| Posted 10/29/2007 9:18 AM (GMT -4) |   | What it says - which zines do you read regularly (print&pay - subscription; online - every single issue the day it comes live), or semi-regularly (print&pay - the odd issue, whether boredom or depending on author line-up; online - now and then when you have time, or an author line-up that appeals to you).
Basically, a magazine that you do read and read on a sort-of consistent basis, not a magazine where you read one issue to gauge what type of stories they publish.
I'm less interested right now in the coming Armageddon/ current Armageddon of short fiction and the why thereof, nor yet another brouha about what who is doing wrong and "my well written quality is so totally better than your well written quality!" In short, I really, really don't care right now about which magazines are supposedly the best and why ABC mag is better than XYZ mag.
What I am curious about:
After reading this post by John Scalzi, where he followed on from Warren Ellis who in turn followed on from Gardner Dozois' listing of circulation figures and whatnot, I'm interested in knowing how much overlap there is between zines; which zines have similar readers, how widely/ narrowly does everyone read and to what degree print and online readers differ or overlap.
If at all.
As well as science fiction and fantasy magazines, please also list any other genre mags you read - horror, literary, mainstream, poetry journals, etc. As long as they contain short fiction.
Anthologies - a bit of a difficult one, so I'd like to restrict this mostly to the Year's Best of's which come out on a regular basis, but feel free to include original anthos if you want, or even the name of specific editors whose anthos you'd buy/ have bought this year.
Feel free to include the reasons why you picked your chosen mags if you want. Magazines that you used to read but dropped, or magazines that you would like to read but cannot at present, for whatever reasons, can be mentioned as well.
I'm only going to list the ones I currently read, highlighted ones are those mags I'll probably keep reading. Undecided yet on the others:
Print & Pay:
JBU; F&SF; Apex Digest; Shimmer; ROF (ok, well, I haven't received my copy yet, so this is jumping the gun a bit, but for now I'm a reader).
Online:
Clarkesworld; Chizine; Strange Horizons; Abyss&Apex; Lone Star; Ideomancer; Helix; Trabuco Road; Shadowed Realms (they're closing, but anyways); Alienskin; Noctem Aeturnus (scheduled to open Jan. 2008, but am subscribed to receive the issue so am including them as well).
Fantasy - am going to list them for now, since they'll be moving online soon and I have enjoyed some of the authors they've published as well as the samples provided this far, so am reasonably certain this will become a regular read for me.
