So, I’m taking History 17A (from about the time of Columbus all the way to 1877) as an online course. For the last three days I’ve been writing two essays for this class, and that’s my first midterm (apparently I have two midterms plus a final). The essay topics are about slavery in the Chesapeake [...]

A new CD by Blackmore’s Night called Secret Voyage is coming out soon (though I got sick before I could post this and so it may be out already). I managed to get my hands on a review copy from Victor of Special Ops Media, and of course the deal was to write a [...]

I came out of the theatre stunned. Simply stunned. Hands down, this is the BEST BATMAN MOVIE EVER. This movie is nine kinds of awesome. Yes, really. Okay, more than nine kinds but here are the nonspoiler versions.
1: Heath Ledger IS the Joker.
2: Aaron Eckhart IS Harvey Dent
3: Maggie Gyllenhaal IS Rachel Dawes (she should [...]

My husband runs a game called Exalted. It’s a great role playing game and in many ways is a story of tragedy. You have the power of gods but all the exalted have been cursed. The Great Curse over time changes your greatest virtues and twists them into something else.
So, Kenlon is a fabulous Game [...]

In case you ever wondered why movie critic Roger Ebert is one of the kinder of the mainstream media critics toward science fiction and fantasy, wonder no more. He’s been a fan for decades, as attested to a May 4, 2008 entry in his blog:

Where have I been? Or at least, why didn’t I notice this before? My husband and I have a sizeable collection of music. So when iTunes popped up with a song I didn’t recognize I thought, what’s this? Of course I go and look. It was called “Yoru no Melody” by Origa. It was nice. [...]

Whilst reading and commenting on the Hancock movie review it occurred to me that with our current inconsistent rating system that FanDominion readers, especially those with children, may want something a bit more consistent. Thusly I will share with you a rather spiffy website that I find useful.
It is called www.kids-in-mind.com
They have three categories to [...]

I was surprised at how well this movie turned out. I was not certain whether or not Robert Downey Jr could pull off being Iron Man. I knew he could play a jerk and honestly still had Heart and Soul pictured whenever I thought of him. So other than the being a jerk part, Iron [...]

Well, we’re still in “beta” stage here at FanDominion – not yet ready for prime time. But it’s getting closer every week.
In the past 30 days, we’ve accomplished quite a few things:

Complete site redesign from a one-person blog to a Fan-based news zine.
Added many features that made it both writer and reader friendly.
Used as [...]
