Fanfiction
Anime
- Akabeko Fanfiction - A Ruroni Kenshin site with some really good fanfiction.
- Anipike - The Anime Web Turnpike.
- Fanfiction.net - The one of largest collection of fanfiction anywhere on the internet. This is a link to the anime section.
- Kaiphantom's Fanfiction - I did some beta reading for this guy. He has some pretty good Ranma 1/2 fanfiction.
- RK Dreams - I love this woman's Kenshin fanfics. I've beta-read for her a couple of times, and let me tell you, her stuff is fantastic. The forums seem to be dead, though.
- Twoflower's Fiction - This guy is responsible for the best work of English Slayers Fanfiction ever written. I'm not kidding. All of his writing is superior. I highly recommend the Slayers Trilogy and Unreal Estate.
Harry Potter
- Fiction Alley - A pretty good sized Harry Potter fanfiction archive, with a good forum community.
- Fanfiction.net - The Harry Potter section of ff.net. You can sort fics by rating, length, and characters. Beware: there's no quality control.
- The Sugar Quill - A good HP fanfic archive, with lots of Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny Fanfics. No Harry/Hermione here, sorry.
- Checkmated - More R/Hr fanfiction here. Also some H/G, and even a little bit of D/G.
- The Harry Potter Lexicon - If you want to write your own fanfiction, this is the best place to start looking for information (short of going through the books with a few thousand post-it notes).
- PhoenixSong.net - An H/G Fanfiction archive, with nifty forums. The successor to Gryffindor Tower (may it rest in peace).
- Sink Into Your Eyes - SIYE is another H/G fanfiction archive, but doesn't have quite the quality control that PS.net does. It still has some good fics, though.
Computer
Web Design
- The CSS Zen Garden - A demonstration of what CSS can really accomplish. An excellent site for learning CSS by example.
- PHP.net - PHP is a server-side scripting language for developing web sites. It's like ASP, but free. The manual is a great resource for developers.
- Template Power - The PHP template engine helping to drive this site.

Web Comics
- College Roomies from Hell - My favorite online comic. Written by Maritza Campos, it tells the story of six college students as they struggle with love, life, mutations, and calculus tests.
