GALAXY CUP 2004 - The Other Competition

As stated, this is judged by different criteria. We’ll be weighing up the contestants in terms of: banality, lack of humour, just-this-side-of-actionable-plagiarism, didactic propaganda, uninteresting fetishism, disservice to the genre, complacency and sheer bad writing. In a crowded field, LaHaye and Jenkins are probably narrow favourites, with Hubbard close behind.

Terry Brooks
100% (1 vote)
David Drake
0% (0 votes)
Total: 1 vote

Terry Brooks versus David Drake is a clash of pure simplemindedness. Or to remind those of you who may have forgotten the joys of these two authors, reading them is like getting mugged by a syphilitic hobbit with a penchant for yelling out the caliber of each bullet he fires into your brain.

S. R. Donaldson
100% (1 vote)
A. E van Vogt
0% (0 votes)
Total: 1 vote

So, is Donaldson an abysmal writer with OK ideas, or should he be held responsible for having alienated so many readers from this genre? And would it help if van Vogt understood his own ideas better?

Piers Anthony
100% (1 vote)
R. L. Fanthorpe
0% (0 votes)
Total: 1 vote

Anthony and Fanthorpe are both charged with industrial-level deforestation.

J. W. Campbell
100% (1 vote)
R. A. Salvatore
0% (0 votes)
Total: 1 vote

Salvatore and his legions of rich-kid zombie readers should triumph over Campbell, who, while not only being an exceptionally bad writer, was also a Scientologist.

M. Lackey
100% (1 vote)
David Weber
0% (0 votes)
Total: 1 vote

The evening on Lackey and Weber should be a once-in-a-lifetime display of puerile and sentimental romanticism versus barely-sublimated Victorian reactionary tendencies. We expect a high turnout for this one.

Anne McCaffrey
  (0 votes)
Hugo Gernsbach
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

McCaffrey, by virtue of her legion of acolytes, should defeat the oldster Gernsback.

L. Ron Hubbard
  (0 votes)
Kevin J. Anderson

The monolith that is Hubbard should have no trouble in defeating the nefariously ubiquitous Anderson…

John Norman

C. S. Lewis
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

…but the real polarizing will occur in the following match, in which we shall bravely traverse the primeval testosterone sludge of John Norman’s Gor books to attain the dizzy Christian dreamlands of C S Lewis.

Terry Goodkind
  (0 votes)
Ben Bova
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

Bova’s hard SF is boring to the point of coma-inducing, but Goodkind actually dedicated one of his books post-9/11 to the US intelligence community…

Weis & Hickman
  (0 votes)
David Feintuch
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

Weis & Hickman, sires of the viral abomination that is Dragonlance, will probably have no trouble in vanquishing the discipline-fetishes and naval soporifics of Mr. Feintuch.

McKiernan
  (0 votes)
Marge Piercey
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

The extraordinarily treacle-like consistency of Dennis McKiernan’s prose must indeed be strong of heart to stand up against the solid conceptuals of other authors distantly glimpsed through Piercey’s longeurs.

J. R. R. Tolkien
100% (1 vote)
J. K. Rowling
0% (0 votes)
Total: 1 vote

The true Clash of the Titans, this confrontation should shake many foundations many in a pyromantic display of narrow moral propagandist simplicity.

Brian Lumley
  (0 votes)
(The late) Robert Heinlein
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

While Lumley has done more than any other writer to defile the grave of H P Lovecraft, (the late) Heinlein displays the disconcerting spectacle of an ageing icon vanishing up his own reactionary asshole.

Brian Herbert
  (0 votes)
Elizabeth Moon
  (0 votes)
Total: 0 votes

The earnest plodding of Elizabeth Moon may not give her the necessary impetus to outrace the necrophiliac antics of Frank’s son in this bout.

Lahaye & Jenkins

The Perry Rhodan collective

Here we have Christian fascists vying for supremacy with works which would normally fail the Turing test.

De Lint and Pournelle. The beloved crypto-fascist parasite on Niven’s back versus the Prince of Twee.
