Science Fiction and Fantasy

Science Fiction and Fantasy related sites that are independent of specific media, or that deal with media which aren't represented in other categories.

This category might be a catch-all for Science Fiction and Fantasy, but that doesn''t mean every site goes here. Sites which are appropriate for this category meet one of the following criteria:

It is about Science Fiction or Fantasy in at least two of Television, Movies, Literature, Writing, Games, or Art.
It is about Science Fiction or Fantasy in general, in such a way Television, Movies, Literature, Writing, Games, and Art aren''t relevant to the site.
It is about Science Fiction fandom, the subculture of people who are Science Fiction fans no matter what the medium.
It is well and truly unplacable in the current ODP structure. This happens very rarely.

If your site doesn''t meet the above criteria, and is submitted here anyway, its inclusion in the directory can be delayed by the sorting process. Please try to find the most specific category for your site before submitting.

Directories

Science Fiction and Fantasy related sites that contain catalogues, directories or search engines for genre links and resources.

Sites which are appropriate for this category meet all of the following criteria:

must cover the genre almost exclusively; general directories or sub-sections of general directories, will usually not be listed here.
must contain a reasonable quantity of content; pages with a handful of links are not considered.
must cover works in more than one medium (e.g., literature, movies, television).
must cover works in more than one "franchise" (e.g., Star Trek, Star Wars, Tolkien).

Games

For sites relating to SF&F games and/or those who play them, and links to other categories along those lines.

Multimedia

AVI clips and other multimedia resources and websites, concerning Science Fiction, of course

Themes

Throughout the history of Science Fiction and Fantasy, some themes have popped up again and again. Work after work will feature the same central idea, plot device, setting, creature, or archetype. The hero will kill the dragon in the name of good, or the spaceship will travel through time. These ideas have become an awknowledged keystone to Science Fiction and Fantasy as we know it, often gaining fans and followers in their own right. This category is for sites which explore one such theme of Science Fiction or Fantasy.

Sites appropriate to this category are about a Science Fiction or Fantasy theme or its occurences in all of television, literature, and movies. Site about a specific television show or aliens in a few different movies do not go here. More likely, your site belongs somewhere in Fantasy Literature, Science Fiction Literature, Science Fiction and Fantasy Movies, or Science Fiction Television. That said, if your site does belong here, happy submitting. :)

Writing

The sites in these categories are about Science Fiction or Fantasy in the written word. Not all writing in the genre is necessarily literature, despite literatures huge sway. Magazines, E-zines, online stories, and poetry play an important part in making Science Fiction and Fantasy what they are. These categories also have resources for writers (amateur and professional).

Please do not submit sites here. They are not appropriate in this portion of the directory. Rather, follow a symbolic link (they have an @) to a more appropriate part of the directory then submit.
