Free Speculative Fiction Online este o adresa web unde gasiti listate cu link-uri exact povestiri science fiction free, oferindu-se de la numele autorului si cel al povestirii, dupa cum era evident, si antologia sau revista in care a aparut, urmand apoi si anul in cauza.
Este o adevarata oaza a scrierilor de scurta intindere si nu numai. Avem prezenti scriitori ca : Daniel Abraham, Brian W. Aldiss, Poul Anderson (nu mai putin de 12 link-uri), Isaac Asimov, Paolo Bacigalupi (mai nou, unul din preferatii mei la scurta intindere), Kage Baker, J. G. Ballard, Jay Lake, Stephen Baxter ( 11 link-uri), Elizabeth Bear (19!!), Greg Bear, Charles Stross, Jeff VanderMeer, Alfred Bester, Paul Di Filippo (17!!!- un alt scriitor pe care-l urmaresc cu interes), Samuel R. Delany, Gordon R. Dickson, Orson Scott Card (6), A. Bertram Chandler (9), David Brin (10), Lois McMaster Bujold (2), etc
Site-ul mi s-a parut foarte bine structurat avand rubrici speciale in care sunt listati autorii, sunt prezentate povestiri nominalizate sau castigatoare ale premiilor Nebula, Hugo sau World Fantasy Awards, plus alte link-uri si adrese folositoare.
