer and China Mieville is lacking. Also, there's no "slipstream" or "theological" for fantasy, only for sci-fi. And there are lots and lots of books which are not tagged, or are tagged incorrectly.
