Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Refimprove Otto Witt (1875–1923) was a Swedish writer. He was one of the prominent figures in early Swedish science fiction. He did, among other things, publish Hugin, a science magazine which was filled "with speculative articles and fiction".<ref name="ma">Template:Cite book</ref> Hugin was one of the first magazines to regularly carry science fiction in the world, although it appears to have had little influence outside Sweden.<ref name="ma" />
Hugin
Hugin was published between 7 April 1916 and 15 January 1920.<ref name="TuckHugin">Template:Cite book</ref> The schedule was in theory fortnightly, though it was in practice plagued by delays and published irregularly.<ref name="TuckHugin" /><ref name="SFESweden" /> It ran for 85 issues, though many were double- or triple-numbered, making for a total of 65 individual issues.<ref name="SFESweden">Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref><ref name="SFEOttoWitt">Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref> The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction describes it as a "popular science magazine [...] which included some short sf".<ref>Template:Cite encyclopedia</ref> It has been described as an early science fiction magazine, for instance by Swedish science fiction critic Sam J. Lundwall; US science fiction scholar Sam Moskowitz rejects this characterization, writing that the proportion of science fiction to non-fiction content was so low (some issues containing no fiction at all) that it does not even count as a fiction magazine.<ref name="SFEOttoWitt" /><ref name="Moskowitz1986SettingTheRecordStraight">Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref> Swedish science fiction critic John-Henri Holmberg, in The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, similarly writes that describing Hugin as a science fiction magazine "is greatly overstating the truth" as the bulk of the magazine's content consisted of non-fiction.<ref name="SFEOttoWitt" />
