It is also the web hosting for notable science fiction and fantasy authors such as Guy Gavriel Kay and Charles de Lint and magazines such as Fantasy and Science Fiction. It hosts a science fiction discussion forum and RSS feed. In 2002, it won the Locus Award for best science fiction webzine,[3] and in 2000 The Mammoth Book of Best New SF described it as one of the most important genre-related websites on the internet.[4] Zachary Houle wrote in the Ottawa Citizen in 2001 about SF Site, "Over four short years, it has become a big player in broadening the appeal of speculative fiction — the SF referred to in its name" and said, "The site is also highly regarded by the major publishing houses, which generously lift quotes from the site's reviews for book-cover blurbs".[5]

In December 2013, SF Site suspended production of regular twice-monthly updates, due to declining advertising revenue.[6]
