Description

This article is from the Rec.arts.sf Groups Introduction FAQ, by Leanne Phillips with numerous contributions by others.

4. What mailing lists are there for similar topics? (Speculative Fiction)

Good question; I don't know, for the most part. But I'll be adding them
as people tell me about them, and I believe there's a posting that lists
them, that I'll try to get permission to use.

SF-LOVERS@sflovers.rutgers.edu (SF-Lovers Digest)
Moderated, medium-to-high traffic. This is gatewayed to/from
some of the newsgroups: .written, .tv, .babylon5(.info), .movies,
.reviews, .announce, .fandom, and .misc all feed into the Digest,
while .written, .tv, .babylon5, .movies, and .misc are gatewayed.
(There are actually a collection of lists.)
For subscriptions or questions, send mail to:

sf-lovers-request@sflovers.rutgers.edu.

smofs@sflovers.rutgers.edu
SMOFS deals with convention-running. A low-traffic list.
To get on smofs, send mail to smofs-request@sflovers.rutgers.edu. However,
you should not join this list unless you have some experience with
con-running. It's not a general purpose mailing list.

The list owner (Morgan Bottrell) must add you manually to the list.

There is a 'fantasy' list run by the same person, with the same directions
(use 'fantasy' instead of 'sf-list') - or so I presume; I wasn't given more
exact instructions.
