Building behind the scenes is slow because of time and money constraints. Periodically afraid that by the time we have anything on this end, there will be nothing left to help. But, we continue: the options are try or give up all hope, and trying is better

Having a disgruntled and annoyed morning on behalf of short fiction magazines that got the double tap of Twitter becoming an unusable cesspit and breaking those connections, followed by Amazon deciding to take away a funding source built up over years. Tell a zine you love them today.

If you want there to be F&SF fiction mags, we need to do something now, while Amazon is removing their support. Check out one mag's website today and support them, if you have the means. Or just RT this if you can't, because the situation is pretty dire.
