What is DauntlessMedia.net?

DauntlessMedia.net is setting a new standard for content-specific websites. It is a collection of websites dedicated to the thorough examination of modern myth. Much like Joseph Campbell sought to uncover and analyze the interconnectedness of ancient cultures and mythologies, DauntlessMedia.net will seek to uncover and analyze the interconnectedness, the mythos, of modern stories.

To that end, DauntlessMedia.net has established a number of websites dedicated to specific mythologies, such as Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica, Indiana Jones, Transformers, Star Wars, Lost etc. More sites will be added as part of an ongoing process to develop a comprehensive basis for our explorations. And through a series of critical analyses and reviews, these sites will establish a foundation on which we can build our future explorations of modern myth.

The History of DauntlessMedia.net

DauntlessMedia.net has had a presence on the internet since December 2003. The site started off as a message board called “The Adventurer’s Club” at DauntlessMedia.Net. Back then, it was a collection of forums centered on the theme of adventure movies, books, television shows, games and music. A front page provided updates, previews and reviews.

Since then, the site has seen a number of changes, including a move to a new domain name (adventurers-club.net) and an e-zine publication (adventure-chronicles.com). A number of very good people were involved in both projects, and I would like to thank each and every one who volunteered their creativity, energy and time in the pursuit of those endeavors. Your efforts have not gone in vain. Rather, they have inspired the rebirth of DauntlessMedia.Net.

As of August 2007, the site has returned to its original domain: dauntlessmedia.net with a new vision. The original mission remains the same: to provide reviews, commentary and more about a wide variety of books, DVDs, games, music and graphics. But instead of forums with a front page for reposting news found elsewhere on the web, DauntlessMedia.Net is now a network of websites — each with their own focus.

The center, or hub, of the network is this site, which provides a wide array of reviews, creative writing, and articles in a blog format, as well as content-specific pages. There is still a message board, in case anyone is interested in more open ended discussions. But unlike the past, the main priority of DauntlessMedia.net is not its message board, but rather its network of content-specific websites.

Of course, DauntlessMedia.net is a work-in-progress. With a number of websites and pages already created, more will be added in the months and years to come. In addition to the websites and pages, articles will be published on a continuous basis to provide the most comprehensive coverage possible.

But this new vision has already experienced success:

• 2008 - October: The article, Gemini Division and the New Frontier was published, featuring an exclusive interview with Brent Friedman, who is credited as Lead Writer, Executive Producer, and Creator of NBC.com’s hit webseries, called Gemini Division.
• 2008 - May: DauntlessMedia.net’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull soundtrack review, was featured on the front page of jwfan.com — the preeminent John Williams fan site.
• 2007 - December: The Star Trek: The Next Generation website was a top ten Google search result for “tng reviews” — not bad for a website that is only four months old.
