Fantasy, that beloved child of folklore, fairytales and mythology! I grew up as a wide-eyed child, listening spell-bound to tales from the Junior Classic Books, the Grimm Brothers and Hans Christian Andersen. As soon as I was able to I learned how to read so I could discover these worlds of wonder between the pages of books in the library. During adolescence I discovered the works of Clark Ashton Smith, Lord Dunsany, Robert E.Howard and many others. At the age of fifteen I began to write fantasy. My stories can be found at both my Cid's World website as well as at my own little Cyrenangel Stories website (which will be up and going soon ) as well. PLEASE sign the guestbook and let me know what you think of my stories. I hope to complete and have online an original story a week website soon. So be sure to bookmark my stories site as soon as I have it online ( you BET I'll have a link to that site as soon as I have created it!). Bookmark THIS site as well. I will try to keep it updated and eliminate any dead links as soon I find them ( as well as add any new great links that I might find ). Here for you are some great websites that I have discovered. May you enjoy your journey into the Otherworld of the Fantastical Realms of Fantasy, Science Fiction, Mythology and Horror. I also have a list of links of different types of fantasy and science fiction role-playing games. And there is a HUGE list of webrings as well.

Aesop's Fables will hook you up with Andersen and Grimm. And there are many fairytale, folklore and mythology sites to enjoy here. The Barbarian of Webtv will introduce you to Robert E. Howard's Conan. His is only one site that can introduce you to REH. And he has some links to some of those sites so check him out! Beautiful fantasy art is found at April Lee, Elfwood ( a legendary site ) and Nene's sites. And April Bell and Boris Vallejo, Michael Whelan and many others --- that's going WAY beyond eye candy! Myth, fairytales and folklore are at Eliki and Folklore and Mythology Texts. And be sure and check out Chris Siren's Myth FAQ. Mythopoeic Society is for Tolkien ( great links here! ). Lord Dunsany ( found at Literature of The Fantastic ) is a favorite writer. Can you say "Imagery"? You can find about every science fiction writer at my SF links. Can you say years? Rip Van Winkle reading? Time travel? You'll need a few thousands years for all my links! If you want MY fantasy stories --- I am Cynthia Summers and the links to my sites are further on.... just down the wandering road a bit.... For works by the OTHER Cynthia Summers go to White Wolf Online for information on the Vampire Masquerade Roleplaying Games and Books. Be sure to check in on a regular basis. Also, if you write, read or play in otherworlds and know of any good links ( including your own, perhaps? ) feel free to contact me about them. I enjoy corresponding with others who love great fantastic literature of otherworlds. Happy Portals To You until we meet again.... Cynthia Summers

Would You Like To Play MY Game One Day? When I first started to write my fantasies there was no Internet, there were no roleplaying games. It's a brand new world out there for fantasy writers. And among my fondest fantasies: you bet I'd like to see thousands ( millions? Hey! Think BIG! ) playing interactive games, roleplaying games, boardgames, etc. in MY fantasy worlds! Game developers ----Yooohooooooo!!!!! Say HI!!!! Venture capitalists ---- I think I can make you a profit! Playing games is still kind of new to me. I've found some websites out there that pretain to gaming. Check em out and tell me how you like them. Hopefully one day you'll find a great gamer link and it will be MINE.
