Where's J.R.R. Tolkien? The father of fantasy? And why so few? The Fantasy Authors category needs some work done.

Is it the category that needs work, or does the category need to be added to profiles? (Someone actually has to do that. It does not happen automagically.)

I have added the category to Tolkien's profile:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Tolkien-1
.
As Melanie Paul has indicated, what may need to be done is to add the category to other profiles for writers of fantasy fiction. This has to be done individually for each profile. Except where privacy settings prevent editing, Jennifer, you can do this yourself if you wish :-)

Thank you!
Now I get why so few were in the category's list.
I sure will! Thanks again!
