Catherine Fisher's Incarceron: The twist here is that the other world was created as a giant prison. (Note that my sci fi sensibilities were offended by the mechanics until I accepted that this book is really fantasy with a sugar coating of sci fi.) Also, the story follows characters on both sides, but no one really crosses over until near the end.
Jame Stoddard's The High House. Earth is barely touched in this one (it really only plays a role near the beginning) but the High House does connect it and other fantastic lands.
Between Two Worlds (http://www.between-two-worlds.net/). Fairly straightforward portal story, although the other world is mostly uninhabited and the wish fulfillment, if there is any, doesn't really go their way. Also one of the few webcomics that I've actually seen finish rather than merely stop.
