SFX 121 column, "Interzone: Goodbye and Hello"
27 October 2004
For obsessives only! Cloud Chamber 29 (July 1984) is the latest of several mid-1980s issues recently scanned and uploaded. Alas, there are still gaps.
26 October 2004
A new area of the site is declared open: Miscellany & Lists, where I hope to deposit the fruits of various small listing obsessions.

Adding new terrors to compulsive list-making: Langford Bibliography Central
14 June 2004
A Day in the Life ... Dave Langford (1982 article, uploaded 2004). Yet again this is all the fault of Kim Huett, who transcribed it from an elderly fanzine.

Ansible 202 (May 2004), with:
Eastercon report supplement
Chris Priest's guest of honour speech
30 April 2004
Unique Aspects of British SF (1979 article, uploaded 2004). Yet again this is all the fault of Kim Huett, who transcribed it from an elderly fanzine.

Cloud Chamber 147 (February 2004)
5 March 2004
Time to start a page for my short SFX reviews of 2004, beginning with Alastair Reynolds's Absolution Gap. I've added my brief SFX obituary of Hal Clement to the 2003 page. In the process I came across a forgotten 2001 feature for the same magazine -- Pierre of the Apes: On Pierre Boulle.
4 March 2004

22 January 2004
SFX 110 column, "Bottoms Up!"
18 January 2004
Cactus Times Volume 4 -- the newsletter of Mexicon 5 (May 1993) -- fairly pointless and esoteric. But someone just sent appreciative email about Heliograph from the same year's Eastercon, and it is fatal to encourage me....
9 January 2004
Ansible 198 (January 2004)
My story collection Different Kinds of Darkness is now available!
