3. What other fannish newsgroups and mailing lists are there?
uk.people.sf-fans is a newgroup focusing on science
fiction and fandom in the UK. upsf is a good place for
announcements and discussion of club and pub meetings in
the UK. As of August, 1999, the newer upsf group has far
less message traffic than rassef. rec.music.filk is for
discussion of filk music. There's also a whole
rec.arts.comics.* hierarchy.
Timebinders is a mailing list for people interested in the history
of sf fandom, but also carries a fair amount of other fannish chat.
To subscribe to the Timebinders mailing list, send mail to
LISTSERV@SFLOVERS.ORG with the command
SUB TIMEBINDERS YOURFIRSTNAME YOURLASTNAME
SMOFS is a low-traffic list that deals with convention-running.
To get on smofs, send mail to smofs-request@sflovers.org.
However, you should not join this list unless you have some
experience with or interest in con-running. It's not a general-purpose
mailing list. Please include some information about yourself (for
example, what concoms you are or have been on) with your
subscription request.
The newsgroup alt.fandom.cons is deprecated, along with the rest
of the alt.fandom.* groups, since rec.arts.sf.fandom has
essentially replaced it. However, there is no mechanism for
removing an alt group, so it will probably be with us for a long
time, and some people like the fact that there's very little
traffic on alt.fandom.cons.
