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.
