First of all, you do not need to register in order to read the LASFS website

You can wander all over the website, read all our content, without having to register. You need to register only if you want to contribute new links, reviews, eavesdroppings, or other content to the site.

To register as a contributor to the LASFS website, please read the following carefully:

To become a contributor, you must email This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
Give the following information:

• Your real or fannish name
• The username you want
• The password you want
• Your connection to the LASFS or organized SF Fandom, or, if you are not already connected with organized SF Fandom, why you are interested in contributing to our website.

Generic "I saw your website and was interested" messages will be ignored; you must say something that shows that you took a few minutes to read the website or that you are familiar with LASFS or SF Fandom.

Why do I have to go through all this rigmarole?

In early October of 2010 we started getting hundreds of bogus registration attempts from robot spammers, so I have disabled self-registration for the LASFS website.
