You might be interested in a couple of online magazines. Baen has _Jim
Baen's Universe_, a pro-quality online magazine, available, at
www.baens-universe.com. It's up to Volume II No. 5 currently, but all
the previous issues are available; it's bimonthly, Mike Resnick claims
responsibility for editing it, and you do pay for it--it's downloadable,
so you can read it on your e-reader of choice. Another online magazine
which seems to be continuing, is _Helix_ at www.helixsf.com. It's
quarterly, has names I recognize on the masthead (William Sanders and
Lawrence Watt-Evans, for instance), and is essentially begware (they
give it to you free, and ask for voluntary donations).
