An exciting discussion of fantasy and its contents and discontents is going on at The Genre Files. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the future of the genre -- especially those who have become weary of the typical elves/dwarves/dragons sort of thing.

I also strongly recommend a new SFF review site called Scalpel Magazine. Its reviews are more akin to what you'd find in The New York Review of Books, if that periodical took fantasy and science fiction seriously, than to the typical internet SFF review site that basically merely gives you thumbs up or thumbs down, along with a plot summary. It's for people who take this stuff seriously. I've found myself inspired and excited by it.
