		Amber was focused on the beam of light and saw only the edge of the object it came out of, which appeared elliptical and glowing to her as well.

	Amber (fictional realm): Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The fictional realm of Amber is the setting for the Amber fantasy novels by Roger Zelazny (and for the Amber diceless role-playing game game they inspired).
		In the Amber stories, Amber and the Courts of Chaos are the only two true worlds; all others, including our Earth, are but "shadows" of the tension between them.
		Royals of Amber (as well as equivalent Chaos nobility) can freely travel through the shadows and alter them, but they cannot do so to Amber itself.

		Argentium by Iain Walker - Amber is destroyed, Oberon rules in Chaos, and the Elders and their Children live at Corwins Pattern.
		Obviously Amber has a currency, and given its close trading ties to shadows across the Golden Circle it is quite likely that it will have long ago replaced any local currencies which may have once existed.

	Review: Accelerando by Charles Stross
		The author is postulating inhabitants of their fictional world that the reader is, by definition, incapable of understanding.
		Normally, science fiction thrives on description, extrapolation, and explanation, but since the Singularity is incomprehensible, there is no hope of a pay-off through final explanation of the world after it.
		Amber is an excellent character, Stross's future speculation is genuinely interesting and hangs together well, and his style and the constant references to information theory and ubiquitous computing create the sense of alienation, of looking at the world in new and fresh ways, that characterizes radical technological change.

	Amber Throne War Auction Page
		In Amber, attributes are not bought in the normal manner of simply spending points or rolling dice.
		In Amber or the Courts of Chaos, you're a hopeless cripple, who can be pimpslapped at will by almost anyone.

		The Realm of Sand is a bizarrely configured shadow of constantly shifting substance and energy.
		The Society of the Realm is relatively simple -- perhaps the only part of it that is. Ruled by a council of seven (each member representing one of the seven elemental forces), no other law exists.

	Parallel worlds. - The Hyperspace Forums
		Often the alternate worlds theme in science fiction is framed by postulating that every historical event spawns a new universe for every possible outcome, resulting in a number of alternate histories.
		It should be noted that the division between science fiction and fantasy becomes fuzzier than usual when dealing with stories that explicitly leave the universe we are familiar with, especially when our familiar universe is portrayed as a subset of a multiverse.
		By extension all of fiction in general could, by this reasoning, be occurring in an "alternate reality." While this definition might be useful in some critical contexts[citation needed] a more generally useful definition restricts the term to fiction where there are alternate realities presented in the work itself.

		But again: Fiction is an art form, and the majority of readers consume it for entertainment.
		There is, and always will be, a major slot for brain candy—the fictional equivalent of fast food, not very nourishing in the ideas department but comforting to munch on.
		Fiction, because it's an art form we spin for entertainment, is dangerously preoccupied with heroic exceptionalism.

		Although many nation states now have laws prohibiting rape, low rates of prosecution and relatively lenient punishment of rapists are an indication of the refusal of nations to acknowledge the full implications of such acts.
		Feminists have attempted to shift violence against women from the realm of private trauma to the public sphere, pursuing acknowledgement of men's violence against women as a systematic form of oppression.
		We are invited to view Yano's act of violence, for example, as stemming as much from his suffering through the trauma of internment as from his sense of entitlement to his wife as property, and this understanding complicates our view of him as solely a victim of the trauma inflicted by the Canadian state.

		Descriptive, vivid, and well detailed, The Amber Room ably employs the plot device of the amateur "spy" caught way over his head in a realm of political intrigue.
		The real mystery of what became of the Amber Room is fascinating in its own right, but this fictional tale is also worth reading.
		The Amber Room is my kind of thriller -- a globe-trotting treasure hunt packed with exotic locales, sumptuous art, and ruthless villains.

		Numerical, descriptive, and fictional entries are given for all six of the city's Attribute categories, plus a Blue Book entry for the city; there is also a brief writeup of a character (without Attribute fiction entries but with a Blue Book entry).
		That the game is thin in terms of original setting material cannot really be considered a flaw, given that the whole purpose of the game is to let players and gamemasters come up with settings of their own.
		As part of the object of the game is to create fiction that the other players and GM can enjoy reading, any player can look at any book (except for the private portions of the GM's Red Book) at any time.

	arthritis pain relief - Metafiction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Metafiction is a kind of fiction which self-consciously addresses the devices of fiction.
		It can be compared to presentational theatre in a sense; presentational theatre does not let the audience forget they are viewing a play, and metafiction does not let the readers forget they are reading a work of fiction.
		Metafiction may figure for only a moment in a story, as when "Roger" makes a brief appearance in Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber, or it may be central to the work, as in Tristram Shandy.

	Margaret L. Carter - Dark Changeling
		While I can enjoy a traditional undead, evil, delightfully terrifying vampire if done well, I have a special fascination with fiction that gets into the mind of the "monster" (in quotes because many contemporary vampires turn out not to be monsters in the traditional sense).
		Also, the vampire, to me, has an exotic sexual appeal similar to that of Spock or any other not-quite-human, mysteriously aloof and powerful but potentially vulnerable creature, with whom intimacy will be hard to achieve but very rewarding when attained.
		And the erotic symbolism of blood in the vampire's feeding/lovemaking (overlapping or even identical for most fictional vampires, which is how they differ from the undead of legend) has always attracted me.
