If any of you aren't familiar with
F&SF, I highly recommend it. You can pick it up for $4 at Borders or Barnes & Noble. January's issue has stories by Le Guin, Sheila Finch, Laird Barron, Arthur Porges, and James Sallis.
blurb
The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, founded in 1949, is the award-winning SF magazine which is the original publisher of SF classics like Stephen King's Dark Tower, Daniel Keyes's Flowers for Algernon, and Walter M. Miller's A Canticle for Leibowitz.
Unfortunately, I have not yet seen one of SRD's shorts appear there.

I've picked up some of their compilation books with several short stories each at the local librabry, but didn't like them very much ... maybe because I don't like short stories in fantasy in general, unless they share the background worlds of novels I know.

it does take a little getting used to. fortunately, i was lucky enough to get into a short stories class in highschool (i was a sophomore, it was a junior class and they never offered it again) that made me fall in love with short fiction.
and dude, that pic. i don't know if i should laugh or shudder

Funny, that's just what the last girl I asked for a date said.

Well I'll be damned. Sent off an email today, got this response.
We're working on getting an index on our Website, but we have more than 53 years' worth of issues and it's a huge job.
Stephen Donaldson has published three stories with us:
1) "The Lady in White" - Feb. 1978
2) "Mythological Beast" - Jan. 1979
3) "What Makes Us Human" - Aug. 1984
Sincerely,
Andrew Grossman

I have always liked Fantasy and Sci-Fi! I went 2 H.S. in Cornwall Connecticut, which was the original location of the publisher--so I have seen the inner workings b4!

that's cool, danlo.
i just read the short by le guin tonight. excellent, excellent writing. there's such a sense of depth and feeling for the character/people of the story that's really hard to elicit in short fiction.

OK, as a corollary to another thread kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=4047 concerning IASFM (Isaac Asimov's SF Magazine). At a convention I attended recently it came up as an aside, that Gordon Van Gelder (editor of F and SF) routinely receives messages from readers that have the tone of 'why are there so many smutty stories in your magazine'?
