This article is from the Science Fiction Fandom FAQ, by Vicki Rosenzweig vr@panix.com with numerous contributions by others.
Discussions of written science fiction (novels and short
stories) are in rec.arts.sf.written. Discussions of movies and
television are in a number of places, including
rec.arts.sf.movies, rec.arts.horror.movies, rec.arts.horror.tv,
rec.arts.sf.tv, rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5,
rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.info, rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated,
rec.arts.sf.tv.quantum-leap, rec.arts.comics.other-media, and
arguably rec.arts.sf.starwars.info and rec.arts.sf.starwars.misc,
and probably a large number of alt.* groups. If you want to be a
science fiction writer, you might want to read
rec.arts.sf.composition. Announcements of science-fiction-related
events (radio programs, author readings, online discussions, etc.)
go in rec.arts.sf.announce, which is moderated, and may be
crossposted to one of the other rec.arts.sf.* newsgroups.
For more information, check rec.arts.sf.announce for
the regular posting "Rec.arts.sf groups, an introduction."
