I don't know what your deffinition of mainline SF magazines is, but I would think that this particulare one, while not what I would consider to be mainline, it's kind of in the oposite direction on that axis from the direction your request seemd to imply you were requesting. Actually it isn't. It is the address of Scifiction (or SCIFICTION as the editor Ellen Datlow would have it), an independent ezine funded and hosted by The Sci-Fi Channel. I'm unable to decode exactly what you are trying to say in your last sentence but I notice you don't make any alternative suggestions. For me the mainline SF magazines clearly implies Asimovs, Analog, FSF and the like. So let's recap: newer ezine? Check. Hot and with-it? Check. Good fiction with media coverage that brings in a young crowd? Check. Paying market? Check. --Martin ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

It doesn't matter what way you orgainize the company, or which bucket the dollors go into or whatever. It's Sci-Fi Channel (Full Stop) I was refering to the axis running from grass roots to plastic- corparat-controlled. Underground to comercial. Inteligent Sci-Fi to Sci-Fi for baffons. And if db was looking to go deeper than mainline, to a grass roots kind of op, Sci-Fi channel would be the exact opposit direction. ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
