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.

Tropes used in Wands and Worlds include:

• Anyone Can Die: During a Mafia, to the point where normally benevolent members can turn quite sneaky.
• Badass Bookworm: Everyone can have their moments.
• Berserk Button:
  • [feel free to add yours here]
• Big No: Taken to epic proportions on more than one occasion.

• Breaking the Fourth Wall: Reality and Fiction, etc.
• Cargo Ship: Jay x Stick

  • Chaotic Neutral: Ivyflower, Sevenclaws
  • True Neutral: Starsight
• Cloudcuckoolander: Sevenclaws, and proud of it.
• Cool Big Sis: Crescentmoon.

    • That's up for debate.

  • Also "Wandie", as a term for any member of the site.
• 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.
