Hi AE35, I used to order it through my local newsagent but, for some reason, they told me it had stopped being published. Untrue of course.

I contacted Analog direct and ordered it through them. It now comes through the post from a UK distributor. And guess what? It's cheaper that way.

Let me know if you want details and I'll get them to you.

I subscribed to F&SF for a year and Asimov's for a year. I liked them both. If you're a budding writer and want to start establishing a name for yourself, these two mags, in the US at least, are the prime places to try to place your fiction.

Tough competition though. I haven't cracked them yet.

I used to subscribe to F&SF. Great mag. Usually grab any of their anthologies when I come across them book hunting.

There's quite a few copies of SF mags available on Bookmooch. I recently got a copy of Asimov's from there. Which reminds me,must get round to reading it!

Oh i love that film. Been a while tho

Magazine wise, i'm still getting SFX and Sci-Fi now. When i see it, i will get Deathray as it does focus on different aspect of SF that you don't normally see covered in the other two. (Fantasy Artists for example.)

I get the Star Wars insider magazine as well.

Imagine a little deer. He's walking slowly up to a stream and he's about to put his cute little nose down and drink the cool water, and, BAM!, you shoot 'em in the f'ing head!

Or something like that. That movie is fantastic.

Is it not available near you Rodders?
I have last 'month's issue lying about. If you want it PM me your address.

[Rodders]

Some times i see it and sometimes i don't. I normally either have to go to a big Tescos Superstore or WH Smith near work. I think i have the latest one.

Used to read FEAR many years ago, then SFX but stopped buying it about 3yrs ago.

But it only discussed two periodicals of Science Fiction. Are there more? I am not a regular subscriber for any.

Oh my, yes. Lots of genre magazines to choose from. For many of these you can order single issues to try out if you can't find them locally, which seems likely for all but the biggest titles.

Back in the day when I DID subscribe to SF periodicals, it was Analog (Astounding Science Fiction), The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Galaxy, If, Amazing, Fantastic, etc. Most are gone now. Now you know how old I am.
