Webpage of the very talented author of Unicorn Jelly and Pastel Defender Heliotrope, Jennifer Diane Reitz. An extremely imaginative person who's made lots of interesting things, mostly science fiction. The website's been around for a while and has a veritable amount of old internet lore. A rabbit hole you won't regret going down.

One of my favourite websites of all time. It's an archive of dreams by Chris Wayan, illustrated in his surreal and trippy art style. It reminds me of Elfquest. He's also got a section of his website called Planetocopia which catalogues a number of incredibly detailed fictional planets described with their geography, climates, ecosystems, plants, animals, sapient races and all that. It's also worth noting he goes out of his way to actually paint globes of his planets and cuts up barbie dolls to make alien centauresses, it's wild.

A bestiary of fantastical beasts from North American folklore, which I find is a very underrated mythology that hasn't seen much use, even within its own country. Which is honestly a shame considering the USA's media output, but I guess vampires and werewolves will always be more marketable than agropelters and hidebehinds.

The above, but Japanese.



Absolutely massive webstie storing megabytes of old pulp novels in PDF format. Has a sci-fi section. One of the most comprehensive i've seen. Far more accessible and easy to navigate than archive.org.

All about that vintage sci-fi written before the moon landings which are set in versions of the planets in our solar system that're inhabited because we didn't have any way of proving they weren't until we sent up the probes. Home to the Ooranye worldbuilding project that used to have its own website before it was moved there. which is set on a habitable Uranus where the natives believe in teleology.

Religious, mythological and philosophical texts from pretty much every culture on the planet. Includes all sorts of wacky magical stuff by relatively-modern (19-20th century) occult societies and new religious movements. Very fascinating. Infinitely valuable resource. You won't find it anywhere else in one place. Highly recommend.

Likely the most unhinged high-effort shitpost I've ever seen in the form of club penguin fanfiction stuffed to the gills with meticulously detailed history, culture, geography and politics. Absolutely deranged and full of late-2000s humour. Now it's more or less abandoned and there haven't been regular updates since the late 2010s.

Another artist I find quite fascinating is Carl Miller, also known as Cloudmonet. He's on this list because just like Reitz, he's a living anachronism. How often do you find an author who's written poems about his time in Hawaii during the Early 80s... who also writes Kim Possible fanfiction? That's like a rennaissance painter who's drawn comics for marvel! He's also drawing a science fantasy comic called Molly Blue which I appreciate for its calming, simple artstyle.

An website dedicated to the works of Mike Moon. It's part worldbuilding project, part personal website, and part art website. The webmaster really gets into the whole "catgirl" thing, puns and all. Admittedly I find it bit much to get used to, but it really adds to the site's identity. On top of that it's been updating monthly since the early 2000s, with news and announcements set on the fictional Catgirl Island. Surprisingly one hundred percent SFW.

A website about what the Unarius Academy of Science calls the Interplanetary Confederation. It focuses on what Uriel did after having made contact with each of their constituent worlds. Very psychedelic, very trippy, and very surreal.
