Wands and Worlds

A discussion site focused on teen and children's fantasy and science fiction, Wands and Worlds was founded in 2005 by Sheila Ruth. It grew to incorporate a wide variety of active members from many fandoms, the most popular being Warriors, due to the semi-regular author chats held at the site. Although it is still used for book discussion, it has become more of a general forum for teens, and other ages as well.

This website provide examples of:

 * Anyone Can Die: During a Mafia, to the point where normally benevolent members can turn quite sneaky.

 * True Neutral: Starsight
 * Cloudcuckoolander: Sevenclaws, and proud of it.

 * Furry Fandom: Subverted - in the early days of Wands and Worlds' existence, most members referred to themselves as cats, as Warriors was the main (if not only) fandom then.
