Welcome to Sci-Fi Fans Online! (Formerly
Star Wars Fans Online)
Founder
Janell Ware at
Phantom Menace Premiere
Sci-Fi
Fans Online is an internet-based group of fans who meet offline
periodically for special events. The group was started in
1993 by Janell Ware Schiffbauer as part of the AOL Star Wars
Online Fan Club, which hosts online trivia games and chats.
During an online chat meeting, a small group of us decided
to meet in person at Disneyland. It was a huge success!
Word of mouth spread and our numbers grew. Internet
friends from outside AOL asked to join up. In
1997, we formed "Star Wars Fans Online" to include our members
from across the internet. Because of our group's diverse
science fiction interest, In January of 2001 the name of
the group was changed to "Sci-Fi Fans Online".
We meet at conventions, movie openings, and area amusement
parks a few times yearly, coordinating information via Email
and the internet. Since our humble beginnings, some
of our escapades have received media attention worldwide.
Attendance at some events has topped 100 people. We are
perhaps best known for the big Star Wars premiere costume
parties at Mann's Chinese Theater in Hollywood.
The
Sci-Fi Fans Online web site is both the nerve center for
coordinating upcoming activities and the official archive
for past events. Convention/event schedules, photos, a member
gallery, and links to related sites can all be found here.
I
hope you enjoy your visit to the site. If you're interested
in joining, be sure to check out the "Join!" page.
Feel free to EMail
me with your comments or questions.
