Because of problems with spammers, it was necessary to set an editing password. Charles de Lint fans should not have a problem with this: it's Jilly's surname, all in lower case letters. If you can't figure it out, please email me at Librarius AT thewordwood DOT com.
Welcome to the Wordwood.If you found your way onto this website, you are very likely a Charles de Lint (aka "CdL") fan. If not click on the "Charles de Who?" link and find out more about him and his books. If you're unfamiliar with the whole concept of Wiki, you could do a lot worse than to click on this: WikiWikiWeb and find out more for yourself. In a nutshell, the idea behind this Wordwood Wiki is that you as visitors and fans can edit the pages in this website and help create something similar to Charles de Lint's "Wordwood" website from his Newford novels. The idea behind this particular website was born on LiveJournal (LJ) in the CdL fan community. The ingenious Heather ("callwolf" on LJ) had the idea to collate a list of all characters in CdL's Newford books and publish this on the Internet, along the lines of "Six Degrees of Newford", to find out how all the characters relate to each other. Quickly, a new LiveJournal community was born, and eager fans volunteered to make notes of all characters while reading the books.
In March 2012, the domain "thewordwood.com" became available and Librarius snapped it up, redirecting it to the website you're reading now. This website is fully reliant on us - its users! It will grow with your input and die if you neglect it. There is a slim chance that it will take on a life of it's own, like its namesake thewordwood.com in the novels and stories - who knows? But it is more likely that we will have to fill it with content ourselves, slowly and hopefully steadily over weeks, months and years. Again, welcome to the Wordwood. We hope you will become part of this project and enjoy helping create a Real Life Fantasy!!! Before you start entering the WordWood (see links on the left), please have a read through some of the basics about the more technical aspects of this project. Books

Last but not least, if you're afraid of making a mess of it all, you can always practice editing pages in the WikiSandbox. |
