2) Publishing as an online magazine. Online magazines were EXTREMELY new & SH was one of the very first. Lots of people thought publishing online was a terrible idea.

SH is, to my knowledge, the only online mag from those first few who’s still publishing — and thus the oldest online mag I believe!

Now that #AnnaTorv's great work on #TheLastOfUs is encouraging some folks to (re)discover the brilliant series #Fringe, I'm reminded what a joy it was to contribute the essay "In Search of Fringe's Literary Ancestors" to Kevin R. Grazier's anthology about the show, Fringe Science: Parallel Universes, White Tulips, and Mad Scientists. #ScienceFiction #TV #Books #GenreHistory
