Fandom (from the noun fan and the affix -dom, as in kingdom, freedom, etc.) is a term used to refer to a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of sympathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest.

Oscar prediction time! You are voting for what you think will win, not what ought to win, and there are some extra categories beyond the big six so it's not as easy to predict.

People frequently reference the IMDB's top 100 movies, but it doesn't work as well for TV.
However, popping over to TV.Com's Highest Rated SF shows and placing them in an ordered list of the top 30, I figured that this should cover enough ground to cause an argument.
In order to keep the figures straight please click an entry in both lists - that's why there's a "not on this list" option on both of them...

A variety of critical approaches/viewpoints will be encouraged.
Potential authors are asked to submit brief proposals (max. 250 words) for chapters by 1st March 2009. Final chapters (max. 6,000 words) will be due by 1st August 2009. Please send proposals to sjbradshaw@mac.com.

| New Gollancz reissues |
[Dec. 10th, 2008|07:18 pm] |
      
From Gollancz next year, six new reissue covers, and there's a new addition to the SF Masterworks list, which is out now. The Heinlein is a mini-hardback that matches their last addition to the list, Frank Herbert's Dune... but I'm sure we'd all like some new titles, not just more migrations from the Masterworks hardback series.
Gollancz takes an experimental and often brave approach to their bookjackets: for instance the covers of the recent Greg Egan reissues (e.g.) are all particularly nasty and deliberately un-pretty. But how do they work as cover designs? And do they actually help or hinder in selling the book?
