The Sci-Fi Lovers Convention List-- A large collection of cons from across the country and around the world. The Fandom Directory -- A great listing of clubs, cons, fans, and companies devoted to fandom.
Anime, or Japanese Animation, is a particular favorite genre of mine. The great thing about Anime is the endless variety of types, from the zany
martial-arts mayhem of Ramna 1/2, to the cyberpunk streets of Akira and Bubblegum Crisis, to the whimiscal worlds of Laputa, Castle in the Sky.
There's an Anime series that will suit any fan's taste.

Tenchi Masaki is one of the most dangerous things to be in Japanese animation: your average, everyday teenage guy.
It's dangerous since it means his life must be disrupted by space pirate demons, lovesick alien princesses,
ditzy Galaxy Police detectives, and mad scientist schoolgirls. All this, and cabbits, too! Find out more about the
Tenchiverse in the links below...
The Tenchi Muyo Home Page -- Get ready to earn your Tenchi Ph.D.!
The Shrine of the Demoness Ryoko -- Devoted to everyone's favorite buxom pirate, with great pix and sounds from the show.

Ranma Saotome wants to be the best martial-arts master in the world. So when
his father Gemna sets up a marriage between Ranma and his best friend's daughter
Akane Tendo, he (and she) naturally rebel at the idea. Besides, Ranma's got problems of his own;
due to an ancient curse, Ranma turns into a girl whenever he gets splashed with cold water.
Hot water will change him(her?) back into a guy, but only until the next splash. Add in his many
rivals, at least three other fiancees, and an ego the size of Tokyo...and you have a recipe for
one of the most popular anime shows in Japan. All this, and the ultra-cute Shampoo, too! Get your Ranma fix
at these great websites.
HammerSpace -- Learn more about Ranma and Co. thru the eyes of his hot-tempered fiancee Akane.

The year is 2033. War and natural disasters have devastated the Earth. Out of the ashes of Japan has arisen the city of MegaTokyo, the megacorp known as Genom, and the dangerously unstable and lethal androids called Boomers. Law and order is kept by the AD POLICE. But sometimes, the law is not enough. When rampaging rogue boomers stalk the streets, there's only one hope MegaTokyo has: The Knight Sabers.Bubblegum Crisis was the first anime series I watched. To me, it's still the defining series on what anime should be: a mix of action, humor, and drama set in an epic world. Bubblegum Crisis is also one of the classic cyberpunk settings, and owes a lot to Blade Runner. Join the Knight Sabers in their adventures at these websites:
The Unoffical BGC Homepage -- A Geocities starting point for MegaTokyo sightseeing.
"Like a dream from far away...a sweet memory lingers from the distant
past...like a kingdom that you reach after many years of dreaming...El
Hazard is the eternal homeland, and the land of never-ending adventures. As
long as there is a challenging spirit and a readiness to fly into
infinity, the gates of El Hazard shall be opened for you, across millions
of nights..."When Makoto Mizuhara finds a mysterious woman emerging from the ancient ruins discovered under his high school, he gets swept away into an epic adventure. El Hazard features some of the most memorable characters in anime today, including Fujisawa, the superstrong closet-alcaholic homeroom teacher; Katsuhiro Jinnai, Makoto's self-appointed arch-enemy and resident psycho; Meeze, a Priestess whose husband hunting focuses on the errant Fujisawa;...and many more! You can journey to El Hazard through these fine websites!

Yakumo Fujii is a student just trying to get by, abandoned by his archaeologist father. But when a mysterious girl from Tibet named Pai delivers him his father's last wishes (and skull!),
he little realizes the epic adventure that will dominate his destiny. Pai just happens to be the last of the Sanjiyan Unkara, a mystical race of immortals who have a third eye in the middle
of their forehead. When Yakumo is torn asunder by Pai's frenzied demon-bird Takuhi, her eye opens and bonds his soul with hers, granting Yakumo a grisly form of immortality. Pai and Yakumo then set out to give Pai the gift of humanity. Only problem is, some of the deadliest demons in the universe stand in their way. With a combination of graphic horror, non-stop action, and a touch of light-hearted humor, Sazan Eyes (its Japanese title) is a must-see. For more on Pai and Yakumo's adventures, check out
these great links!
Pai's Page -- A nice intro to the series

When college student Keiichi Morisato calls to order takeout, he little suspects he's misdialed
to the Goddess Help Line. When the beautiful goddess Belldandy answers his call, he's stunned. She
tells him he's been granted one wish, for whatever he wants. When Keiichi wishes he could have a girl
like Belldandy with him forever, he finds out why one has to be careful what one wishes for... Now
Belldandy is linked to him forever; or at least until the contract gets nullified. To make matters
more complicated, Belldandy's free-spirited older sister Urd shows up to light a fire under their
budding romance. Her younger sister Skuld arrives since she's lonely. Together, these three goddesses
will turn Keiichi's life upside-down! OMG! is a fun and friendly series, with wild characters, and a
warm romance. You can start your worship of our favorite goddesses at the websites below!

Another of my favorite hobbies is roleplaying games. I got started on the granddaddy of 'em all, Dungeons & Dragons.
But now there are dozens of systems and game-worlds to explore. As a lover of stories, I really get a kick out of running
my own creation through an epic adventure, be they the dark and shadowy vampire, the roguish devil-may care pirate, or the mighty arch-mage battling evil.
Below are just a few of the many resources for gaming on the Net.
White Wolf Games -- creators of the Storyteller line of RPGs (Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Wraith, and Changeling)Zanzibar's World of Darkness -- The best collection of Storyteller roleplaying material on the NetThe Salon de la Rose -- The Toreador is my favorite type of Vampire...This site gives you everything you need to know
about the Clan of the Rose. You can also check out my favorite character, Jacquelyn Marceau at the Salon.Steve Jackson Games -- creators of the Generic Universal Roleplaying System (GURPS) and In Nomine, the roleplaying game of heaven, hell, and all hings in between.
I am an admitted X-phile. It's probably the only show on television I watch on any regular basis.
With its combination of eerie Twilight Zone strangeness and the uberconspiracies of the government, it grabs your
attention and keeps it there. Fox Mulder and Dana Scully have brought new life into the realms of horror and
the occult. You can get your fill of X-stuff at the following sites...but remember, once you venture into the X-Files,
you have no one to trust but yourself...
Yahoo has a category devoted to the show...an X-cellent starting pointThe Official X-File Site -- The place to hear the latest newsThe X-Files Episode Guide -- The best guide on the WebTerminal X -- A multimedia ultra-cool X-Site
