FANFICTION.NET
Samples of fanfic for virtually every TV show, movie and book series with a fanbase with time on its hands. Emphasis on "sample" -- if you're serious you're better off looking for a dedicated site. Well known for its reliability, in the sense that everyone knows you can't rely on it.

CFAN
Comic fanfic portal site, maintained by the biggest BNF (in the favorable sense of the term) you're ever likely to come across, Kielle. "Bloody huge" does not begin to describe it. Do not visit --- no, strike that, you don't merely "visit" CFAN. Do not click the above link unless you have at least three days (more, if you want to sleep) to spare.

ANTIWAR.COM
Do not adjust your set. It's supposed to be grey. (Actually, turn the bloody thing off. I've yet to see a decent TV news report on this.)

PROJECT CENSORED
Because sometimes that freedom of speech and the press you Yanks brag about so much just isn't free enough.

NEED TO KNOW
Brit Geek humour, high-tech, vicious sarcasm, weekly news email with all of the above.

POP BITCH
Is to music and Hollywood what Sick, Sad World is to quality current affairs. I only read it because it's so pathetic, honest...

THE CHASER
"Australia's only satirical newspaper", apparently. "Striving for Mediocrity in a World of Excellence", according to the copy I picked up from the one newsagent in Adelaide that carries it (a stall on King William Street outside the GPO), and perhaps succeeding rather too well. It's not bad, but not in the same league as, say...

THE ONION
The original and best satirical news service. More prominent link added because their post-WTC issue (dated Sept 26) is a must-read. Funny, and most importantly, thought-provoking. As in, think before you nuke Afghanistan back to the Stone Age? Oh, wait, never mind, too late, Brezhnev already did that...
