(ex Vheckans Ävfentyr/Fanytt) Science fiction/fantasy /fandom news.
Scandinavia's leading sf newsletter , ed Ahrvid Engholm, ahrvid@xxxxxxxxxxx -
also on Twitter as @SFJournalen, for even faster and more news! (Now near 3000
Followers!) The Calendar is for now moved to the writing list SKRIVA
skriva-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, subj: subscribe. You can also order SFJ as a PDF
or EPUB (as well as our fan-fund info-PDF). Spring 2012
EDITWITTRIALLY
To make it simple thish is an edited selection of @SFJournalen's newstweets
since dec (when #211 came). SFJ has been on Twitter ca 1 year but stepped up
its activity lately. Of course there's only room for the most important of the
500+ tweets since dec. And despite some editing U (=you) have 2 (=to) endure
the Twitter speak, w (=with) abbr («briviations) like Sw (=Swedish/Sweden) & RT
(=Retweet, resending of another tweet). @name means a person/institution has
that Twitter name. # is a hashtag. To make eye scanning easier main words in
the news are bold. News are in reveresed chronological order and if date is
relevant, it is added. Twitter seems to serve SFJ well as a fast and reliable
news medium and if you want to stay in touch with Nordic sf/f/h you're
recommended to Follow @SFJournalen. If you want more info on how Twitter works
+ list of Swedish sf/f/h tweeps try our info posting SveriTwitter

only). --AE
Rumours says there may be a season 2 of the SVT robot series ?Äkta människor?
