Everything2, Everything2, or E2 for short, is a collaborative Web-based community consisting of a database of interlinked user-submitted written material. E2 is moderated for quality, but has no formal policy on subject matter. Writing on E2 covers a wide range of topics and genres, including encyclopedic articles, diary entries (known as "daylogs"), humor, and fiction.

Difference from Wikipedia

  • E2 is not NPOV. E2 is about as far from NPOV as it's possible to get. Some noders feel disappointed to read a factual article and not find some sort of opinion or conclusion at the end of it. Wikipedia is the place to report the news; E2 is the place to comment on it. Wikipedia is box office numbers; E2 is passionate (or damning) reviews. Wikipedia takes a balanced perspective; E2 takes a stand for one side or the other. Provided they meet the aforementioned high standards, all these things are welcomed and encouraged. [1]
  • Wikipedia demands sources and prohibits original research. E2, on the other hand, is THE place to post original material, original research, pet projects, pet theories, personal anecdotes, advice, poetry, and (perhaps most significantly) fiction - even lies. (All provided, once again, they are well-written.)[2]
