Revision as of 03:12, 9 January 2014
Everything2, (a.k.a Everything, a.k.a E2) is a cross between a Wiki Tropes and a massive multi-user Blog.
Each page of Everything2 is called a "node". A node is just a title - a topic for discussion or elucidation. Attached to the node are "writeups" - written descriptions, essays, anecdotes, fiction or poetry on the subject of the node.
A node without any writeups - that is, created in anticipation of some other user's writeup - is called a "nodeshell". It is surprisingly common practice for some noder to create a bizarre, contrived node name[[hottip:* :for instance, [[http://everything2.com/title/Your
(This explains those occasions where a node's title proclaims one opinion loud and clear, but has a corresponding writeup that has a more reserved opinion of the subject.)
Also contains categories- lists of collected nodes sharing a like premise or theme.
Home to such fiction series as New York Magician, Fine Structure, and the Metro City Chronicles.
Contains examples of:
- Abandoned Hospital: "The Blacke Asylum"
- Adjective Noun Fred: [[http://everything2.com/title/Why
- Adventures in The Bible A proof in time. It doesn't end well for the time traveler.
- After the End: Many stories, including an entire Category listing After the End related writeups. Some examples of fiction include:
- If I'm right, you'll be here to read this any day now. An Apocalyptic Log as the world is being destroyed in a sci-fi-ish Ragnarok
- The Penguin Game.
- Alternate Reality Game: Of a sort, and often unintentionally. The site hosts both fiction running the gamut from wildly fantastic to Slice of Life, and bloggy anecdotes which tend toward the strange-but-true. With a lot of entries, it's hard to tell which one it is, and even on the more unlikely fiction entries it lends an ARG-like feel.
