I don’t think that it will ever be just one or the other…unless of course we are thrown into a dark age without electricity. Then it will be back to print only. Let’s hope that does not happen.

I don’t remember if it published any fiction. It definitely went live at the start of 2000 after some fanfare. It was akin to SciFi.com in its mix of nonfiction columns and reviews. Up to that point, it looked like one of the biggest attempts at an online SF magazine and it seemed to have some serious funding. But it came down so fast that I took it as a big lesson in the economics of online publishing at that stage in the development of the medium.

I don’t recall seeing it launch ever, but according to the waybackmachine it did go live in 2000, but then went quickly moribund a year later. It wouldn’t have made any impact, I suspect, and google only comes up with three matches, with “Amy Stout” and “Galaxy Online.” Did it run much fiction?
