Chinese Dramas Have Been On Our Minds

If you're not familiar with #cdramas, be prepared to discover a whole new dimension to fantasy entertainment.

Stargate Has Been On Our Minds

Stargate article on SF-Fandom.Com

One of the greatest shows of science fiction television in the past few decades was Stargate SG-1. The show took audiences to new worlds but kept them grounded in the present day, on Earth as we know it, and it explored themes that are still relevant 25 years later. The loyal fanbase has been begging for a revival, reboot, continuation, or spinoff for many years.

Innovating New Ideas for Science Fiction Writers

Dr. Tony McCaffrey

After you've watched enough scifi movies and TV shows, or read enough books, you reach a point where you can name the plot point in 3 guesses or fewer. There's something to be said for a good, old-fashioned time travel story but - come on - how many good, old-fashioned stories do we need? Dr. Tony McCaffrey has set out to spur innovation among science fiction writers, and SF-Fandom is proud to help.

SF-Fandom Turns 20 Years Old This Month

SF-Fandom is 20 years old.

Let the joyous news be spread! SF-Fandom at last is ... alive and well. After 20 years of fan discussions and debates about everything under the sun, the SF-Fandom Science Fiction and Fantasy Forum Communities are going strong. But you knew that already because we recently updated the site.

It's not easy to run a Web forum. There are so many technical details you must keep up with in the background. Every time you feel like you've caught up on the hosting, software updates, other esoteric things something changes on the Web. And then you have to start all over again.

New Look and Content for SF-Worlds

SF-Worlds.Com as it looks in 2021.

Before there was SF-Fandom.Com there was SF-Worlds.Com. The first "sister site" to Xenite.Org, SF-Worlds began as a resource for entertainment news. In the 1990s the original Netscape company created the RSS format. RSS was short for "Rich Site Summary", although in the years since people have redefined it to mean "really simple syndication". The RSS format was used by many sites to publish news stories for distribution on other sites.

SF-Worlds published RSS widgets with entertainment news of interest to science fiction fans. Unfortunately, the dot-com meltdown of the year 2000 drove many experimental Internet companies out of business. The RSS feeds stopped working and we had to find something else to do with the site. Over the years, it became a repository for old articles and ideas that - for whatever reason - didn't work on other sites. But SF-Worlds has always had a loyal following.
