What is a fanlisting? According to TFL.org, "a fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join."

What does this fanlisting cover? All of the books in the Enderverse are included in this fanlisting. From the Ender saga we have Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. From the Shadow saga we have Ender's Shadow, Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, and Shadow of the Giant. All were written by Orson Scott Card.

Why "Lucky End"? Well, the original name for this fanlisting was going to be "The Enemy's Gate Is Down" - a reference I'm sure everyone understands - but it seemed too specific to Ender's Game, and while this fanlisting does cover that book, I wanted something that could tie in with the other ones as well. And so I chose a short excerpt from Petra's message in Shadow of the Hegemon:

Share this dragon,
If you do
Lucky end for
Them and you

As explained in the book, "end" is a reference to Ender. And so I thought this would be the perfect choice - there's still an Ender reference, but the quote itself is from a Bean book. And even if someone didn't quite make that connection immediately, well, the layout is still quite Ender-specific, so the message gets across. ;D
