Welcome to the IBDoF Wikka Web!


The purpose of this software is to make possible the building of character lists and world maps for the fictional places which fascinate and haunt us.

Places having this profound affect on those who read about them have been described as the “World as Myth.” A variety of people have presented this concept, but the person who introduced it to us was a Grand Master of Science Fiction: Robert Heinlein. The foundational belief is that every fictional world is real somewhere.

Darth Vadar, Lessa, Robinton, Ford Prefect, and Frodo [along with many, many others] all occupy a place in these "World's As Myth".

The purpose of this site is to provide reference books—the “schoolbooks” of these fictional worlds. More specifically, it is our goal to provide a historical record (by showing what happened and when it happened), a “who’s who” (with biographical information for all important characters), and a basic lexicon of terminology specific to this world.

While other books may be added to this list, our primary targets are listed below.

Be Warned. Spoilers are likely to abound!
To gain permission to add information to this site, contact KiltanneN on the IBDoF forum. Only people with permission from the webmaster are allowed to edit, but everyone, including non-registered users, has readomg access.

Although the intention of this site is to allow reasonably open access to those who wish to edit the wiki, everyone must request access, and access will not be given by default. The reason for this is that we truly wish to accomplish something fairly complex here, and want to build a team of like-minded people.

If you have not yet used a wiki, one of the first things you will need to become familiar with is the concept of a WikiWord. These use a thing called Camel Case, and a bit of info about them can be found here: http://wikka.jsnx.com/WikiName The history et al of Camel Case can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CamelCase


And here are the WAM locations: [Hopefully this will be a growing list]
DarkOver ~ Marion Zimmer Bradley
MiddleEarth ~ JRR Tolkien
TheLand ~ Stephen Donaldson
NarniA ~ CS Lewis
