Discussion of written science fiction and fantasy.
A group for discussing the general SF which is seen by its audience in
written form, whether printed or online. Note that many more specific
groups in rec.arts.sf.* exist to pull some traffic from this group,
but in general, this is where new releases are discussed, informal
reviews given, continuity topics discussed, authors compared, and is
the starting point for many threads which should eventually be moved
to more appropriate groups. (Please cooperate when the call is put
forward to move a discussion to a more specific group.)
