It may come as a surprise to some, but of the various web pages I maintain, the one that receives the most updates and changes is the Science Fiction Resource Guide. (It's not the one I put the most attention to, but there's a lot of new links coming in all the time.) Gareth Rees of the UK turned over this project to me in January 1995, and Blars found a quasi-temporary httpd home for it. A bunch of fans popped out of the woodwork both here in North America and overseas, offering to set up mirror sites for it, which is very nice of them, and much appreciated. The official home is at SF-Lovers, on the new www.sflovers.org site. If you have the opportunity to give out the URL, I'd appreciate it if you'd use the sflovers.org one.

Update November 1996 - I turned the SRFG over to Mats Öhrman of Sweden for 9 months, because my L.A.con III duties were too much to allow me to maintain the SFRG as well. I'm back in charge of it again now.

Update, October 2001: The SFRG's mirror sites have dwindled, which is just as well because the non-automated mirrors aren't current anyway. Saul has a new server and a new domain name for SF-lovers, and I've finally fixed the E-mail SFRG form.

I'm also a member of the Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society (LASFS). I started the LASFS Unofficial Home Page, because at the time (1994, I think it was) there wasn't an official club web site. They have one now, as of March 1997. Another project of mine, the LASFS Email Directory has been supplanted by the LASFS mailing list. The new LASFS web site includes meeting minutes and other goodies previously only available on the LASFS BBS, Cafe Nebula.
