Activities
The society produces a journal, Ragnarok, featuring industry news, articles, and game and miniature reviews. A newsletter, Nastrond, was also circulated to members, and a number of specialist groups within the society have produced their own newsletters. The SFSFW's convention is called Bifrost, which has not been held since 2006.
The society operates an electronic mailing list and has a web site where more information and articles from past issues of Ragnarok can be found. In 2009, the society started to make issues of Ragnarok available to non-members as purchasable PDFs via Wargame Vault and to expanded their online activities via a blog, Facebook, and Twitter.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
