OMNI has always been in the forefront of technology with regard to the contents of the magazine, so it was a natural progression to be in the forefront of technology in the actual means of its publication. She also edits the annual Year's Best Fantasy and Horror anthology. She spoke with us about OMNI's move online, trends in the science fiction and horror worlds, and gives us a sneak peek at OMNI's exciting new redesign of the website's fiction department. We had already started making the move to electronic publication with our aol site and the internet site. The problem is there's so much junk on the web because it is so very accessible.
Every company wants to have a website but they have no idea what to put there.
So a lot of these sites that do nothing will close down. In the nonfiction area this means edgy and entertaining science. And for my area, the fiction we want to become the hub for the sf, fantasy, and horror comunity on the net. We're having a great time with the medium and as we learn more about the Web, the site evolves. We're in the middle of a fiction redesign from top to bottom that we hope will be up by early-mid September.
