It was in September 1997 that the first incarnation of Sci-Fi Heaven stumbled onto the internet. Containing a list of Starfleet ships, a guestbook and some forums, the site grew and grew. There have been ups and downs, but we’re still fighting strong and better than ever! And so,...

Forums Launched
posted by Chris McQuillan
We haven’t had a forum system for about seven or eight years, but we’ve decided that the time is right to add the capability again. Quite a few people over the last few months have asked why we don’t have one, and whilst they’re becoming less common, it seems that...

We’re Looking For New Writers
posted by Chris McQuillan
Fancy yourself a bit of a Sci-Fi Guru? Do you spend your life on Reddit, finding new and intriguing bits of sci-fi news and gossip? Maybe you just like science? Perhaps you’re just a dab hand at gadgets and gizmos. Whatever your poison, we’re interested. We’re looking to expand and take on some new freelance writers. The position is – at present – unpaid, although if enough content gets put online, and our revenue increases by enough, then this may well be revised. Most importantly, you’d be joining a small, quirky and very pleasant team who love to chat and discuss sci-fi. If you’ve got a...

Thank you for your patience over the last 48 hours. We are now back up and running, with some higher quality hardware behind the website. This should prevent future slowdowns during periods of exceptionally large traffic. The transition wasn’t as smooth as we might have liked, but...
Site Downtime

Apologies for the recent site downtime. This was due to a technical error at our hosts who were migrating servers. At some point during this process, several database user permissions were lost. These have now been repaired, and the site is fully functional once...

Brief Downtime

Apologies for any annoyance caused by our downtime this evening. The site went down shortly after midnight BST due to a WordPress tweak going catastrophically wrong. Thankfully, Sci-Fi Heaven’s Emergency Technical Response Team responded with Skype-Powered Recovery Plan B,...
Shameful lack of rec...

I'd like to apologise for the absolute drought of updates plaguing SFH in the last fortnight. This is in no small part due to my moving house (indeed, actually moving country).
The process is now complete, and for the most part I'm now opening hailing frequencies from sunny Durham, in the north of England (see picture).
Now that the transition is smoothly complete, I'm hoping to get back into the groove here with regular updates and often unwanted opinions.
This is just the kind of clear-the-air update I really, really want Guns N' Roses to make re: the supposed upcoming release of Chinese Democracy late-November. Please, Axl, if you're reading: follow my example.
