Xenite.Org: Worlds of Imagination on the Web has been entertaining fans of science fiction and fantasy film and fiction since March 1997. Not only are we one of the oldest science fiction and fantasy sites on the Web, we’re one of the oldest fan run scifi sites, and we’re just plain one of the oldest sites on the Web . You’ll find our latest articles below. You can use the menu above this page, the search box in the sidebar, or the links in the sidebar to browse our site.

Sad News for Fans of Christopher Tolkien Christopher Tolkien Has Passed Away Latest Middle-earth Blog Post What Do We Know about the Black Serpent of Harad? EXPLORE XENITE.ORG Since 1997 we have created many sections or sub-sites on Xenite.Org, each one dedicated to a specific topic. We’re always adding something somewhere. Here is a sample of some of our most popular Websites. MIDDLE-EARTH BLOG AT XENITE.ORG Launched in mid-2011, the Middle-earth blog at Xenite.Org has become one of the Web’s most popular Tolkien fan sites. Xenite founder Michael Martinez has published several books about Tolkien’s Middle-earth and he is well-known. His articles about Tolkien and Middle-earth have been published on many Websites and quoted in newspapers and magazines around the world. We strive to publish new articles every month and we occasionally break some interesting news, although the main focus of the blog has been to answer fan questions about J.R.R. Tolkien and his fictional world. Click here to read the Middle-earth Blog . HUCKLEBERRY WILD Michael launched Huckleberry Wild in 2007 after exploring western Washington State and finding great places to buy huckleberry products. The Website has proven to be one of the most popular sections on Xenite.Org ever since. Even science fiction fans love good food. If you appreciate wild blueberries then you must try huckleberries, but be aware there are many species of huckleberry around the world. The ones that berry-lovers prefer most come from northwestern North America. Click here to visit Huckleberry Wild . SCIFI MOVIES PORTAL There are so many great science fiction and fantasy movies it’s impossible for a real fan site to keep up with them all. As far back as 1997 Xenite.Org has been publishing fan reviews of great movies. In 2007 we launched a special sub-site to help visitors find all our latest articles about the movies we love. You’ll also find videos we’ve collected across the years and see the broad structure of some of the greatest movie franchises in the world. Click here to browse our SciFi Movies Portal . ANDRE NORTON’S WITCH WORLD BOOKS Xenite.Org was one of the very first Andre Norton fan sites. We also hosted the Web’s first Andre Norton fan forum until it moved to our sister site, SF-Fandom. Andre herself visited Xenite and we heard she was quite pleasantly surprised by the devotion of her fans across the world. Andre Norton broke new ground as a science fiction and fantasy author and also as a woman publishing stories in what was for long seen as “a man’s world”. Her books inspired some of the great science fiction and fantasy writers and franchises you’ll be familiar with, including the “Stargate” movies and TV shows. When you fall in love with a fictional world where magic is real, magic users are powerful, and the races are ancient, you’re feeling Andre’s magical influences across the generations. Many popular stories about lost galactic civilizations and time travel owe something to Andre as well. In 2019 we moved our dedicated Andre Norton content to this special sub-domain. Visit our tribute to Andre Norton . THE COMPUSERVE IMPS There was a time when the old CompuServe dial-up service was larger than the Internet. At its peak in the 1990s, and just prior to its sale to America Online (AOL), CompuServe had about 7 million members. Although a small number compared to today’s Internet population of nearly 2 billion people, CompuServe was for a while the heart of the online universe, overshadowing other services like Genie and Prodigy. The CompuServe IMPs were young writers waiting IMPatiently to enter the SciFi Forum’s writer’s workshop, which was operated by three professional science fiction and fantasy writers. Mike Resnick became the writers’ group unofficial mentor and coach. The IMPs critiqued each other’s stories and created a friendly, non-competitive environment where new writers could learn and hone the skills they needed to become “published” writers. And many of the early IMPs went on to sell short stories and full books to traditional publishing houses. Xenite.Org founder Michael Martinez joined the IMPs in the early 1990s and he built this Website to memorialize their achievements. He remains in contact with many first-generation IMPs today. Learn more about the CompuServe IMPs here . SF-FANDOM SCIENCE FICTION COMMUNITY FORUMS Launched in 2001, SF-Fandom took on the mantle of hosting the older Xenite.Org forums, which had become too popular for our hosting plan. Through the years forum members have shared their thoughts and news about conventions, books, movies, TV shows, fan organizations, history, science, and more. Some of our pioneer members have moved on from this life, including co-founder Dixie Harrison and long-time Andre Norton fan and friend Paul Goode, but we remember and honor their contributions. Anyone can read the forums but free registration is required to reply to or start your own threads. The forums are moderated: we don’t allow off-topic promotions or personal attacks against people.
