Ender’s Ansible (ENDERSANSIBLE.COM) is an Ender’s Game fansite and news resource for the movie and book series. It was founded on June 30, 2011 by a fan of the Enderverse who wanted the latest Ender-related news to exist on a single website. In November 2011, Ender’s Ansible partnered with The Philotic Web (PHILOTICWEB.NET).
The Philotic Web was founded exactly 10 years prior to Ender’s Ansible on June 30, 2001 (the date is a happy coincidence). A fan wrote to Ender’s Game author, Orson Scott Card, asking permission to use quotes on the website and OSC gladly gave his permission saying that he was flattered someone would want to devote that much work to his characters. After a countdown on OSC’s website, Hatrack River (HATRACK.COM), The Philotic Web opened to the public and OSC became the first person to register in the forums. The Philotic Web quickly grew to be a handy news outlet, Enderverse information library and forum. Over the years, The Philotic Web has helped OSC with a variety of projects such as the Authorized Ender Companion. The website has also been acknowledged in Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Ender in Exile and the Authorized Ender Companion. Unfortunately, The Philotic Web had a server crash in 2001, and again in 2006. After 2 server crashes The Philotic Web recovered as a forum full of passionate Ender fans.
Since Ender’s Ansible and The Philotic Web became partner sites in 2011, the two websites have helped to foster the Ender’s Game community. Together they have worked on publishing Ender-related movie and book news, exclusive interviews, podcasts, fan art, encyclopedia and more. The two websites URLs are sometimes shortened to Eric + Phoebe.
