Generators, Library Thing and Rollyo

The generators I have looked at seem designed for no purpose other than to spit out random responses when prompted. but that doesn't make them any less fun! The one I liked the most is called Seventh Sanctum (www.seventhsanctum.com), which gives out random items for science fiction and fantasy, under a variety of categories, like races, characters, magic, technology and many other things. Since I've been wanting to write science fiction and fantasy myself, this could be an invaluable tool.

Library Thing is an intriguing idea, to be able to connect with people through books. It's also a good source for keeping track of the books you've read or haven't read, for future reference.

Rollyo is also an interesting concept. To be able to put your favorite online resources together into one saves you the trouble of keeping them in your favorites. The searchroll that I put together is for science fiction and fantasy books, including Amazon.com and a couple of databases on the subject that I have come across. Not much, I know but it's the best I could do on short notice!
