I think so... as otehrs poiinted out, LOTR stuff would fit well in there too
and there are many otehr fantasy book series which people might be
interested in building/talking about if there was somewhere to do it.

The majority of the Pern books have no space elements at all. Yes, the
original colonists came from Earth but only one book is about them, and
another couple refer back to them and the rediscovered
computer/spaceships... but most of the books are very much non-space.
I guess if a new group is out of the question, .castle would be the best
place since there's already some fantasy discussion there. Whether or not it
fits the castle-theme basis of the group is another question (isn't that why
Castle World has its own group?).
