Flashing Swords print magazine (which, obviously, would contain "extra" content that you couldn't get online like maybe a letters column and a writing tips column...and maybe a regular column from some of our "local" star s and s writers :wink:
 
How many of you would subscribe? If the subscription was say, $25.00 a year? The shipping is a bit of a drag, with print pubs. 
 
Send me an email or PM me.  If enough people do so, I'll start the ball rolling to get FS into print.

I'd definitely subscribe.

Would you go the route of getting non-fic, reviews, columns, etc?

Count me in. FS would make great campus reading, and I'm sure the occasional sale will be enough to cover the cost.

That's 13 -- if we stall there, that would be symbolically correct, if disappointing!

Well thank god we didn't stall at 13. Of course in Numerology 13=1+3. Which of course = 4.
4 being the number of Creation.

But really, more is better.

Tarantino himself has been forward and unapologetic about his influences. In a 1994 interview with Empire magazine, he said, "I steal from every single movie ever made. If people don't like that, then tough tills, don't go and see it, all right? I steal from everything. Great artists steal, they don't do homages."

That sounds like a good deal. I daresay I'd plunk down for F&S in print. I do read the online version, but I have limited screen time.A dial-up connection & only one networked computer in the home means a portable version is optimal. I usually print the F&S stories anyway.

15 -- still 35 short of the minimum number.

We're at numerological "6" now, which I won't even go into.....

Yes. I'd also look for another serial/episodic fiction feature. Maybe Quill and Quen? Or ... snag a series on spec from one of our loyal writers....

I was out of town listening to some mind-altering music, so I'm late coming in.

I most definitely and enthusiastically would subscribe to a print Flashing Swords at $25.

And my brother...18. Since I'm a firm believer of putting my money where my mouth is (must be the poker player in me) how about we give thought to the idea of a good faith advance on the subscription? Make a donation to FS or swordandsorcery.org for, say, ten bucks? Once we hit that magic number, of course. Or before, which I'm sure would please Dan. :-)

Are we stalled now? Not even halfway there! Are we to conclude there is not enough support among FS core readership to make the pub a print pub?

BTW, Rob, asking for actual money is probably scaring away a good number of posters! lol I definitely was going to cut the number in 1/2 mentally so far as pledges to actual subscribers, figuring when we DID start asking for subscription money (which we AREN'T YET) there would be a good % of pledges who didn't follow through on actuallybuying a sub.

SO, that in consioderation, we could average a total of 9 possible subscriptions from 18 pledges, which is 7 short of 1/2 the number I needed to even bring the print version up at the next PB meeting.....
