There's a whole new universe opening up online for the SFF genre
using the Internet's new RSS technology. But what the heck is RSS,
how do you get it, and why should you care?

Hewitt
(Nj) Author's New Novel To Appear As Online Serial
With about 60 titles already published on both sides of the Atlantic,
award-winning NJ author John Grant thought he'd seen every way there
was of his books being published ... but he was wrong!

site reviews from the comfort of his warm den in the Highlands.

Demons
In Skirts?
A fine collection of web sites for the new year, including some
Scottish fantasy and horror; lake monsters, ruined castles, kelpies,
vampires, and men in skirts. What more do you want?

Dreamers
Of Dune & Star Wars Trailers
Web sites that get as fanatical as a Fremen over Herbert's Dune,
and a new trailer to download for the sequal to the Phantom Menace.

The
Big Revu
If you like the odd Revu or two – or should that be reviews
– of various SF books, then there is a new site on the block.
It uses frames, but does it so well that our review team decided
to forgive them.

Killing
Stars
The November SF/F web site round up finds a number of great new
online offerings, from e-books to a fab new science fiction magazine
in PDF format. The good news is that the first issue is free. Yippee.
The bad news is you’ll have to pay for all the other issues.
Boo-hoo.

Manga
Fantasies And Fantasy Manga
Another selection of web site reviews culled from the many new entrants
into our science fiction/fantasy search engine. There's a bit of
online manga action to wet your whistle too.

Would
You Pay To See The End Of This Damn Movie?
Here's an interesting wheeze to get you to pay for SF and horror
movies over the web. Give you the movie for free, but charge for
the ending. Will you pay, or will you walk?

First
Hugo Award For Websites - Yipee
The Hugos are the Oscars of the SF world. It's taken a while, but
they've finally got around to including Web Sites among their glittering
Awards. The bad news is, this new award might be bestowed on some
lucky site for a single year only.
04/2001
X
Files And Trek Files
Here's a quick round-up of what's new on the SF/F internet. It's
a posse of web sites - looking at subjects as diverse as Trek subtext
& Farscape, to the famous artists behind fantasy art. And we've
also got some great new Quicktime trailers you can download for
a dozen forthcoming blockbusters - from Planet of the Apes to Lord
of the Rings.

Reds
Psst, dear reader, we've got a nice block of real estate on Mars
going cheap. Fancy buying a condo on the Red Planet? Bags, we get
the one with the cool view over the Cydonian face and pyramids.
Yes, this month's web site of the month allows you buy up a hunk
of territory on another planet.
01/2001
Stone
Trek
What do you get when a world-class animator decides to hack Star
Trek and the Flintstones, and create a fantastic cartoon series
of dubious legality? Why you get Captain Jim Kirkstone in Stone
Trek, of course. Have you got Macromedia Flash? Then get animated
over here, my sci-fi chums.

The
Web's Winter Season - SF On The Web
There's some major new SF/F Flash cartoons and animated series showing
only on the web. We round up a herd of the best ones for your edification.
11/2001
Spy-Fi
Ah, come in Mr Bond, we've been expecting you. Site of the month
for October is the Spy-Fi Archives - everything from Get Smart to
the Men from UNCLE. It's got everything apart from a fluffy white
cat to stroke in a menacing manner.

Galaxyonline
Launches A Celebrity Corner
Those GOL guys just don't know when to quit. The newest site on
the block launches a science fiction celebrity zone with more than
a few familiar faces online.
10/2000
Starship
Regulars
There's a new web-only sci-fi cartoon series in town. We have seen
it and it is fantastic - not doubt aided by the fact that it's been
created by one of the brains behind the Simpsons. Starship Regulars
is the name, and soaping the ordinary lives of lowly starship crew
is its game. How can you resist?

Galaxyonline
Launches A Writer's Corner
Galaxy Online's editor, famous author Ben Bova, is full of joy over
his new online fiction section. But will you be happy with it?
09/2000
Andromeda
Hercules's oiled-up star Kevin Sorbo is making the great leap from
high fantasy to high science fiction in the new TV series Andromeda.
It's from the mind of Star Trek's creator, Genre R. Now that we've
discussed the series' pedigree, let's talk about their web site.

Galaxy
Online
Galaxy Online wants to bring broad-band fantasy and SF magazines
to a web-site near you. But are you ready for film-like broadcasts
over the Net?
07/2000
UFO
Insurance
Are you worried about being abducted by aliens. Or perhaps you would
view being kidnapped by UFOs a little like a cheap package holiday,
but with less sun and larger? Then brush off the rectal probe and
head for your nearest corn circle, because this is the site for
you.
05/2000
Space
is Dum
There's
a new web-only cartoon SF series called Space is Dum. It reminds
us of Ren and Stimpy with a touch of South Park gross. Brush off
your browser's Macromedia Flash plug-in, & get your wobbly butt
over to the portal of pleasure that is our sci-fi & fantasy web
site directory.
04/2000
SpaceWars
SpaceWars was the very, very first arcade game. Two ships duelling
mano-a-mano around a black hole. Now you can play this puppy online
in Java - using the original source code no less.

Yousa
Talking Like Jar Jar Now
If you have harboured a secret and dirty lust to talk like that
arch-funkster, Jar Jar Binks, than we have got a language program
for you, one that will make you the envy of every Star Wars groupie
from here to Hoth.
12/1999
The
Star Wars Personality Test.
And the best site submitted to the SF search engine for November
is (drum roll please). The Star Wars Personality Test. Take the
test and discover if you are a Yoda-kind of guy (or girl) -or perhaps
you lean more towards the dark side, and your Star Wars twin is
Darth Vader?
11/1999
Alien
Writings Found
Want a font from the movie Aliens, how about Battlestar Galactica
or the Babylon 5 typeface? Our explorers have been lucky this month.
Have we got a site for you, full of shareware sounds, pictures,
fonts and various similar goodies.
