I'm currently writing a paranormal type book, but I do have some world building, (more specifically an "underworld" type organization on Earth), and some of this can even help someone like me. Thanks again for sharing.

This being said, the point of this post wasn't about whether science fiction and fantasy should be lumped together, but rather, to share a site that I have found helpful.
