camelot
    Contact: camelot-request@castle.ed.ac.uk (Chris Thornborrow)

    Purpose: A new mailing list on the subject of Arthurian legend and
    Grail Lore. The 'Matter of Britain', as it is known, in all its
    guises and all related subjects will be discussed in an
    unmoderated mailing list.

    Camelot is a forum for discussion of all Arthurian fields of
    interest.


dark-shadows
    Contact: shadows-request@sunee.waterloo.edu (Bernie Roehl)

    Purpose: Dark Shadows was a daily soap opera that ran on ABC in
    the late sixties (ending in 1971).  It had a Gothic feel to it,
    and featured storylines involving witchcraft, vampires, werewolves
    and the supernatural.  It was (appropriately enough) "brought back
    from the dead" by NBC for a single season last year. It also
    spawned two feature films, a series of paperback novels, and lots
    more; the series is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
    There are a number of international fan clubs for the series, but
    so far there has been no newsgroup or (electronic) mailling list
    devoted to it.  Now there is.


deryni@mintir.fidonet.org

   Deryni is an unmoderated list for the discussion of the works of
   fantasy author Katherine Kurtz.  While discussion will most certainly

   to all of Ms. Kurtz' novels and short stories.

   To join this list, send a request to:

      deryni-request@mintir.fidonet.org

   Submissions to the list should be sent to:

      deryni@mintir.fidonet.org

      To create an environment where Works In Progress can be passed
      around and criticized so that the author can find the weak spots
      and polish the manuscript into a salable work.

    The group has handled mostly Science Fiction, Fantasy, and related
    genres, but is not restricted to them.  Membership is open to
    anyone who has in interest in writing fiction regardless of
