Encyclopedia Fantastica and Sword and Sorcery
Paul Jessup has started a new wiki, Encyclopedia Fantastica. Here's what he says about it on the homepage:
Inspired, I went over and created an entry on Sword and Sorcery. I've been reading a lot of S&S lately and thinking about what makes it work. I'm sure I've written something in there that will make me groan later, but I'm hoping it can get some people talking about the genre and thinking about what makes it work. I'd love to see a revival of S&S that created more interesting settings and characters.A literary resource for Fantastic Literature in all its guises. This wiki-based Encyclopedia is meant to create discussion and arguments of intellectual merit within the fantasy community. Inside you will see ideas explode, terms implode, and criticisms argued and debated.
The purpose is debate and knowledge. Consider this a community resource, a scholarly adventure.
