I'll have to go and check those reprints out. I love pulp sci-fi, more so then I thought I would. I guess Isaac Asimov's Before the Golden Age really bit me a bit deeper then I thought.

I know that's not the same as what you're asking for, but I'm just asking if you've found our current series of reprints interesting. We started doing online fiction reprints about a year ago and as far as I can tell, nobody has noticed.

Newspapers almost gave up faced with the prospect of the internet threat. But they have reinvented themselves. Its possible for F & FS. The best fiction but at the moment its just for the few. Maybe if the website highlighted the famous stories from ray bradbury etc from 1949 ....... well that will bring in new readers especially those for whom 1949 is ancient history? (Warning fior americans - previous paragraph contains text intended to be ironic) Maybe if the magazine had an editorial - so the readers can see how the magazine is led? (I dont have a good way to argue for this but i do really feel its a weakness Dont give up. Newspapers almost gave up faced with the prospect of the internet threat.
