Some of what I've written as a journalist never made it onto the internet, or has not survived into the current incarnation of the web; but these three online publications have extensive archives that include everything I've written for them.
Science Fiction Weekly
Originally Craig Engler's independent science fiction news and reviews site, Science Fiction Weekly ("SFW") is now the comprehensive and definitive online newsmagazine at scifi.com, the web site of the cable channel SCI FI. SFW reviews just about anything that has to do with speculative fiction, from books and DVD to games and music. I once contributed regularly to the classic book and film section.

Five Minute.net
FiveMinute.net ("5M") is Zeke's TV/movie/video-game parody site, specializing in boiling down hour-long episodes and even longer fare into wickedly concise five-minute satires. 5M started out as "Five Minute Voyager" and originally concentrated on components of the Star Trek franchise, but the site has expanded over the years and now covers a broad variety of material. I was the 5M Section Head for Doctor Who, one of my favorite series.

Agony Booth
The Agony Booth is Albert Walker's bad movies site. Unlike many online trash movie clearinghouses, which content themselves with brief summaries and highlights, Agony Booth specializes in extensive recaps of the entire film at the play-by-play level, with biting color commentary throughout. The bast part of this is, after reading one of these recaps you feel like you've watched, say, Armageddon without having to suffer through the actual film yourself. "The Agony Booth," Albert explains, "is an ongoing inquisition into some of the worst movies humanity has to offer, and is not for the weak of spirit or the easily disheartened. However, if you think you have the fortitude to completely immerse yourself in a truly awful film, withstanding in-depth commentary and analysis, then the Agony Booth is the place for you. As Mirror Spock would say, you may just find it to be a most effective means of discipline."
