What is the Plenty?

In the Liveship Traders, The Plenty is the world of the sea serpents, the space beneath the border of the Lack. The name was chosen for this site to reflect the richness of Robin Hobb's work, the amount of her fans worldwide... and I wouldn't complain if the old naming magic would work and the content be plentiful too. :D

history

This site started as a very small "fanlisting with news" kind of shrine. It was opened 17th of March 2003 and the Robin Hobb fanlisting on April Fool's Day 2003. It was first hosted by Tina at ~~just-dreaming.net~~. September 13, 2004 The Plenty was moved to my own space and got its own domain name, http://www.theplenty.net. November 4th 2004 saw the conversion of the fanlisting maintenance script to Enthuasiast. On April 12, 2006 the fanlisting was moved to a subdomain and accompanied with a separate fanlisting for the Fool. Since then the site has continued to grow, especially after I installed the mediawiki script so that now visitors can add and edit content as well.

The graphics used on the buttons are parts of John Howe's cover illustrations. Here are the conditions John Howe has set for using his artwork on web sites. I believe this site meets them.

The photographs used on the buttons were taken by me at the Finncon04. I kindly ask you to update any old codes with Hobb's pictures to make sure we are not infringing anyone's copyrigths here. Thank you. :)
