And the root cause: Literary Snobbishness. The same thing that led to
the World Fantasy people changing their rules so a mere 'comic book'
couldn't be nominated for the World Fantasy Award after the Sandman
"Midsummer Night's Dream" issue won it.

Speaking of snobbishness to an murderous extreme. Somehow or other I
never really noted till it was mentioned on this list, the description
of Draco's "White-Blond hair". Together with his "Pure Blood" attitude,
makes him seem very Aryan, eh?
