A busy day today.
Tangent Online – which has published reviews of short genre fiction for 14 years – is “closing shop permanently March 1, 2009, unless someone steps forward to host the site.” This notice was given on a SFF newsgroup.
The website itself says they are on sabbatical “while we give the site a new look”. This was posted September 2007.
So, is anyone interested in hosting Tangent Online?
