Ideas for Resource Categories for the Talis SF/F Portal
Three "portal areas": Research, Read, and Write
Resources for Researchers (Research)
-- Links to major research journals/web sites (e.g., New York Review of Science Fiction, Locus online)
-- Resources about authors
-- Resources about specific research areas (e.g., Feminism in SF)
-- Links to popular Cons and Con resources (this actually overlaps all three main categories)
Resources for Readers (Read)
-- eBooks, public domain works, etc.
-- Web sites publishing stories, e.g., Strange Horizons
-- Podcasts/audio versions of stories
-- Works being published in SL, e.g., machinima (not sure what is out there), book references in SL
Resources for Writers (Write)
-- Idea generators (e.g., SciTech Daily, Edge.org)
-- Agents and Publishers & Writers Beware (might be nice to link to some small presses here)
-- Workshops and writing groups (e.g., Clarion, Critters)
-- Doing SF/F in SL (not sure what would be here, need to explore with community)
