The Art of Loveta Strickland - this is a site I did to showcase my mother's art.

The Hugo Awards official site; not to be confused with the World Science Fiction Society listed below, which administers the ballots for each Worldcon.

The Internet Speculative Fiction Database - perhaps the most comprehensive online collection of information concerning author bibiliographies, magazine contents, and statistical listings of SF & Fantasy stories available.
