We focus on classifying books into series and themes, and we keep a close watch on upcoming releases. Input from writers and readers is a major source of fresh information for us, and our efforts are supported by the community we strive to serve. We hope you'll find what we do useful in your reading journey! (More about us + how to help us grow.)

Kindle Releases at SciFan
While earlier ebook readers left us (and most readers) wanting, it seems Amazon.com has a winner with its Kindle wireless device. Sales are apparently higher than anyone expected, and releases compatible with the device abound. If you look at our ongoing coverage of new sf&f publications and sort it by format, you'll see that we already have extensive coverage of Kindle ISBNs. Sophie here at SciFan is really thinking of buying one in the months to come.

In Six Words: Scifan Keeps Growing
These last six months have been quite busy for us. Among other things, we've moved from Portugal to Chile where we're now nicely settling down. Here's a treat you might enjoy: very short stories (33 writers. 5 designers. 6-word science fiction.)

They Live!
When all but our most hardcore fans were probably giving up on us, we've finally fixed our new & forthcoming section. Thanks to the people who kept supporting us, you can now enjoy again our database in all its freshness (we kept the database up to date all along, it's just the presentation in the news section that didn't work anymore).

(Yes, we admit to being fans of John Carpenter's 1988 movie They Live - come on, it's fun!)

SciFan as of August, 2006
First, we're still alive and very much maintaining this site's database. However, I didn't make much progress with the site's always forthcoming new version. It's still stalled, but it's still going to happen eventually. I'm working on it here and there when my demanding start-up day job and family obligations allow. Technical help (see below) would still be appreciated, though the helper should be quite technically proficient and very cheap, so that's a lot to ask. The project is not very easy to hand over in its current state because of database structure changes.

Also, we've finally fixed our contact email link. Apologies to all the people whose emails bounced. We're now receiving emails again. Damn those spamming flooders.

Thanks for your continued support, and we hope SciFan still proves useful to you in its current, imperfect state.
