Comments on The Long, Sad Death of the Sci-fi Magazine
I've read hundreds of these...a friend gave me his collection of Asimovs, F&SF, and Analog years ago. I've probably got every issue from 1969-89, some older and some newer. Sure some of it is not so great, but a lot is worth reading. A 2 parter by Kilgore Trout complete with fake photo/bio from '69 (I think) is very cool.
@1: I so want that Kilgore Trout 2-parter.
uh, you didn't really need to put "Sci-fi" in your title...ALL print magazines are dying to one degree or the other...
Sadly, @3 has a point. But writing short stories for a magazine always felt a lot more fun than slaving at a novel, from my perspective.
Even if book authors are the ones that do better in the long run.
@2: Looks like it was Decemder 74 - Jan. 75, not '69, and not Vonnegut. Still a good story, though.
Yup...here's the cover, this is the one I have somewhere:)
