→How to write this article: okay, we'll do it your way. Here is a reference for what we'll want to include
:: Okay, the Library of Congress [http://www.loc.gov] yields 301 entries (individual works I think) for "Hubbard, L. Ron (La Fayette Ron), 1911-1986". Simply looking at the titles, they are Dianetics and Scientology books, lectures and so on. But included are the 10 volumes of his "Battlefield Earth" which is science fiction. So, what pen names did he write his science fiction under, then we can compare quantities. [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 02:24, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

::: I really don't care what additional description you want to append, as long as "science fiction author" stays, add what descriptor you want and as long as it seems reasonable I won't argue. [[User:Tmtoulouse|Tmtoulouse]] 02:33, 21 March 2007 (EDT)

<undent> I understand. This is a link to a man who is somewhat critical of Hubbard. At [http://web.uni-marburg.de/religionswissenschaft/journal/mjr/frenschkowski.html this page] he analysis Hubbard's fiction, saying:
* As is well known, Hubbard started his career as a writer in all genres of popular literature. In the Thirties he wrote mainly adventure fiction, aviation stories, travel stories, but also mysteries, western, romance, and even some love stories. Later he concentrated on fantasy and especially science fiction.<br />
So we'll do it your way and list his various fictional genres. [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 03:29, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
