Everything2

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.
(Redirected from Everything 2)


Everything2, (a.k.a Everything, a.k.a E2) is a cross between a Wiki and a massive multi-user Blog.

Each page of Everything2 is called a "node". A node is just a title - a topic for discussion or elucidation. Attached to the node are "writeups" - written descriptions, essays, anecdotes, fiction or poetry on the subject of the node.

A node without any writeups - that is, created in anticipation of some other user's writeup - is called a "nodeshell". It is surprisingly common practice for some noder to create a bizarre, contrived node name[1] without specifying a writeup to go with it, instead waiting patiently for some other user to write their own interpretation of that title. This (creating a writeup for an intentionally empty node) is known as a "nodeshell rescue".

(This explains those occasions where a node's title proclaims one opinion loud and clear, but has a corresponding writeup that has a more reserved opinion of the subject.)

Also contains categories - lists of collected nodes sharing a like premise or theme.

Home to such fiction series as New York Magician, Fine Structure, and the Metro City Chronicles.
