Looking for a fansite to keep you updated and interested with anything you see on my blog? Here are a few of my favorites:
Harry Potter Franchise
Snitch Seeker Perhaps my favorite, Snitchseeker is a forum centered fansite that is always the first to be up to date on everything Harry Potter. The forums make it easy and fun to comment on the recent news, as well as offer other amenities, such as roleplaying and book reviews. To check them out on twitter, follow @SnitchSeeker. And if you find any news about Harry Potter, or have questions about upcoming events, @Snitchseeker on twitter is usually excellent at answering questions or taking comments about the Wizarding World.
MuggleNet Mugglenet is a fantastic site for someone looking for a site that tells you what you are going to want to know (and not bog you down with stuff you really don’t care about). Notable is Mugglenet’s commitment to keeping its viewers updated instantly with its two twitter accounts: Mugglenet and @MuggleNetLive
The Leaky Cauldron I absolutely adore Leaky Cauldron because I feel like their news is always well thought out, organized, and relevant. Additionally, if you are interested in a sort of role-playing but are not looking something as in depth as what you’ll find on Snitch Seeker – then the Leaky Cauldron is the site to join. You can join a house, compete in a House Cup, and create a Hogwarts character. Follow @Leaky on twitter. Also noteworthy is their excellent podcast: PotterCast (which, incidentally, also has a twitter – @PotterCast
Feltbeats.com An absolute must for any Tom Felton fan, Feltbeats.com is the most popular and successful Tom Felton fansite. Focusing on all aspects of the young actor’s career, Feltbeats is an excellent source of news for Tom’s new music, pictures, and news relating to Harry Potter. And with Tom Felton being such an avid tweeter himself (@TomFelton) it seems only right that Feltbeats has a twitter: @Feltbeats. What makes Feltbeats so spectacular however is that because of their continued dedication to everyone’s favorite blond bad-boy, Tom Felton himself is a regular correspondent with the site and twitter account. That’s pretty awesome.
Star Trek
TrekMovie is a Star Trek related fansite that gets a hold of so much trek related news, I consider it to be one of the premiere Star Trek sites. Despite its name, TrekMovie is not dedicated only to the most recent movie – but rather to everything in the Star Trek franchise. In addition to the news, TrekMovie creators also offer weekly essays and posts related to something-or-another sci-fi (such as Sci-Fi Fridays). A trekkies paradise. Sometimes, the news is a little less than relative, but rather more news than none. Trekmovie, as you can imagine, also has a regurally updated twitter, @TrekMovie. Note though, that the twitter owner does add in a little bit of his personal flair every once in a while.
