Something else that was launched at Eastercon is Aethernet, a brand new fiction magazine edited by Barbara Ballantyne. It is somewhat different from the likes of Clarkesworld, Lightspeed et al in that it will contain only serial fiction, not stand alone short stories. The writers who have signed up for the initial issue are Chris Beckett, Juliet E McKenna, Philip Palmer, Adrian Tchaikovsky and Ian Whates. The magazine is available as an epub, mobi or PDF, and from the sample issue I have seen looks nicely put together. Individual issues cost £3, but you’ll probably want to pay £20 for the full first year’s subscription. After all, what’s the point in buying just part of several serialized works? You can find out more about the magazine, and buy your subscriptions, at their website. Juliet has more information about it here.

I hope that there’s more diversity in the issues 🙁
You’re kidding me, right?
This is Britain, sir. Not some namby-pamby, liberal-infested country full of feminazis and metrosexuals like the USA.
Have you seen the Clarke short list? Proper British, that is.
I love the concept of serialised fiction – it’s like 2000AD, for grown-ups! 🙂
