Europa SF Closing
Europa SF
, the “Pan-European Speculative Fiction Portal,” announced that it will shut down effective December 20, 2019 after seven years of providing English-language news and information covering European fandom. In a Facebook announcement, they cited hosting costs and portal maintenance as the main reasons, and are asking for anyone interested in taking over the portal and domain name to contact them.
[via File770. Edited 12/19/2019 to add the following:]
Cristian Tamas announced that new management has been found and Europa SF will relaunch in 2020 with a few changes. (See comment below.) The new management currently prefers to remain anonymous. Europa SF’s website and Facebook page will not experience any interruption in service during the transition period.
While you are here, please take a moment to support Locus with a one-time or recurring donation. We rely on reader donations to keep the magazine and site going, and would like to keep the site paywall free, but WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT to continue quality coverage of the science fiction and fantasy field.
Dear Locus,
Thank you for mentioning EUROPA SF.
In the mean time, a solution was found, EUROPA SF will be relaunched in January 2020 under a new management.
And please do not forget that we need your help.
We intend to establish a network of english language proficient correspondents. Any actual news/infos concerning Speculative Fiction/Fantastika will be appreciated.
