Yeah, I agree it's a different vibe to the names -- but I kind of learned to group the sci-fi writers called Elizabeth by "four letter common noun" in my head, without thinking about the semantic properties of the noun, if that makes sense, so I do think of them collectively, as Moon-Bear-Hand, in the order that I encountered them (Moon's Deed of Paksenarrion as a teenager, EBear via blogging at [livejournal.com profile] matociquala and then reading a couple of her books, and actually now that I think about it, I must have read some of Hand's works in anthologies, because I do remember having a thought at some point that now I've sampled all three.

IIRC, File770 was pretty good at linking to at least some of the Puppies stuff, because I was using it as my news aggregator on the topic and I did end up reading at least the Sad Puppies' positions and grievances, and I think also remember clicking on some of the Rabid Puppies' screeds before backing away slowly.

But I do really like the point below that having it all collected in a book means it can't just vanish off the net the way so many things are wont to do.

and it also tries to ground and contextualize it in a lot of more far-reaching activity

And this is actually really cool! and not something you'd get from contemporary blogs for sure...
