Elbakin.net is a French website created in 2000, dealing with fantasy in all media (books, illustrations, comic books, films, TV fictions, games). It is one of the main Francophone information websites dedicated to the fantasy genre. Since 2006, the main contributors to the website formed an eponymous association (under France's 1901 law on associations) which manages the website and undertakes cultural actions in the same field. In early September 2000, three fantasy lovers, namely Raphaël Cervera, Jean-François le Gac and Emmanuel Chastellière, launched a website, Elbakin.com, resulting from the merger of their individual websites. At that time, Elbakin.net was mainly dedicated to the universe of The Lord of the Rings and its film adaptation by Peter Jackson, then in production, and the website made itself known by relaying information about the film adaptation. After the release of the trilogy, the website was dedicated to all aspects of fantasy. More information...
