Thanks, GITSfan. io9 is a great site, I've featured their articles several times in Saturday Hot Links. Surprised there are not more fantasy websites. What about magazines and journals?

Fantasy (/Speculative Fiction) Magazines: Apex Magazine Beneath Ceaseless Skies Clarkesworld Magazine Crossed Genres Magazine Crowded Magazine Daily Science Fiction Fantasy & Science Fiction (F&SF) Grantville Gazette: Universe Annex Lightspeed LORE Penumbra Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show Shock Totem Strange Horizons TM Magazine Tor.com (their blog is also worth looking at) UFO Publishing: Unidentified Funny Objects Wily Writers Speculative Fiction Duotrope.com lists these as magazines that pay pro rates for fantasy fiction. I'm using that as a shortcut for "good fantasy magazines" but if anyone has a better method or a better list, please comment! (Note: Many have a broader mandate of "speculative fiction", and thus include horror, sci fi, etc., in addition to fantasy.) Workshops Hatrack River, the official site of spec fiction author Orson Scott Card, includes a free spec fiction writing forum, Hatrack River Writers Workshop, hosted by Kathleen Dalton Woodbury.

Great list from Shaula. Publication from Paizo (used to do D&D mags, til Hasbro brought Wizards) might be appropriate to add, Adventure Path, has fiction of D&D nature: http://paizo.com/pathfinder/adventurePath
