Fantasy idea...

[Andrew111888]

Myself and one of my co-administrators at TAC are planning on opening another site, this one about Fantasy books of all kinds, such as The Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, First Wizard's rule, etc.

Anyway, I am going to be doing most of the design. Most likely it will contain an "ancient" kind of feel, like earth type colors, rock, swords, etc.

What do you think of that kind of look? Also, we are in need of a domain, if you have any ideas... it has to have fantasy in it, though.

I've tried fantasyonline.com, fantasyfans.com, fantasyfanatic.com, and fantasyfanatics.com. Besides these being taken, they are also unoriginal. Any ideas?

[vB3Dev.Com]

The color scheme sounds good.

As for a domain, I own WritersClub.Com

[vB3Dev.Com]

Have you tried fantasybooks.com if it is available?

[Andrew111888]

Yes, it's taken.... now I'm trying to decide between blue colors, or green colors, or darker like black and blue with white text...

[vB3Dev.Com]

Don't go to dark, it will keep older people (30 and up) away...

Something in the navy blue would be ok I'd say.

I love the Sword of Truth series, you can expect me to be a regular visitor! If you need help, be sure to ask :)

I would believe the name should also provide a ancient sort of feeling, nothing like fantasymania, or fantasyfanatic. EWWWW :p

[Erwin]

Try fan-tasy.com - the Fantasy Fan Site. :)

[Andrew111888]

Thank you very much Erwin, I'll talk to my co-admin about that one:) Simple, and easy.

Arunan.S, I'm on the Stone of Tears, it's a great series indeed:) I'll also probably work on the colors and layout tomorrow, my co-admin Bram is the bigger fantasy fanatic than me.

I have finished the whole series, even the Pillars of Creation :) I got the whole series.

[Andrew111888]

I have it too, I just recently started it. It put the final stage of totally changing my mind set.

[rylin]

If you'll be covering Wheel of Time, Shanarra, Deathgate CYcle, Dragonlance, Sword of Truth, Farseer trilgy, Covenant chronicles and tad william's stuff, you can probably count me as a regular visitor ;)

It will probably be for all fantasy stuff.:)

If you'll be covering Wheel of Time, Shanarra, Deathgate CYcle, Dragonlance, Sword of Truth, Farseer trilgy, Covenant chronicles and tad william's stuff, you can probably count me as a regular visitor ;)I just finished the two Covenant trilogies last week. I had read the first trilogy many years ago and decided to reread it. After finishing it I bought the next three books and jumped right into them. As good as the first series was, I thought the second one was even better. I was sad to reach the end and realize there was no more of 'The Land' to look forward to.

I think I'll look into that series, it sounds good.:) Sword of Truth is most definitly worth reading, too.

[boutwell]

Just an FYI here on the Goodkind series: The Pillars of Creation is no longer the latest :)

The Naked Empire was released a few weeks ago now :)

[boutwell]

Oh, and btw, I would probably be a regular vistor as well :)

[Andrew111888]

We will probably get content first, once I talk to Bram I will see.... anyone willing to help with that? I'll have a better idea of what we're looking for by 6-630 pm est.

[mfinc]

Buddy you got a number of vistiors lined up. With great advertising you will have a geat community. I am already looking forward to this. If you need any help just private message me I can eiter find someone for you, or advise you ;)

[phill2003]

ahh for a fantstic read and some thrills you wont go far wrong with the necroscope series and the vampyre series from brian lumly........

[Andrew111888]

All righty, this is what we have lined up.... will have it all SET up by tonight I reckon.

Domain name: www.fan-tasy.com (Thanks Phil for buying it, and Erwin for thinking of it!:))
Hosting: From Trent's pbwebs rackshack servers (Thanks trent!:))
vBulletin license: Check (Thanks Phil!:))
Content: Bram has emailed some friends, and we're looking for anyone willing to help with that (will post later tonight once i get a clearer idea of what we're looking for)

Thanks guys!
Andrew

[Andrew111888]

Okay....

The first kind of content we're looking for is a decent list of fantasy books along with a plot/book description and descriptions of all the main characters.

[rylin]

Write me up for Deathgate Cycle ;)

[Andrew111888]

We don't write anything up, we just have the content emailed to us now and credit what user did it so when it goes into our database it can be credited to the member:)

[Kathy]

Funds can be added with a store with books, action figures, etc...Amazon.com recently updated the way you can create a store on your site using their products and their checkout.

Just an idea for you as you work towards how to add some funds to the project.....

Sounds like a great idea!

[Andrew111888]

I've never been able to have an intelligent discussion on books at any forum I've been to, it's always "u r so st00pid 4 reeding u homo":rolleyes:

[Kathy]

And as my mom used to say to me....

Honey, those guys will one day call you "boss".

;)

Keep reading Andrew. Books are the shaper of who you will be.....expanding the imagination of all the possibilities.

[Erwin]

Glad to be able to help with the domain name. ;) It's a good name - I'm surprised no one else thought of it.

Any David Gemmell books would be great for me. Drenai Tales... I love 'em. :)

Thanks again Erwin.:)

In any case, for your safety, I have registered it on your behalf. Let me know how I can transfer it to you at no charge.

[Ogden2k]

Lord of the Rings will be a part of your site right?

[Andrew111888]

ogden, yes, LOTR will definitly be part of our site.

Awwwww! Erwin, What a wonderful thing to do for Andrew. :applause:

Erwin is VERY nice.:)

PM me when you're ready, and I will change the domain name details over to you, then you can get your current registrar to transfer it over to you.

Or I can make a new eNom account for you, and push the domain name into your account. Whatever is suitable.

Next time, register a domain name immediately, as there are many lurkers here - you don't want someone to register it and sell it to you for a ridiculous price. :)

Hey will "A Song of Fire and Ice" series be part of your site. That is my favourite series yet. I urge every single person into fantasy books to catch them, I got 3 books of the series, its something that does not follow your average map of writing, your hero will beheaded, your villain will become victorious in some battles its just great!

:)

[Andrew111888]

Every fantasy book can be discussed, I am not sure though what ones we will target specifically. Lord of the Rings for sure, dunno about any others.

[Ogden2k]

If you need any help with your new forum that deals with LOTR let me know. I would be very willing to help out! (Possibly HTML coding, moding, posting, anything).

[mfinc]

If you need a little background info about "A song of fire and ice" I can help out there :)

[Andrew111888]

We have domain and hosting taken care of, and tgillespie is making us a design:D After the design is complete, we'll need some content and such... we're getting there:)

Thanks to everyone who has/is helping!:D
