What's New - Updates and Additions

Luminarium has grown to over 5,000 pages. With the recent addition of Risa Bear's Renascence Editions, which now finds its home here, the site is large, to say the least. More files, texts, and encyclopedia entries are being added to Luminarium almost daily. Furthermore, existing materials are being updated, broken links are being fixed, and a new framework for the site is underway. During the overhaul phase, the site will no doubt look very uneven in design — apologies!

As you can probably imagine, it can get quite overwhelming for a single person. If you have expertise on a given author or subject and would like to contribute a biography, research such as essays and articles, or ancillary materials, please contact me. Luminarium has benefited greatly from the contributions of several generous scholars in the past; the major contributors are acknowledged in the "Letter from the Editor."
