I have generally avoided offering up a million and one links, but every now and then my heart is full of the giving spirit and I must share.
Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Novels, is an excellent source of romance novel reviews in honest, unvarnished (sweary) language. I only found this site today, but I love it already.
All Music Guide - I use this site all the time. I found it a little easier to navigate before their redesign, but it is still fantastic. I can get overviews and information on bands I know, and bands I don't know. I really like how they offer up information on what artists may be similar, and what sounds influenced what, etc. I also really dig the song reviews (only offered on select songs). It is a great resource for making myself feel less stupid when reading mp3 blogs where everyone is talking about some seminal band that I've never heard of before. As I said, I use it a lot.
Buffyology "Every Buffy character, episode, cast member, writer and director and every word of every show, in a searchable database." Is there more to say? Only that it is a thing of beauty! If you think it is too obsessive, I click my tongue and shake my head in your general direction. It is WONDERFUL. I haven't made much use of it yet, but I rest easier at night just knowing that it is there.
Advice For Writers by Will Shetterly. Nothing that I haven't read in bits and pieces in other writing books, blogs, and articles, but nowhere have I read it presented so clearly and so simply.
