Links

...where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

My page may be fine (or then again it may not), but there are others far finer. Here is a crossroads, an embarking station for a number of other sites.

Babylon 5

• Lurker's Guide to B5: The center of all the fandom. The most comprehensive guide on Babylon 5 you are ever going to find or need, with information on episodes, the famous 'JMS speaks' sections, and many, many more links.
• Becky's Spoiler Page: What the Lurker's Guide is for the episodes that have aired, the Spoiler Page is for the episode that haven't yet. Every future episode as spoiled as possible, and after it airs, excellent synopses of them as well.
• The John and Delenn Site: For every John & Delenn fan out there, this site is a 'must'. But all the rest of us will still enjoy the many excellent analyses that can be found there..
• Useless Idea Website: Here you can find Blind Man's hilarious Useless Ideas. Clickety-click and roll on the floor laughing.

Tolkien

• Tolkien Online: My favourite Tolkien website this includes news from the movies, as well as a gallery of images, chapter-by-chapter commentary from the "Tolkien Virgin" (a first-time reader of the book), and much much more.
• TheOneRing.Net: Another site with wide Tolkien content.
• Ardalambion: From Valinorean all the way to the Black Speech of Mordor, everything you ever wanted to know about Tolkien's languages.
• The LOTR movie site: An excellent to use as a start for your search for info concerning the Tolkien movies currently under production.
• The Tolkien Newsgroups "Lord of the Rings" E-text: The site for the (often hilarious) parody of the 'Lord of the Rings', a parody I've also contributed to!
• Odd Lots: The site of one of my favourite fanfic authors, Philosopher at Large. A little bit of everything in it -- criticism, parodies, original poetry and artwork as well as works of Tolkien fan-fiction -- the centerpiece of this collection is probably The Leithian Script. Go see it!

Harry Potter

•

Fiction Alley is the most comprehensive fan-fiction site any Harry Potter fan could hope to find! Divided into four sections, for novel-length, romantic, humorous or dark fics, it caters for every and any taste!

•

Gathering to itself all the fics that more... 'respectable' sites would refuse, Restricted Section is an archive for HP stories rated NC-17 and above.

Gargoyles

• Station 8: One of the fandom's two centers. The most important aspect is arguably the comment room - which everyone should visit atleast once (if only to say hi!)- though here you can also find the famous Ask Greg section, as well as an archive of sounds, pictures and videos.
• Gargoyles Fan Website: The second and largest center of the fandom. Here you can find more information on sites and the show, the TGS stories, and most important of all, the Fan Fiction Archive housing hundreds of stories.
• Gargoyles Fan Registry: If you are a Gargoyles fan, step this way! Tell a little about yourself and learn about others who share the same interests.

Interactive Fiction

• Baf's Guide to the Interactive Fiction Archive: Just what the title says, this place is probably one of the best places possible, to start your search concerning any game ever written, be it reviews or gamefiles you are searching for.
• XYZZYnews: An online magazine for Interactive Fiction enthusiasts, this site also houses the famous XYZZY awards. Another "must".
• PARSIFAL interactive fiction links: As the name suggests, a collection of Interactive Fiction links. If you are a author, designer, reviewer or beta-tester of IF, then chances are this page has a link leading to your site. It even has a link to my own site - and I didn't even have to bribe them! ;-)
• El Page del Adam: Adam Cadre is generally considered one of the best writers of Interactive Fiction, his works including stories as diverse in content and style as Photopia, I-0, Shrapnel, and Varicella.
• Zarfhome: Zarf (aka Andrew Plotkin) is another indisputable Master in the Interactive Fiction community. His works include the amazing Spider and the Web, the poetic The Space Under the Window, the surrealistic So Far and quite a few others... He's also the creator of the Glulx platform which managed to remove many of the limitations of the Z-machine and will possibly replace it.
• Emily Short's Interactive Fiction Page: If there's a Holy Trinity of IF writers, then Emily Short is definitely its third (and quite promising) member. One of my favourite writers, her works (which include Galatea, Metamorphoses and Pytho's Mask) tend to provide the best possible argument in favour of the simulationist approach in games.
• Inform 6 - A Design system for Interactive Fiction: The page of Graham Nelson concerning Inform v.6, the programming language which made possible a lot of what exists in the IF community nowadays, and the most popular design system nowadays alongside TADS.
• Gull: A Beginner's Guide to Glulx Inform, this page by Adam Cadre is the best possible introduction to the language. You want to learn Glulx - you go here. Simple as that.

Words fail to describe the... phenomenon that is Jewel Faulkner, another of my online friends. Her site's name should warn you a bit about the kind of personality she has. And let's not even refer to the content.... :-)
