Main Page

SFnal allows you to explore details and connections between aspects of literary Science Fiction. The authors, awards, conventions, clubs, fanzines and fans. Items have descriptions, maps, photo albums, timelines, powerful filters and targeted searches.

Part of the Expounder family of websites, it does not host much original content, but uses Wikidata as a backbone to display Wikipedia and Wikimedia data and link to other sites in a friendly fashion.

Read about Intervention, a 1997 Eastercon in the United Kingdom whose guests of honour included Dave Langford, or read about his Ansible fanzine.

The site is a work in progress. If authors are missing, its probably because they are not in the Science Fiction Encyclopedia or ISFDB. For conventions, fanzines and fans, its probably because they aren't in Wikidata yet. Comments on site functionality to webmaster John Bray, errors in content can be fixed by editing Wikidata.

It has 12,747 pages on 8,785 people, 269 classes, 4 subpages, 186 areas, 1,192 events, 64 organisations and 1,942 publications.
