1993: We definitely need more Frederik Pohl sites. The wikipe-dia entry [en.wikipedia.org
/wiki/FrederikPohl] is pretty barebones. Elsewhere, look for the SF Site interview [www.
scifi.com/sfw/issue240/interview. html] and a transcription of a talk [www.testermanscifi.org/
FredPohlPart1.html] he gave at RoVaCon in 1988, followed by lively Q and A.

1995: We come now to the most inexplicable gap of all. The Grand Master Award is named after
Damon Knight. The founder of SFWA and co-founder of Clarion influenced hree generations of writers
by his teaching and his writing, especially his short fiction. He was one of our best critics. Yet his
wikipe-dia entry [en.wikipedia.org /wiki/DamonKnight] is shamefully brief. There's an okay
bibliography at Fantastic Fiction [ www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/authors/ Damon Knight.htm] and we
have a website that Damon himself designed Will the Real Hieronymus Bosch Please Stand Up [
http: //www.fictionwise.com/knight]. But to understand the impact the man had on our genre, check
out the tributes on In Loving Memory of Damon Knight [www.kaats paw.com/Damon.htm].

1996: A.E. Van Vogt was fortunate to have a fan like Magnus Axelsson, whose The Weird Worlds of
A.E. Van Vogt [vanvogt.www4. mmedia.is] is just about the perfect fan site. Yes, there is a
bibliography and jpgs of book covers and some first rate criticism, but what I like best is that Magnus has
posted the first chapters of four of Van Vogt's best known novels.

1997: The place to start looking for Jack Vance on the web is Mike Berro's The Jack Vance
Information Page [www.mass media.com/~mikeb/jvm]. It's timely and comprehensive and
oh-so-well-designed. But don't forget The Jack Vance Archive [http: //www.jackvance.com] which
effectively makes the case that Jack Vance is an international publishing phenomenon.

1998: Another puzzling gap├втВмтАЭPoul Anderson remained an artistic force in the genre up until his death in
2001, but he has no definitive website that I could find├втВмтАЭthe wikipedia [en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/PoulAnderson] is short on biography and offers only a partial bibliography. About the best bio
you'll find is at The Templeton Gate [members.tripod.com/ templetongate/anderson.htm].

1999: A simple but effective site for Hal Clement [www. sff.net/people/hal-clement], the pseudonym
of Harry Stubbs, who was a fixture of the New England SF scene ever since I was knee high to an
adjective, was created by Tania Ruiz. It has photos and a bibliography and an essay Hal wrote about the
science in science fiction. There's also a very cool page about Hal at Testerman Sci-Fi Site [
www.testerman scifi.org/ClementPage.html].

2000: The Official Brian Al-diss Site [www.brianw aldiss.com/index.htm] is yet another exemplar
of what a professional writer's site should be. It's timely and generous with free content, including several
audio files. To get a sense of what Brian is really like, though, read his witty interview at SF Crowsnest [
www. computercrowsnest.com/sfnews2/03jan/news01031.shtml].

2001: Philip Jos├Г┬й Farmer [www.pjfarmer.com] gets it. Here's a first rate author's website overseen
by a first rate author. I was particularly pleased by the photos and the time line and the reading lists.

2003: Ursula K. Le Guin's [www.ursulakleguin.com] site is as thoughtful and elegant as her
wonderful stories. This is a deeply personal site, most, if not all, of which is written by Ursula herself. If
you read nothing else here, check the FAQ section. Lovely!

2004: I have mentioned Jon Davis's Quasi-Official Robert Silverberg Home Page [
www.majipoor.com] so many times in this space that I ought to be put on his payroll. This is a great site,
