I'm not in fandom, so i can't make a comparison, but I do agree with you about child_lit and what-all is placed on Debbie's shoulders. She's not 100% alone either onlist (Jean Mendoza and Beverlet Slapin at the very least are vocally supportive) or offlist (I've emailed her offlist in support more than once, and I only mention that because if I'm doing it, someone else must be too).

But overall, as a general trend, there's certainly a whole lot more protestations in the form of bingo squares than there is support. When I say support, I mean not just answering DR's posts and agreeing or taking it further, but original initiations of posts on the same topics. I can think of several possible reasons, but I don't know which one or ones are the real ones, and I don't quite feel comfy listing my potential reasons right here at the moment. I'll think on that, and maybe come back.

THanks for bringing it up. It's a critical question. Even for me who's just looking at the child_lit side and not the comparison with fandom: still valuable.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
