Week 6!

Assignment 1


Discoveries on the Street Fiction include: this site has a great section just for Christian Urban fiction and also divides the fiction by the city where the book takes place. And not only are there titles listed under Maryland, there are also titles for Baltimore and DC.  It also breaks it down into different topics ranging from abuse to trials.  It's a good database that's well organized and easy to use.


Assignment 2

The Prezi was impressive!

Assignment 3

Finding fan fiction is hard!  But here is what I have so far...
Horror-gothic
Western - Native American          https://sites.google.com/site/oldwestwateringhole/sub-genres-1
Stories told from the Native American perspective, and often provide historical information into the culture of the old west. 
Authors:  Tony Hillerman is one of the great western authors and often writes from the Native American perspective.

Science Fiction - Cyberpunk        http://bestsciencefictionbooks.com/cyberpunk-science-fiction.php
Offers some great information regarding all kinds of science fiction books, including cyberpunk, and also offers lots of lists of great titles of the this genre. 
Hallmarks of the genre include: Science is a huge deal with Cyberpunk, technology, all kind of cyborgs, and cybernetics all play a huge role in Cyberpunk.  Also important is the changing relationship between hunmanity and technology.

Authors: Cyberpunk  William Gibson  Gibson is considered the father of cyberpunk with his title Neuromancer

Fantasy Fiction - Comic  I went to http://www.fantasy-fan.org/ and looked around; this is a great site, but didn't have what I needed. There is also  http://www.sfsite.com/home.htm which is also a very good database.  Still searching!
