| | | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Furry fandom - History and Inspiration Furry fandom originated as a fusion of science fiction, fantasy, comic book, and animation fandoms during the 1980s and has grown with the advent of the World Wide Web and Internet.
The term "furry" originally came into existence at a science fiction convention in the late 1970s. Then, the term was used to describe one specific genre of fantasy art. As these "furry fans" became more organized, they began using e-mail and MUCKs to communicate. Notably, one of ...

| | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Fan fiction - History Fan fiction has probably been with us since the dawn of time, first taking shape in the form of myths and folktales. Since copyright didn't exist in prehistoric times, a good storyteller could change or add to a tale any way he or she liked.
Written fan fiction probably dates back to Biblical times. An early example is the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, a series of improbable tales about the Christ Child. While he is shown doing the occasional kindness to others, for the most part he is portrayed as a superpowered brat, whose mother Mary s ...

| | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Furry fandom - Conventions Sufficient membership and interest has allowed for the creation of many annual furry conventions in North America and Europe, the largest being Anthrocon in Pittsburgh each June or July. Further Confusion, held in San Jose, California each January, is almost as large. The total number of people attending furry conventions exceeded 7,681 in 2004, a growth of 25% over the previous year. In 2005, 18 such conventions took place around the world. The first known furry convention, ConFurence, is no longer held. (Califur has replaced it, since both convent ...

| | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Fan fiction - Legal aspects According to current U.S. copyright, copyright owners have the right to control or restrict the publishing of "derivative works" based on their material, though they do not receive ownership of those works. The owner of the original work (film, TV show, etc.) therefore may have some legal power over fan fiction, though the laws as written do not address the issue directly.
Since American copyright law specifically protects parody, and also includes a provision that the specifically protected categories are not necessarily the only pro ...

| | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Greyhawk - Geography and population In the Greyhawk setting, the planet Oerth has four continents, the continent partially detailed in the campaign setting is called Oerik, and the east end of Oerik (which has been developed gradually over the last 30+ years) is known as the Flanaess. Although many home campaigns are set in or around the Free City of Greyhawk, campaigns range all over the Flanaess, most often at slightly varying points in its recent history. The Flanaess can be broken down further as follows: the Baklunish Basin in the northwest, the Empire of Iuz in the north ...

| | | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Greyhawk - Modern Greyhawk and the RPGA Today, Greyhawk remains popular with hardcore gamers, despite the fact other D&D campaign worlds have plundered numerous ideas from Greyhawk. The ever-popular Drow Elves first appeared as villains in several modules set in Oerth, whilst the deities of Greyhawk have become default gods and goddesses in Wizards of the Coast's 3E (or third edition) version of Dungeons and Dragons. Furthermore, Neverwinter Nights features many fan-designed modules set in Greyhawk, or using modules creat ...

| | | | | Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Magic ring - Function in the Story Like other magical objects in stories, magic rings serve to excuse some impossible event, which the story teller wishes to place in the plot. Normally magic rings either are used as a way to begin a plot or to end it.
In modern fantasy, roughly half the time a magic ring occurs it is used by the author as a means for the ordinary protagonist to enter the fairytale world. Roughly the other half of modern fiction, magic rings are used as a "deus ex machina", or a plot-cheat, for the author to solve an apparently im ...
