Frank, I don't think Kevin (the original poster) is seeking to have things move out of .castle but he wants a place for the type of fantasy that he does not feel belongs in .castle nor .space in the first place.

It is just as relevant to castle as Isle of Mist, and it certainly is not "so far beyond the verge of fantasy" (after all, it is usually taken as one of the definitive works of the (...)
